'SNL' mocked for their 'woke smugness' after claiming Trump made up the term 'de-banking'
Fox News
“Saturday Night Live" suggested that former President Donald Trump made up the term “de-banking" which refers to banks closing people’s accounts without reason.
"Trump did have a slight stumble this week while talking about banks, and he introduced an interesting new term called de-bank," Jost said. "I don't know what the hell de-bank means, but you might have to take ‘de-ambulance’ to see ‘de-doctor.’" Lindsay Kornick is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.

However, de-banking, or de-risking, is a real term used to refer to banks closing people or organizations’ accounts, sometimes without appeal, after perceiving them to be a legal, financial or reputational threat.
