💨 Abstract
President Donald Trump defended his use of the term "shylock," which is considered antisemitic, by claiming he wasn't aware of its offensive connotations. This term, from Shakespeare’s "The Merchant of Venice," has historically been used to stereotype Jews as greedy moneylenders. The Anti-Defamation League condemned Trump's remark, stating it reinforces dangerous antisemitic tropes.
