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.
I hate to give the guy a pass, but to be fair, I wasn’t aware that was a slur (or even a word). If anything, it sounds more like a homophobic term.
Edit: yeah, actually that’s a hard one to right a pass on.
Edited comment weird. My original comment just had the quote from the article where Trump said he didn’t know that was a slur. I replaced that quote with the full original Trump quote, with the edit (but left the original middle piece from my original comment)
(Edit) Full quote from rally:

If you know the word, then you know it’s a slur. His history of antisemitic statements guarantees he knew what it meant.

In the context of bankers and borrowing, your read is that “shylock” here refers to gay people?
