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..."

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?

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.

johnny, if you quote an anti-Semitic Shakespeare passage, it's still anti-Semitic, dummy. Just because Shakespeare wrote it hundreds of years ago doesn't make it okay to use when speaking about people today.

And secondly, it is utterly irrelevant that Venice played a significant role in the development of modern banking. What the fuck does that have to do with getting Trump off the hook for using anti-Semitic language, dimwit?

Neither of your silly diversions is in any way "crucial" to the point of this thread. Your childish self-importance is really incredible.

Yet , I just heard Benny has nominated Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize....

“I’m stopping wars. I’m stopping wars. And I hate to see people killed,” Trump claimed at the White House dinner on Monday.
The president did confirm plans to send more weapons to Ukraine. “We have to,” Trump said. “They have to be able to defend themselves. They’re getting hit very hard now. They’re getting hit very hard. We’re going to have to send more weapons,...” --The Daily Beast

I wonder what happened to Trump's other plan to end that war in 24 hours? (You know, the one that didn't include sending in more weapons.) Now that would have deserved a Peace Prize. But how would that make anyone money? Shipping in a bunch of new weapons to prolong the war is another way to go, I guess...


"No, I won’t get a Nobel Peace Prize no matter what I do,” Trump said. “Including Russia/Ukraine and Israel/Iran, whatever those outcomes may be, but the people know, and that’s all that matters to me!”<---- yeah, right...

And if you believe that, Trump has a low mileage Tesla parked in his back yard to sell to you. ("It's all computer!"--translation: "I don't know how to drive it.") It will only cost you moderately more than he paid for it. (Undoubtedly he knows just the Shylock to finance it for you.)

I give credit to the worthy Mr Forbes for accurately noting the Shakespeare reference.

Also, people who don't know Venice don't realize the key role it played in the development of modern banking.

Bravo zulu, Mr Forbes.

Clown would choke before giving Trump an ounce of credit...
But that's OK......the facts remains... Benny nominated him for the Nobel Peace Price.
And that Archbishop Elpidophoros, head of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America compared President Trump to Constantine the Great...
And Jesus Christ himself said , "“A prophet is not without honor except in his own country”

silly would choke before giving Trump an ounce of criticism...

And that's not OK......the fact remains... any bozo can nominate anyone for a Nobel Peace "Price." A nomination is meaningless. A nomination is not an accomplishment. RECEIVING the prize is an accomplishment. Trump won't be a recipient so who cares what "Benny" (a brutal war criminal) did?

And that Archbishop Elpidophoros, head of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America compared President Trump to a ruthless dictator whose rule also involved brutal suppression of rivals and family members, raising questions about his character and the nature of his power...

And Jesus Christ himself said, “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” How silly can have the audacity to claim Trump deserves a Nobel Peace "Price" for bombing Jesus Christ is a mystery...

Sadly, the prize means little these days.

Obama got it, for Pete's sake.

By the way, an interesting novel is from the unlikely source Irving Wallace, The Prize...

Obviously Trump knows exactly what Shylock means. And he probably used it in private many times. Trump slipped up when he was in Iowa. He just said the quiet part out loud. And Trump's “support” for Israel? Please...it was just some ploy to keep the far right wing evangelicals happy. It was never about supporting Jews.

I suppose that his supporters could really care less about Jews and his ignorance.

Wait, Elkin, first it was claimed Trump was ignorant of Shakepeare, and now you claim it was intentional.

Just which wacky claim are you pushing on this rainy Monday as this humid afternoon winds down?

johnny, obviously Trump is ignorant of it as a Shakespeare reference.

He is only aware of it as an anti-Semitic slur from his days in real estate development, no doubt because he has burned his bridges with every Jewish banker in New York and not one of them will give him a loan any longer.

Jewish bankers will only tolerate so many bankruptcies and then they shut off the tap. "Fool me six times, shame on you...again."
