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.
UPI reports Ohio State University found nearly 40% of US residents plan to attend gatherings of ten or more people this holiday season. Despite concerns over the spread of COVID-19, one-third of respondents said they wouldn't ask attendees at holiday parties with family or friends to wear masks. The data showed that just over 25% indicated that they wouldn't practice social distancing, either. Figures from Johns Hopkins University report nearly 10.5 million people nationally have been sickened by the virus. More than 240,000 have died from it.
