They destroyed a lot of families, but we did the opposite."

Trump later claimed he was unaware of the term’s antisemitic connotations, stating, "I’ve never heard it that way. To me, a Shylock is somebody that’s a money lender at high rates

What's the term for someone who takes out loans at high (or low) rates and then declines to pay them back.every.time?

Here are some alternatives:

*serial defaulter
*chronic debtor
*deadbeat
*loan defaulter

That person is affectionately known as a "Trump"

Yup. According to a 2020 NYT report, Trump’s lenders forgave approximately $287 million in debt, much of it related to the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Chicago. The report details how Trump defaulted on loans, sued his lender (Deutsche Bank) for alleged predatory practices, and ultimately had significant portions of the debt forgiven, which allowed him to avoid substantial federal income tax on the canceled debt due to losses in other businesses.

Correct, and he apologized the next day. Has Trump apologized yet?

He is a New Yorker from Queens. Of course he knew what it meant. That word predates me and I am

Or he’s just stupid and undereducated.

Or he has dementia and doesn’t remember what the word means. He makes factual and simple errors in his speech all the time. And I’m not talking about his lies – – he just doesn’t know a whole lot or has forgotten it due to his dementia.

So it's about the apology, not the use of the word?

Ah, now THAT’S the true Donald Trump MAGA knows and loves. For a moment there those MAGAs we’re getting a little worried with all that supposed concern about antisemitism at Columbia and Harvard. Now that he got what he wanted, he’s back to his normal self.

Ignorance is not a defense when you're in a position of authority. Especially THIS. Come on. But I'm sure everyone on the right is excusing him.

Now imagine the press coverage if Biden said that.

Hell, I remember the coverage of the garbage comment. Front page everywhere. Nary a peep about this. Mainstream media is either MAGA or scared. Pathetic either way.

I’m starting to think Trump and MAGAs don’t actually care about anti-semitism.

They don’t. Not at all. It was just a tool for Don the Con to attack higher education. Otherwise, he doesn’t give a $&@! If anyone is harassed, hurt or killed. In true MAGA spirit, he got his, everyone else can go to hell.
