“Saturday Night Live” attempted to mock Donald Trump’s use of the term “de-banking” in a recent segment, suggesting that Trump had made up the term.
Colin Jost said, “[Trump] hasn’t lost a step.”
“Trump did have a slight stumble this week while talking about banks and he introduced an interesting new term called ‘de-bank’,” he continued.

In a clip, Trump said, “We’re also going to place strong protections to stop banks and regulators from trying to de-bank you.”
“They want to de-bank you and we are going to de-bank,” continued the former president.
“I don’t know what ‘de-bank’ means,” admitted Jost.
“But he might need to take de-ambulance to see de-doctor,” added the SNL Weekend Update host.
However, “de-banking” is a real phenomenon that has been reported in various countries, including Canada, the UK, and the US.
The term refers to banks and regulators severing ties with individuals or organizations for various reasons, such as political or religious viewpoints.
The segment’s attempt to ridicule Trump’s use of the term was criticized as ignorant and dangerous, given the serious implications of de-banking for individuals and society.
