If banks are truly that politicized, he could even do a private debt placement with wealth investors. If his business is solid, there are many wealthy conservatives who would likely support him.

That may not be an option right now. Many of those right now are pulling loans to pay dividends.

Lots of CEO’s who have obtained celebrity status have done this, so I dont know if your assertation is true.

You can probably film about a years stock of commercials in about 6 hours.

Mike Lindell is a carny barker who had a great run. But if he can’t run his business he needs to go away. Why buy his pillows when you can get good pillows at Costco for a couple bucks?

I once worked for Amex, I do not think that there was anything political about this.

Most likely they saw the auction he had, and that his suppliers were demanding payment sooner and decided that he was a potential credit risk and reacted accordingly.

Amex is extremely anal about their money and collecting it.

I have an amex card with no limit, if I wanted to go out and buy a Tesla with it I could, however if I went 30 days late with another card they would freeze my spending limit so fast it would make my head spin.

AMEX is a back stabbing company. In Africa, most places where you present an AMEX card, you may get your lights punched out.

Surely there is an independent small town bank in Minnesota that would give him a line of credit.

Amazing to read the venomous comments against Lindell, who is on the front lines taking shots as he speaks in defense of Christianity, free elections and Capitalism. Without these three basics, America is no longer a beacon of light for freedom.

Eliminate those three basics from society and we are then left with a communist takeover. What exactly are Lindells detractors doing for the sake of freedom? Who among us can claim they have equaled his financial contribution and vocal support towards freedom and free enterprise?

The comments above sound equal to those one would read on DU threads! Shame!

I for one thank Lindell and those like him.

He is running his huge business on a line of credit from American Express? That’s hilarious.

I wonder if he gets points for that.

It's interesting to note all the "Trump Exception"* freepers posting on this thread, ain't it?

No outrage over an abuse of the banking system, but plenty of bashing of Lindell.

*The Trump Exception - it's OK to fold, spindle and mutilate the laws and the Constitution, just as long as we get rid of Trump. It's a one-off, dontchaknow!

It’s a shame there aren’t any conservative bankers, web hosts, etc so we have to rely on enemies for everything.

The government absolutely refuses to do anything about this kind of thing because they are 100% behind it.

“Mike Lindell is a carny barker who had a great run. But if he can’t run his business he needs to go away.”

That’s my poorly informed opinion.

Also, a lender isn’t going to publicly give a reason for an action on a client because of privacy concerns.

But it seems like they’d tell the client.
