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.

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.)

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.
