He is ignorant (or a liar)…Take your pick (maybe both?)

Trump pleads IGNORANCE after using antisemitic slur

“President Trump on Friday morning said he was unaware that the word "Shylock" is considered by some to be antisemitic, after using it during a Thursday night rally in Iowa.
What to know: Shylock, the villain of Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice," was written as a greedy and vengeful Jewish moneylender who eventually is forced to convert to Christianity.”

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

The more knowledge we get, the dumber we become. What the actual hell? #RoaldDahl now? Next #Shakespeare probably. That character #Shylock is looking to re-written now, surely?

What on earth??

if you pet me, do you not bleed?
if you feed me, do i not eat?
if you watch me, do i not yawn?
and if you wrong me, shall i not seek revenge?
if you love me while i rest, i will ignore you in that.
