Antisemite Denies Being Antisemitic
A Series On Misinformation, Disinformation and Subterfuge
Headline.
Bogus.
Trump with a measured vocabulary equivalent to that of an average fourth grader, doesn’t suddenly get to use a shiny new word, within the applied context of antisemitic ‘corrupt’ Jewish bankers, use that to demean US bankers, then say he, a son of a Klansman, did not know he was an antisemite.
The harmful term comes from William Shakespeare, during a time when most banking in Europe was dominated by those of Jewish faith. The dotard was immediately rebuked for his again, repeated, racist slur.
Trump is deeply racist, a point most of his base supporters haven’t learned. He also hates those of lower economic classes even more than he does those that don’t look like him—explaining politically why it was necessary for them to pay the most, in order for higher wage earners to reap the most benefit out of the Big Beautiful Bill slashing Medicaid, Medicare, Food Stamps, and more.
Back in the 70s, Richard Nixon’s administration sued Trump for housing discrimination. He and his dad Fred, refused to rent specifically to blacks, outlasting the suit by promising to change (but didn’t) then linking up to Russian mobster lawyer Roy Cohn during the second attempt to get him to not be who he is.
Trump’s slur isn’t an isolated one-time slip up. It’s been a lifelong pattern of his saying these racist things, using Nazi symbols, having Musk, a Nazi-party endorsing racist himself on his DOGE team destroying America, and of course getting a free pass each and every time from the rightwing press.
So no, Trump KNEW what he was saying was antisemitic. That was his point—to use the slur, provoke a response and to get the press to talk about that and not how he set up the Dems for blame when his delayed cuts that harm his voters the most blow out rural hospitals, socialist food and healthcare support.
