Can't make this up. Bankers were "almost crying" the CFPB was holding them accountable. So Trump & co-President Musk sided w/Megabanks & are trying to shut down the CFPB, a popular agency that 4️⃣in5️⃣ Americans support, & has returned over $21 BILLION to harmed consumers from abusive fin. institutions.

What’s in your wallet? NOTHING, because the Trump Administration literally just gave Capital One and other big banks a get out of jail free card when cheating consumers out of their hard earned money. Still think Trump & co-President Elon Musk are looking out for you? www.msn.com/en-us/money/...
