You really can't make this stuff up....

Trump:

"Think of that: no death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker. And in some cases, Shylocks and bad people."

Well, Trump could certainly stand to lose a couple of pounds of flesh,

Trump will be taking forceful and unprecedented steps to fight anti--semitism against himself in 3...2...1.............

It is a Shakespeare reference.

Also -- and most don't know this -- Venice played an important role in the history of banking.

Vide Ferguson, The Ascent of Money.

Trump quoting Shakespeare???

LMFAO!!!!

This is a Time Magazine article from September 14, 2014:
On Tuesday, Vice President Joseph Biden referred to those who make bad loans to members of the military, to take advantage of them while they’re overseas, as “Shylocks.”...

"...Biden apologized for his language ...after the Anti- Defamation League declared it to be an anti-Semitic slur.....
But the vice president’s apology has confused some — perhaps because the term was, not too long ago, considered by many to be appropriate for public usage..."

[elklindo69]

And Trump will be apologizing for his poor choice of words in 3...2...1....................

Amazing! silly has actually pointed out that Trump had no excuse whatsoever for using this anti-Semitic language because it was an issue for Biden immediately before Trump ran for president the first time and it was clear that the usage was declared publicly to be an anti-Semitic by the Anti-Defamation League.

I commend silly for providing the evidence against Trump's false claim that he didn't know it was an anti-Semitic slur...

Now let's wait for Trump to apologize for his anti-Semitic language the way Biden had the good grace to do. What do you think, silly? Will Trump be as big a man as Biden?

[elklindo69]

Trump's claims that he wasn’t aware that "Shylock" is an antisemitic slur. Now I believe that claim as much as time when he claimed that he didn't know who David Duke was.

Trump is a New Yorker...and you are going to tell me that he doesn't know any Jewish bankers????

Now it seems that Elkin is engaging in slurs about Jewish bankers.

Mr Forbes made two crucial points:

1) This was a Shakespeare reference and thus flew over the heads of 8th grade dropouts such as Elkin.

2) Venice played a significant role in the development of modern banking, which of course included loans.
