Trump was asked Friday about his use of the term “Shylock” during his campaign rally in Iowa, when the president said about his domestic policy bill, “Think of that: no death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowings from in some cases a fine banker. And in some cases, Shylocks and bad people.”

The US president used a term some consider a slur while speaking at a rally in Iowa for his America250 celebration.

Jewish advocacy groups slammed President Donald Trump after he used an antisemitic trope to praise the passage of his spending bill.
