‘Very serious stuff’: SNL’s attempt to mock Donald Trump backfires

Newsweek's senior editor-at-large Josh Hammer has hit back at SNL for mocking Donald Trump’s use of the word “de-bank” in a recent skit. During a “Weekend Update” segment of the show, cast member Colin Jost accused Mr Trump of making up the word “de-bank.” Mr Hammer said it is an “extraordinarily troubling phenomenon.” “This is very serious stuff… this impacts people’s livelihoods,” Mr Hammer told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi. “Regardless of what the remedy is this term has been around for a long time. “I’m actually very happy Donald Trump is talking about it.”
