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.
Attorney Lin Wood tweeted on Friday that Vice President Mike Pence should be arrested for treason and executed by firing squad. The staunch supporter of President Donald Trump also blamed Chief Justice John Roberts and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for the election results. According to Business Insider, Wood's remarks triggered some Republicans to issue tweets to distance themselves from him. Among them were Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis, and the conservative high school student Nicholas Sandmann. In recent weeks, Wood has filed or joined lawsuits to overturn President-elect Joe Biden's election victory. Wood has also cited conspiracy theories in the past.
The South Dakota Department of Health on Saturday reported 54 new deaths from COVID-19. According to Business Insider, the number surpassed the state's previous record death total of 53. But that didn't stop South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem from tweeting state residents and encouraging them to go shopping. The GOP governor has refused to issue a statewide mask mandate. She has also disputed science and calls to enact stricter measures to contain the virus in the state.
After Joe Biden was named US President-elect, President Donald Trump's re-election campaign swung into action, determined to reverse the outcome. One of its efforts was to set up a 'voter fraud hotline' at the campaign's headquarters in Arlington, Virginia. But according to Business Insider, the hotline has now been closed, after a TikTok trend led to a deluge of prank calls. TikTok users soon began uploading videos of themselves calling with fake claims and recording the reaction of the operator. The hotline has since been replaced with an online form. The inbox for the form has already been flooded with lewd images, the entire Bee Movie script, and more.
