Anti-Defamation League decries Trump's use of ‘centuries-old antisemitic trope' at rally
The Anti-Defamation League on Friday condemned President Donald Trump's use of the term 'Shylock' at a Thursday night rally, saying the president was invoking a 'centuries-old antisemitic trope.' During a campaign-style rally speech in Iowa on Thursday — in which the president basked in his megabill success — Trump touted what he and Republicans have promoted as benefits of the sweeping legislation. 'No death tax. No estate tax. No going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker — and in some cases, shylocks and bad people,' Trump said. The use of the word 'Shylock,' which is viewed as an antisemitic term, prompted immediate outcry from prominent Jewish organizations, including the ADL, which decried Trump's use of the term in a statement posted to X Friday morning. 'The term 'Shylock' evokes a centuries-old antisemitic trope about Jews and greed that is extremely offensive and dangerous. President Trump's use of the term is very troubling and irresponsible,' the statement read. 'Words from our leaders matter and we expect more from the President of the United States.' The Jewish Council for Public Affairs, a progressive organization, also condemned Trump's comments on Friday, saying in a statement that the president's use of the word 'is not an accident.' 'Shylock is among the most quintessential antisemitic stereotypes. This is not an accident. It follows years in which President Trump has normalized antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories — and it's deeply dangerous,' the council's statement read. But Trump has claimed that he did not know the weight the term carried. "I've never heard it that way,' the president told reporters aboard Air Force One early Friday morning. 'To me, Shylock is somebody that's a moneylender at high rates. I've never heard it that way. You view it differently than me.' The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on ADL's statement. The term 'Shylock' originated in the Shakespearean play 'The Merchant of Venice,' in which Shylock is a Jewish character representing stereotypes of greed wielded against Jewish people. In the play, Shylock is an unscrupulous moneylender who demands a pound of flesh from a debtor, painting the Jewish character as villainous and money-hungry. Thursday night's comments aren't the first time Trump has been criticized for playing into antisemitic tropes. Trump ruffled feathers at an event with Jewish donors in 2015 where he appeared to suggest that the group wanted to pay to prop up a puppet in the White House, telling the crowd, 'I don't want your money. You want to control your own politician." He has also derided Jewish Americans who vote for Democrats, suggesting at times it would be a 'great disloyalty' to vote for the other party. The president also came under fire after hosting known white nationalist and antisemitic Holocaust revisionist Nick Fuentes at his Mar-a-Lago residence in 2022. Trump has been vocal about cracking down on what his administration describes as rampant antisemitism in higher education during his second term, making a point of targeting universities where students have held protests against Israel's war in Gaza.

Tesla, Inc. (TSLA): Some People Are 'Gleeful' About Bad Car Sales, Reveals Jim Cramer
We recently published . Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Cramer discusses Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) in nearly every morning appearance. This is partly due to the firm's CEO Elon Musk, whose recent back-and-forth with President Trump has caught media attention. After their first bout last month, Cramer wondered whether Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) could maintain stable stock performance if Trump was displeased with Musk. Cramer also agrees with Musk on the fact that the firm's narrative will be determined by self-driving and humanoid robots instead of vehicle deliveries. In this show, he commented on Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA)'s share performance after Trump and Musk disagreed on the former's legislative efforts: '. . .this is the first time that I've seen this stock get crushed because the President did say that the subsidies, he's [Musk] the most subsidized person in America, alluded to maybe a trip to South Africa. . . Cramer continued to discuss Musk and Trump later in the day on Mad Money: 'Tesla, total dice roll. We have no idea what Elon Musk and the man in the White House, who may be the best name caller,… are going to do. But they sure don't seem like they're on great terms. So my plan is to have the president give Elon the right to have driverless cars on the interstate. I'm calling that plan shelved. But moral? There are usual ways to make a lot of money, but it's really fun to talk about Elon.' While we acknowledge the potential of TSLA as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
