SNL’s Weekend Update Pillories Trump’s Viral ‘De-Bank’ Comment: ‘Might Have to Take De-Ambulance to See De-Doctor’

 

SNL’s Weekend Update went hard after former President Donald Trump’s cognitive function — taking several searing shots at the GOP frontrunner on Saturday.

In a rollicking kickoff to the segment, hosts Colin Jost and Michael Che hit Trump over a series of recent gaffes.

“After the New Hampshire primary, Nikki Haley attacked Donald Trump and called out his ‘senior moments.'” Che said. “Which made Trump so angry he almost ripped off the safety rails on his toilet.”

Jost also alluded to Haley calling for Trump to take a mental competency test.

“Here’s some footage of Trump trying to buzz in with his answers,” Jost said — before throwing to a clip of Trump repeatedly saying “ding, ding, ding.”

And then, to cap off the sequence, Jost referenced Trump’s recent, viral “de-bank” comment which left observers scratching their heads.

“But we’re also going to place strong protections to stop banks and regulators from trying to de-bank you,” Trump said at a New Hampshire rally Wednesday. He added, “They wanna de-bank you and we’re going to de-bank.”

“I don’t know what the hell de-bank means,” Jost said. “But he might have to take de-ambulance to see de-doctor.”
