Thats great, and im sure it has a negative meaning, but you are assuming trump knew of THAT meaning. We have no idea. In his mind, it could have been just about shady bankers.It does not seem odd to me. I grew up in WASPVILLE in the USA and since my late teens and into my (sob)
old age, I have worked with a socialized with educated muslims. I not only know how the term is used
in the USA, I know how it is used in the WORLD. The HISTORIC and libel labored history exists in both
christian and muslim cultures---- ABSOLUTELY. I will explain since somehow you missed it. "USURY"
refers to making a profit off INVESTMENT-----generally loans. In both the christian worlds (of the past
2000 years) and the muslim (of the past 1400 years)----the practice thereof was considered a GROSS
JEWISH VICE and actually assigned to jews. It was also used as a libel to justify pogroms and mass
expulsions-------it is a bit complicated since without "interest" the economy cannot GO. Feel free
to ask questions
I only push back because I know how politics works, never pass up the opportunity to demonize your opponent, even if it means taking things out of context.
You may very well be right, but how are yoi going to prove thats what HE meant?
