Trump says the press smeared Roger Marshall as "a shylock type guy"

No, he knows he's from New York so he knows it's just that. 10 years ago his brain wasn't mush and he was able to restrain it publicly now he has no more inhibitions because his dementia is getting worse and worse

i agree he doesn't know the Shakespeare origin but as he used the term he certainly knows it. he used the term correctly in the sense that Rogers was going after his pound of flesh no matter the harm. and yes, Trump has been antisemitic for decades, but he is just getting worse in every respect.

remember when he apologized for saying this word before and clearly learned why it's wrong

White supremacists use these slurs regularly. No pause, no correcting, just said it naturally and went on. Bigotry and hate is part of their circle. No surprise after the group chat was leaked.

Where are the democrats in Kansas campaigning for Hamilton? Where are the Clintons? Where is Obama? Where are the party leaders? WTF. We have a generational chance to win Kansas and they are MIA.

Let's consider the possibility that Donald Trump doesn't know that Shylock is a Jewish character from Shakespeare and only thinks of the word as mob slang for a loan shark? Which is more likely - that he knows Shakespeare or that he knows mob slang?

No, not that one. Romeo & Juliet, Taming of the Shrew, Hamlet, Midsummer Night’s Dream & Julius Caesar are the Shakespeare I most recall from class. I know we did another couple of comedies, but we didn’t do that one.

Had to look it up🤷‍♀️ Antisemitic Connotation: Because the term derives from the stereotype of the greedy Jewish moneylender in Shakespeare's play, using "shylock" to describe a person or business practice is widely considered an offensive antisemitic slur

The slur is repugnant, but the underlying message is also a lie. There is no law that says you have to collect all of the debt you are owed. He had a private practice. If he wants to forgive debt, he can. If he wants to not charge interest, have at it.

Where are the republicans calling democrats antisemitic JFC he must be dragged out of the white house i fucking can't take much more

Shakespearean bigotry is a lil high brow for him must’ve heard it from his gutter trash degenerate family/colleagues

The elderly bigot, who just found out at age 80 that the word "dumb" has a B on the end, likely did not even realize that he uttered an antisemitic slur because it's been part of his vernacular for his whole life.

Aside from his heinous, antisemitic quote, he made up an absurd fairy tale that Marshall was "mandated by Law to request money owed from patients” and that “If he didn’t make these requests, he would be breaking the Law, and subject to criminal liability and arrest.”

Yeah, and Biden was talking about banks, not Jewish people and wasn't aware of the slur being kind of universally seen as about Jewish people. I mean, I believe his explanation because he was dense like that.

I don’t believe there is a law that requires a physician to pursue payment and charge 18% interest. I just don’t believe that.

Not even sure Trump knows it's racist. He probably thinks it stands for a greedy person. Even if you pointed it out, he would say that he can say it cause he has Jewish friends. They're the good kind of Jewish person and not a liberal Hamas loving radical like Schumer.

No antisemitism at the heart of Trumpismo. None at all. Reason infinity why the Netanyahu wing of American Jewry are being played for suckers. They are instruments for Trump’s ends, ne an end in themselves

It’s like when Radiohead gives in and plays Creep, really reaching back to the classics

Simply amazing. As the GOP accused the Dems of being antisemitic the Republican POTUS in his babbling nonsense says that... today the GOP will twist selves into pretzels defending statement as they always do

"He was mandated by law to request - strongly - money owed by patients. You're not allowed NOT to do it. You have to, by law, go after those people." What "law" is he referring to? Is there an actual law that compels a doctor to dun patients who are behind on payments, or did he just make that up?

Of course there is no law that requires a doctor to go after patients who owe them money. I worked for a doctor. We wiped the slate clean all the time. He’s a lying liar, but what else is new. He’s throwing in his hatred of Jews, but that’s also not new. Was there any racism on the menu?

There was some guy on here with a long thread about how Jews in Michigan are going to vote for Rogers due to concerns about Sayed. So, these are the people you want in charge? These are the people you're going to get in bed with? Mm hmm. Okay. So let's think on that.
