    we all know he’s never read a book in his life.

    That’s what I came to say, too. Not only does he not read, but he’s not smart enough to remember the character nor understand the implications. We know he hasn’t read a lick of Shakespeare. So where the fuck else would he know this term from other than antisemitism?

      Didnt his ex wife say he used to keep a copy of Mein Kampf that he himself said he liked to read because he admitted his speeches. Never read it, so it could be possible the term was learned from that

          That makes sense, apparently I typed admitted instead of admired as well. Never studied his speeches either. While one would think speeches wouldn’t include slurs, hard to say when the writer is going for the whole racial cleansing thing.

        Possible, but if there’s one thing that’s been shown about Trump during his life in the media, it’s that he has a near encyclopedic knowledge of all the racist slurs. He pulls out some real obscure ones, and that was even before he even ran for office.

          On the other hand, Trump plead ignorance, and I would never bet against his ignorance.

          And, if he did know the slur, I’d be surprised that we haven’t heard it until now. As you know, he’s not shy about saying them.
