Trump: The two largest banks in the United States had previously refused to provide services.
President Trump said on Tuesday that the two largest banks in the United States had refused to provide services for him. Trump stated in an interview that JPMorgan Chase had informed him that he had 20 days to transfer "hundreds of millions of dollars in cash" to another bank. He did not specify when this occurred. Trump said that he then contacted Bank of America, wanting to "deposit over a billion dollars," but was told that the bank could not provide him with an account. "They said, 'we can't do it,'" Trump said, "so I went to one bank after another. In the end, I had to go to small banks all over the place. I mean, I put $10 million here, $10 million there." Trump mentioned his businesses on Tuesday, but it is not clear whether he was describing events related to personal accounts, business accounts, or both. "These banks have been very discriminatory against me, and I've been very good to banks in the past," Trump said.
