The recent storming of the US Capitol seems to be hitting President Donald Trump not only politically, but financially as well. CNN reports a growing number of businesses suddenly want very little to do with Trump after he incited a mob of his supporters to attack the Capitol. Twitter and Facebook banned Trump indefinitely, and Stripe is no longer processing credit card payments for his campaign. Shopify stopped operating online stores for the Trump Organization and the campaign and the PGA is pulling a major golf tournament from a Trump resort. It's also unclear which, if any, banks will want to loan money to the Trump Organization.
Facebook temporarily paused its nationwide ban on political advertisements. This was to allow campaign messages about the Georgia senate runoffs. Facebook abruptly reversed course on Tuesday, according to Gizmodo. The news came via a blog post that the ban would resume following the election’s conclusion. Any ads about the Georgia runoff elections have been paused. Advertisers are not currently able to create new ads about social issues, elections, or politics.
Jordan Nabigon is the CEO of the content curation site Shared. He was a big Facebook customer, spending nearly $46 million in ads on the site. That is, until the platform booted him without warning or explanation. According to Business Insider, Facebook says Shared violated the site's terms and conditions. However, it wouldn't explain what the violations were. Nabigon says several of Shared's pages have been unpublished since October 26, taking 21 million of the company's followers with them. He added that Facebook gave him no warning that they could or would unpublish his pages, and that Facebook told him the decision was final. Business Insider reports Facebook has also locked Nabigon out of his personal account.
When it comes to getting people to get their checkbooks out to contribute to a presidential reelection campaign, having a first lady speak is a deal-closer. But according to CNN, America's current FLOTUS, First lady Melania Trump, is giving stumping a miss this season. In a historic break from precedent, Mrs. Trump has yet to set foot on the campaign trail this year even as her husband, President Donald Trump, fights for votes. Her absence is particularly likely to be felt when Trump appeals to suburban White women, whom he has openly begged to 'love' him. A source who knows the first lady told CNN Melania Trump is doing what she often does: whatever she feels like. He [Trump] knows her well enough to know that when she doesn't want to do something, it's not like he or anyone else is going to change her mind. Confidential source
