12. Trump, Musk and Vought effectively dismantled the CFPB.

Wed Jan 14, 2026, 03:40 PM

Wednesday

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau shielded bank customers from predatory practices by banks, such as failing to sequence deposits so as to prevent overdraft fees. The destruction of the CFPB will create hardship for lower income citizens. Trump, with his hypocritical, meaningless executive order, is lying to lower income citizens that he is fighting for them. If he is ever questioned as to why credit card interest rates did not come down, he will blame it on the Democrats.
