President Trump’s real-estate and golf empire was already struggling. The backlash from last week’s riot could make the situation worse.

One of the Trump Organization’s most loyal partners, German lender Deutsche Bank AG , is moving to distance itself from the president’s businesses and is unlikely to lend it more money, says a person familiar with the matter. The bank has lent the Trump Organization more than $300 million that will mature in 2023 and 2024, forcing the company to refinance the debt or pay it off by potentially selling assets.

Deutsche Bank was one of the few major financial institutions willing to do business with Mr. Trump because of his tumultuous financial history. Smaller banks also broke from the president. New York-based Signature Bank said it was closing two of President Trump’s accounts in response to the Washington riot. The accounts held about $5.3 million.

“We witnessed the president of the United States encouraging the rioters and refraining from calling in the National Guard to protect the Congress in its performance of duty,” the bank said, urging Mr. Trump to resign. The other risk to the Trump Organization is that some customers stop patronizing its businesses, in particular its hotels and golf courses. The company has tried to sell its Washington, D.C., hotel, but the pandemic made buyers wary. The hotel was popular with supporters of Mr. Trump and with organizations trying to seek favor from the president. Business had already been expected to decline there once Mr. Trump leaves office.

Good for him. He should be bankrupt and impeached.

BoycottTrump literally everything they touch every business , hotel, golf resort , apartments

That would be so sad.

He has grifted more than $140M in donations since Nov 3rd, i read a couple of weeks ago.

Hopefully.

WSJ continues to promote stories to distract from the top story of the day: Republican sedition.

Well if the Dems are foolish enough to proceed with impeachment, I'm confident Trump's real estate business will pick up.

YES !! Bring all his s... down , just as he tried to bring this country down !!

After the mindless comment Trump made today, Pence should invoke the 25th amendment NOW!

Good......

Switch to the TELEGRAM app, there is no censorship

the swamp........

I said from the beginning that Trump's name and 'reputation' would become anathema after he left office. Not because of any riot backlash, but a terrible-human-being-backlash. (I also said Melania would divorce him after they left the White House. That one is still unfolding.)

the swamp.......

Could not have happened to a better family.
