Eric Trump Slams Bob Woodward Book as a Way to Make "Three Extra Shekels"
Source: Jewish Telegraph Agency
(JTA) Eric Trump called journalist Bob Woodwards new book about the White House sensational nonsense that Woodward wrote in order to make make three extra shekels.
President Donald Trumps son made the remarks, which references Israels currency, in a Wednesday interview on Fox & Friends.
The modern Israeli currency is named after currency referenced in the Bible. Shekels is also an American and Irish term slang for money, showing up in old potboilers like Mickey Spillanes I, The Jury: Generally a runner made plenty for himself, taking a chance that the dough he clipped wasnt on the number that pulled in the shekels.
But on some anti-Semitic corners of the web, like the anti-Semitic site The Daily Stormer, it is often used sarcastically to refer to Jewish greed or influence.

SergeStorms
(19,204 posts)or is it on one of the Omarosa tapes, that Daddy Donnie referred to his own son, Eric, as the "r" word? He wasn't referring to Republican, either. Really nice when your Dad thinks you're retarded. News flash Eric, your father can't stand you either.

Even though Woodward is not Jewish.
Eric got his message out.

Well, if someone is a racist, it's not a leap of faith to assume they're a fucking moron, too.

(90,865 posts)But obviously our alt-right/homegrown Nazi vermin have dusted it off and repurposed it the way they've repurposed the A-OK gesture into a gang sign.
In this context, anything that references Jews or Judaism is an anti-Semitic slur. My guess is this "shekels" thing is a dog-whistle for "Jews control the media" and "you're being paid by Jews."

Trump confuses his supporters. Pro or anti-Jew?

(24,342 posts)It was used when I was really young (late 60's and early 70's). By the late 70's it was dying. I don't remember it being used by anyone since then (except the extremely elderly once in a while)
The trump brats have no excuse for using it.

(50,567 posts)Eric Trump would sell his own mother for three extra shekels. At least Woodward came upon them honestly...by writing a book people are buying the hell out of, about America's worst crime family.
Is it true what I hear that the Five Families are about to become Six Families? You got your Bonanno, Colombo, Gambino, Genovese, Luchese and Trump. And of the six, the Trump family is the worst of them all.

Bob Woodward's 'Fear' Is One of the Top Selling Books of the Year The Washington Post reporter's book on the Trump White House sold over 750,000 copies in its first day on sale. According to Barnes & Noble, it has the fastest sales for an adult title since Harper Lee's 'Go Set a Watchman' was released in July 2015. On Amazon, 'Fear' has outsold all but three books so far this year, almost entirely thanks to pre-orders. Publisher Simon & Schuester said Wednesday it has ordered a ninth printing of the book. This brings the total number of hard copies in print to 1,150,000. In addition to the United States, 'Fear' is also No. 1 on online charts in Canada, the UK and Germany.
