“I don’t know what the hell de-bank means, but you might have to take ‘de-ambulance’ to see ‘de-doctor.’”

There are corky terms Trump coins and are worth ridicule. “De-banking” is not one of them.

De-banking is a real word, also known as de-risking.

The term refers to banks closing people or organizations’ accounts after perceiving them to be a legal, financial or reputational threat.

Thus, the segment wasn’t the own the show intended it to be. Quite the opposite.

[That’s pretty much how one can sum up SNL’s ‘satire’ over the past 20-plus years, at least. It’s a kind of Pauline Kael-ism, if Kael had lived in an even more ignorant bubble than she reportedly did during the Nixon years. (There’s some dispute about the famous quote attributed to her, though.) If SNL’s writers didn’t know the term ‘de-bank,’ did they not think to Google it before de-pantsing themselves and their cast on national television? — Ed]
