SNL’s The mockery comes as Donald Trump told an audience in New Hampshire to prevent the government and the financial industry from immediately closing the accounts of center-right customers on political grounds, removing their ability to participate in the economy. This happened after he said he would work to improve the situation.
“We will put in place strong safeguards to stop banks and regulators from trying to shut down bank accounts,” Trump told the audience. “They want to abolish your bank account. “We’re going to abolish banks…” Think about this — they want to take your country. ”

Meanwhile, left-wing privileged producers and actors SNL While it may be unfamiliar to recent events, the term “debanking” has long been a problem for conservatives, Christians, gun owners, and Republicans.

This is not just an American phenomenon. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has forcibly frozen the bank accounts of Freedom Convoy truck drivers protesting the government’s vaccine mandate.

This is similar to when Dennis Prager made a remark about putting tampons in the men’s room and Bill Maher’s entire audience laughed at him.
The left doesn’t know what’s going on until it’s too late.
And due to cognitive dissonance, you have to justify why that is a good thing. https://t.co/240vBF5K15

Dear Libs
SNL’s “Belly Flops” news segment pokes fun at Trump with comedic skits that show his complete disconnect from liberal reality.
They thought the word debunking was a misnomer.
