Wall Street distances itself from Trump, GOP after riots CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A growing number of Wall Street banks and businesses have cut ties with President Donald Trump's campaign and financial arms, as well as the broader Republican Party, following last week's riots and insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. The financial technology company Stripe has stopped processing payments for the Trump campaign, according to a person familiar with the matter who requested anonymity because the decision hasn't been made public. The move will cut off Trump's fundraising arm from what has been a steady stream of small-dollar donations that are often solicited through emails and text messages. Stripe's decision was first reported by The Wall Street Journal. In the days after the election, Trump's campaign raised tens of millions of dollars promising to use the money toward fighting the results of the election. That money largely appears to have gone into Trump's broader political action committee. American Express and JPMorgan Chase have said they would no longer donate to candidates who supported last week's insurrection or did not vote to confirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory in the Electoral College. Goldman Sachs is also holding back on political donations, a source at the firm familiar with the matter said who is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter. “Last week’s attempts by some congressional members to subvert the presidential election results and disrupt the peaceful transition of power do not align with our (values),” said American Express' CEO Steve Squeri, in an email to employees. Citigroup confirmed Sunday that it is pausing all federal political donations for the first three months of the year. In a memo to employees Friday, Citi’s head of global government affairs Candi Wolff said “we want you to be assured that we will not support candidates who do not respect the rule of law.” Several technology companies have clamped down on President Trump, the GOP and other forums that were considered avenues for violent extremism and insurrection. Twitter suspended Trump from its platform, as did Facebook, last week. The social media company Parler was banned from Apple's App Store as well as Google's Play Store, and Amazon cut off Parler from its Amazon Web Services platform. Shopify, an e-commerce platform for merchants to sell goods, also shut down the Trump campaign's merchandise website as well. Copyright 2021 The Associated Press.

Forbes editor warns companies that might hire Trump press secretaries: Magazine will assume everything they say is a lie Joshua Zitser Jan 10, 2021, 12:59 PM https://www.businessinsider.com/dont-hire-former-trump-officials-forbes-editor-warns-businesses-2021-1 The editor of Forbes, Randall Lane, has urged companies not to hire communications officials from President Donald Trump's administration. Lane wrote that there should be a "truth reckoning" after Wednesday's siege at the US Capitol. As part of that reckoning, Lane said there should be "repercussions" for those who had lied on behalf of Trump. Lane called out former Trump press secretaries by name and suggested any companies employing them would be viewed as a "potential funnel of disinformation." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. In the wake of Wednesday's siege at the US Capitol, Forbes' editor issued a warning to any companies thinking about hiring former communications officials from President Donald Trump's administration. Businesses that choose to hire Trump spokespeople will, the editor said, be held to close scrutiny. "Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie," the magazine's editor, Randall Lane, wrote. "We're going to scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we'd approach a Trump tweet." Read more: Secret Service experts are speculating in group chats about how Trump might be hauled out of the White House if he won't budge on Inauguration Day In the article titled "A Truth Reckoning: Why We're Holding Those Who Lied For Trump Accountable," Lane reflected on the lies that spurred rioters to ransack the US Capitol. The easiest way for American democracy to recover from the insurrection, he wrote, is to "create repercussions for those who don't follow the civic norms." In the Forbes article, Lane called out by name Trump's press secretaries Sean Spicer, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Stephanie Grisham, and Kayleigh McEnany as well as Trump's former White House counselor, Kellyanne Conway, a group to which he referred as "Trump's fellow fabulists." Politico reported on Thursday that some White House staff members were worried about securing their next job. Administration officials told the media outlet that they feared Wednesday's events would damage their reputations, finances, and future careers. Lower-level Trump staffers are also "trying to save face for future employment," a source told Politico. Several high-profile Trump officials have resigned since Wednesday, including Education Secretary Betsy DeVos; Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao; the Northern Ireland special envoy Mick Mulvaney, a former acting White House chief of staff; Melania Trump's chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham; Deputy Press Secretary Sarah Matthews; and the deputy national security advisor Matthew Pottinger. ____________________________________ Sean Spicer, Kayleigh McEnany, and Kellyanne Conway.

Never forget who came here and broke bread, ate garri, and yams with us while the Trump called us S-hit Hole Dwellers and didn't bother to visit in four years as president. The CEO of Twitter visited and was welcomed in several African nations. I don't recall Trump ever setting foot in/on the entire Continent of Africa.
