      Surely the media will call out this obvious anti-Semite with the same vehemence that theyve been obsessing over Mamdami implying Israel’s government sucks. Surely.

      The Anti-Defamation League is writing excuses as we speak

      The ADL won’t call him out for these, it’s too busy making up shit about Zohran.

    3. I did a double take when I heard it live. Then double checked with my Jewish friends if it was still offensive.

      It is.

      Do presidents usually travel this much essentially rallying like this? Doesn’t he have I don’t know, things to do?

    5. kingofcrosses on

      Yeah but Harvard is the real source of anti-semitism in this country…

    6. We do live in stupid times.

      A ton of these pro-Israel guys are deeply antisemitic while claiming that it’s everyone else that’s antisemitic and a bunch of kool-aid chugging rubes are buying it.

    7. The ADL won’t say shit, their only goal is to keep American politicians occupied while Israel continues their genocide unimpeded

      Dear lord this man is so racist he’s reaching into apparently Shakespearean era antisemetic terms I’ve never even seen nor heard in my 30 odd years of life, jesus christ.

      He doesn’t even know who the OG “Shylock” is, obviously.

      But he definitely knows how to dog whistle.

    10. I’m sure the ADL will abandon their campaign against Zohran Mamdani to address this actual instance of anti-semitism.

      He did it! He’s so close to the other slur that we know he wants to say. Do it, Donnie! /s

    12. Uhhh_what555476384 on

      Give him a minute folks, he hasn’t worked the N-Word or talk of a Final Solution into the speech yet.

      He’s still got time.

      Shylock?

      That’s a rare antisemitic insult you only hear from rich people.

      No doubt most Trump supporters ran to Google to figure out that one.

    14. friendsafariguy11 on

      BBbut those universities hate Jews! We need to take all of their funding away for antisemitism!!1!

      Proceeds to utter antisemitic slurs.

      WTF.

      We read Merchant of Venice in HS. My English teacher was a lapsed Irish Catholic with a Jewish wife. They were raising their kids Jewish. He brought this up to give some context about the discussions we were about to have and alert us about certain sensitivities. He then laid out for us where the stereotype that Shakespeare was playing into came from: good Christians weren’t allowed to lend money and Jews were barred from many (if not all) professions considered respectable by good Christians. And since Judaism doesn’t forbid money-lending, Jews lent money. The anti-Semitic trope was born from anti-Semitic laws.

      And this fuck is just casually spitting this shit out while straight up attacking universities over alleged anti-Semitism. It’s not just his brain being mush. He’ll get away with it because enough people who catch the reference will secretly agree with the sentiments behind it.

    16. “No death tax, no estate tax,” Trump told the crowd. “No going to the banks and borrowing from – in some cases – a fine banker, in some cases, shylocks and bad people.”

      Trump went on to say the “shylocks and “bad people” managed to “destroy a lot of families.” The president then pivoted to slamming Democrats, who uniformly opposed his bill in the House and Senate.

      “Not one Democrat voted for us,” Trump continued. “And I think we use it in the campaign that’s coming up, the midterm, because we’re gotta beat them. But all of the things that we’ve given, and they wouldn’t vote, only because they hate Trump. But I hate them too. You know that? I really do. I hate them. I cannot stand them because I really believe they hate our country.”

      So tell me how this isnt fascist talking?
      Excuse the slur he used in broad daylight.
      Let me hear the excuses just like the „many fine people“

    17. Pretty sure if we prick Trump, he won’t bleed. He only laughs at people being hurt. Poison? One can hope. If we wrong him, we know he will enact spiteful revenge.

    18. You know someone is truly racist when they pull out a racist term most people have never even heard of before.

    19. WillSherman1861 on

      A lot of his voters didn’t read the fine print that MAGA stands for Making Antisemitism Great Again!

    20. Animated_effigy on

      For those that don’t know, Shylock is the Jewish character in The Merchant of Venice who was known for his scheming and immoral revenge plans. The character basically strengthened a preexisting racist Jewish stereotype forgenerations as Shakespeare was required reading for hundreds of years.

      (To be fair to Shakespeare, there are no good moral characters in Merchant, they’re all pieces of shit, especially the christian main charcters who force their religion on Shylock as punishment in the end.)

    21. HallucinogenicFish on

      Surely all the right-wingers who have been attacking university students and Democratic mayoral candidates for supposed antisemitism will be loudly up in arms about this. Right?

      …oh, you mean they actually *don’t* care about antisemitism? Huh.

    22. ElrondTheHater on

      People were putting bets on the first slur to come out of his mouth on live TV but I didn’t hear anyone bet on this one.

      People keep bringing up like this is an obscure reference to Shakespeare but just because you haven’t heard it used IRL in your own life doesn’t mean it’s not a slur. Its just a vintage slur, there used to be way more slurs in common usage.

    23. HistoricalPlum1533 on

      This is fully “mask-off” shit. Totally staggering that he would choose to use this terminology considering his supposedly ardent support of Israel. Side note, it’s also mindblowingly hypocritical when you consider the actions of the monstrous and stereotypical caricature he’s referencing compared to his own business practices. The iconic showdown with Zelenskyy in the Oval Office immediately comes to mind but there are countless other examples. Facts probably lost on him because he doesn’t read.

      „Our rights come from God, not our government.“ – Mike Johnson (R-La.). He said this right after the bill had passed, and again during the press conference to reiterate that (th)ey meant it.

      *Shrugs shoulders*

      I don’t consider myself that smart of a man, but that sounds like a Christian Caliphate proclamation.
