Trump Sues Bank for $5 Billion, Cites January 6 as Bad Credit Score

KEY POINTS

•Donald Trump sued JPMorgan Chase and CEO Jamie Dimon on Thursday over political debanking allegations after the January 6 protests.
•Trump seeks at least $5 billion claiming trade libel and violation of Florida's Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act in Miami-Dade court.
•JPMorgan denies closing accounts for political reasons, and has yet to publicly respond to the lawsuit filed via a Truth Social hint.

In a Miami-Dade state court plot twist likely written by a soap opera writer, Donald Trump sued the banking behemoth JPMorgan and its star CEO Jamie Dimon for a staggering $5 billion. His offense? JPMorgan allegedly 'incorrectly and inappropriately' yanked his account post-January 6, a move Trump believes is a nasty case of political debanking. Despite JPMorgan's August statement that they don't close accounts for politics, Trump fired off his lawsuit after hinting via Truth Social he'd sue over the weekend—a platform known for... candid updates. The lawsuit riffs on trade libel and Florida's Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act, because why not throw in legal Spice Girls? No word yet from JPMorgan, probably polishing their lawyer jokes.

Nothing says 'business savvy' like suing your bank for vetoing your January 6 fantasy bank account, because political neutrality apparently means 'No Trump Allowed.'

Trump's lawsuit against JPMorgan proves even billionaires can't pay their way out of political fallout—or maybe he just wants a banking refund with interest.
