“U.S. President Donald Trump drew criticism for using the antisemitic term ‘Shylock’ to describe some bankers during remarks on his signature tax-cut and spending legislation that just passed Congress.
‘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,’ he said during remarks in Iowa late on Thursday. … Asked about his use of the term on his return to Washington, Trump said he did not know its connotations.” (07/04/25)
