Mike Lindell Pleads For Help as MyPillow 'Crippled' by American Express

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a prominent supporter of Donald Trump's discredited claim that the 2020 presidential election was rigged, has claimed American Express has taken "our credit line from a million dollars down to $100,000" which "just cripples" the company.

The outspoken Republican made the claim on Monday during an appearance on the War Room podcast of Steve Bannon, who served as Trump's White House chief strategist at the beginning of his administration.

In July, Lindell claimed MyPillow had "lost $100 million" after major retailers stopped stocking its products in response to his 2020 election fraud claims, saying he was hit by "massive, massive cancellation."

Lindell provided financial support for legal efforts to reverse Joe Biden's election win and the MyPillow logo was included on TrumpMarch.com, a website promoting the January 6, 2021, protest in Washington, D.C., which immediately preceded the storming of Congress.

...unless the risk exceeds tolerances.
The risk on his modest & flailing company has exceeded tolerances.
Besides, despite all his whining, he brought all this on himself. All he had to say in November 2020 was "Oh, well."
But, he boarded the crazy train & cost himself his company (of which he was not the sole owner of equity, and the banks owned 83.3% off the top.)

You got canceled by the free market. You attracted bright lights and undercut your brand image, lost market share and brought attention to your overpriced low quality product. That all sounds like the free market worked wonderfully in this rare case.

Poor pillow guy! Liberal woke cancel culture is to blame here, so get on pillow guy's website and order a bunch of crap. Use the promo code XXXX.

Hey Mikey... Since Trump is kind of a religious messiah like figure to the Christian right, maybe put out an appeal for prayer. I'm sure your God will get AMEX to raise that credit limit via divine intervention. After all... you always have that cross around your neck. So pray for it. I'm sure all those religious leaders who prayed over Trump will support you.
