Just 35 complaints of debanking cite political bias despite Trump order
By Ross Kerber (Reuters) -Less than one percent of customers who filed detailed complaints about checking or savings account closures with the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau over the last 13 years accused banks of acting for political or religious reasons, even as the White House mounts a campaign to stamp out "systemic abuses" in the financial system that it says have wronged conservatives, a review of the agency's data shows. U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month signed an executive order requiring banks not to discriminate against clients on political or religious grounds, a practice known as debanking, after citing what Trump called discrimination against conservatives. The White House said the order was targeting "systemic abuses by financial institutions that undermine free expression and economic opportunity." But few customers who have been denied access to banking products cite their political affiliation as a chief concern. Out of the 8,361 detailed complaints about closed bank accounts filed with the CFPB since the agency began taking them in 2012, only 35 include the terms 'politics,' 'religion,' 'conservative' or "Christian," a review by Reuters shows. "It's not a real issue. 'Debanking' is an excuse for political attacks," said Amanda Jackson, a director for Americans for Financial Reform, a coalition of progressive-leaning groups. The group and others say a bigger problem is making sure U.S. banks provide services to poorer consumers. Financial institutions have tried to balance fair access with steps to combat a wave of fraud, and say they have not cut customers over their political views. Rachel Cauley, communications director for the White House's Office of Management and Budget, whose leader Russell Vought is also CFPB's acting director, did not directly address questions about the small number of complaints. She repeated claims that members of the Trump family and others have been cut off from banking services on the basis of political or religious beliefs. The actions, Cauley said, amount to "an Orwellian censorship tactic that is antithetical to the American way of life. The Trump Administration believes access to the financial system is a fundamental right for all Americans." The CFPB data does not identify filers. While none of the 35 complaints provided proof that their accounts were closed for political or religious reasons, filers said they suspected that was the case. "I believe this is discriminatory actions based on race, religion and/or political views," according to a 2023 complaint filed against JPMorgan over account closures. A JPMorgan representative, Lauren Bianchi, said via email that "We do not close accounts for political or religious reasons, full stop." The bank supports a national prohibition on account closures for political or religious reasons, and for regulators to allow more transparency in those cases, she said. Brian Knight, senior counsel for the Alliance Defending Freedom, which calls itself a Christian law firm and is supportive of Trump's executive order, said the small number of complaints citing politics or religion could reflect that banks are not required to disclose much detail to consumers they drop. "There's no information-sharing mechanisms" short of litigation to force banks to be more open about their thinking, Knight said.

Put a fork in it: America First as a foreign policy doctrine is dead
Advertisement Getting involved in that war — or even caring about it — seemed to ran counter to the 'America First' foreign policy Trump had long espoused. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Until recently, American interest in that war was mostly indirect, shaped by higher global energy prices and the possibility that if Russia swallowed Ukraine, Putin would soon be at the doorstep of a NATO ally that the United States is obligated to defend. Beyond that, most Americans were insulated from the consequences. Yet Trump's foreign policy involvement has gone far beyond Ukraine. He has personally stepped in to de-escalate tensions between Israel and Hamas, Syria, and Iran. He helped broker cease-fires between India and Pakistan, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Armenia and Azerbaijan. Through it all, Trump has been clear about what motivates him: he wants a Nobel Peace Prize. He has not only said as much publicly but reportedly Advertisement The problem, of course, is that none of those conflicts were inherently about America or American interests. Which begs the question: what happened to being 'America First'? The answer is that it is essentially dead. The doctrine has become yet another casualty of Trump's ever-shifting impulses, often changing with the last conversation he had or the latest shiny object to catch his attention. The real break may have come when Trump decided to For Trump, defending Israel has long been a priority. But if recent negotiations are any guide, he may now be prepared to extend a similar security umbrella to Ukraine as part of a larger peace deal. This is the precise kind of global policeman role Trump had once promised to reject. The original appeal of 'America First' was that it provided a blueprint for a nation exhausted by decades of costly foreign wars. It was a slogan meant to reassure voters that US soldiers would no longer be sent into conflicts with little direct bearing on their lives. Advertisement When Trump entered his second term, America First was very much alive. USAID was gutted as was Voice of America. The integrated free trade status quo was out, and tariffs were in. Trump would no longer defer to other nations' self-determination automatically, but famously But now, Trump has now positioned himself as the indispensable dealmaker for conflicts spanning multiple continents. His interventions may generate headlines and even, at times, reduce immediate bloodshed. But they also underscore the collapse of a once-defining principle of his political identity. In the end, America First is not so much a foreign policy doctrine as it is a rhetorical relic, one that Trump has discarded when it no longer suited his ambitions. What remains is not a coherent worldview but a collection of improvisations driven by ego, optics, and the pursuit of personal glory. What this means for the future of MAGA after Trump is very uncertain. There is an element of the base that certainly was drawn to this idea. But if there are Republicans who want to run for president in 2028 with more of an establishment view on foreign policy, they may no longer be perceived as out of touch. The loss of America First may also may help explain why foreign leaders are so eager to flock to the White House these days. They know that, for all his bluster about putting America first, Trump is now putting himself at the center of the world stage. And he is ready to change his mind again.
