He’s a ‘business’ man and lived in NYC the majority of his life. His father was a racist. He knows damn well what the word means and who is used against.
Let's say he didn't know it was a slur (which I don't believe for a moment). Do we really think that, once he knows, he won't use it anymore? No. By virtue of saying "to me it means..." he's telling us he'll use it however he wants because he makes the rules. If/when he uses it in public again, he'll point at reporters and say, "They hate it when I say that." Just like he always does.
The problem I have is that, despite the noticeable rise in antisemitism since Trump’s ride down the escalator in 2015, Trump’s Jewish supporters will continue to support him, especially financially.
Remember, Trump won in 2016 due to money from the Adelsons.
And Elise Stefanik’s silence is just further proof of her hypocrisy.
Thank you for the background on the word. As a native NYer, I had no clue. Now, I’m giving the side-eye to the creator of the comic strip “Slylock Fox.”

"Shylock" himself. He wants ALL our flesh, not just a pound. In high school, we read "The Merchant of Venice." I never cared much for Shakespeare.
I love King Lear.
I prefer the Akira Kurosawa version, "Ran."

Sad.
Heil Trump o/
As a non-practicing Jew, I need protection FROM Trump, not BY Trump.
I think your column is wonderful, Kahlil. And yes, the guy is rotten to the bone.
Did you know about the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal on Gaza? I posted on my long form about the genocide.
We all know that he is a lying bastard who only loves himself! The magats will let him off the hook and blame liberals for his remarks!
He's such a lying pig!
The so-called stable can’t read. What should we expect?
I left out the word genius …
He’s ignorant
Thank you for addressing antisemitism.

Trump became a pawn to the Jewish way before he got into hollywood… and that's why he got that TV show… he is owned.
Seriously doubt he comprehended English class…
