You are looking at the overnight one day loans?LMAO. You should really look at your source a little better next time. You are not even in the ballpark.
pssst - here is a hint: VIRTUALLY NOTHING the federal government puts out in a chart is ever in actual dollars. It is ALMOST ALWAYS in millions+ because the government is so damn large.
Pssst, here's a hint, banks are only borrowing $2 million from the Fed's Discount Window.
Most of the fed window loans are longer term then primary credit. It's my understanding that TAF and TALF are/were the main pumps used to "fix" the recession.

Did you note the 1.5T held by the fed in mortage lending?
You pointed to one of the fed pumps.. but that is just one of many. Looks like it's no longer the preferred one.

I'm not talking about events 5 years ago, I'm talking about today.
Today, banks are borrowing $2 million from the Fed Discount Window while banks are
lending the Fed over $2.4 trillion.

Of course, based on your claim.
You say, "anks are currently lending the Fed trillions, not borrowing." Huh? The way the fed system works is the fed lets the federal reserve banks borrow money from the fed and pay the fed back interest at the federal discount lending rate.

Yes, the Fed bought MBS. Not to be confused with "the Fed lent to banks".
