Is anyone else very tired?

Eric Trump appeared on Fox and Friends to praise his dad's response to Hurricane Florence (which hasn't even made landfall yet) and rail on Democrats. In between his complaints about straw bans and Maxine Waters, Trump also attacked Bob Woodward's new book about the administration as "sensational nonsense."

Then he casually dropped an anti-Semitic comment and not a single one of the Fox and Friends hosts even reacted.

"CNN will have you on there because they love to trash the president," Trump ranted. "You'll mean you sell three extra books, you make three extra shekels, I mean at the behest of the American people ..."

ERIC TRUMP attacks Democrats: "Anti-law enforcement, high taxes, and elimination of plastic straws is not a message that will win in November."

While no one on the set with him called him out for his remark, people online were quick to point out how messed up the comment was.

What the actual fuck.



Textbook antisemitism. From the president's son. On Fox News. In 2018. https://t.co/2A9GwgzNi1 — Amy Spiro (@AmySpiro) September 12, 2018

The word for Israeli currency is also a favorite of 4chan and other racist boards. The Daily Stormer, a white supremacist neo-Nazi Holocaust denial site, frequently uses "shekel" to describe anti-Semitic conspiracy theories.

Unless you're either literally in Israel or spending a lot of time in these alt-right spaces, it's pretty unlikely that you'll even use "shekel" in your daily vocabulary.

Um, wow. The only people who refer to being paid off as wanting "extra shekels" are Israelis speaking Hebrew and anti-Semites speaking English outside Israel. Eric Trump doesn't speak Hebrew, so you know exactly who he has been reading online. https://t.co/evuub9L1xV — (((Yair Rosenberg))) (@Yair_Rosenberg) September 12, 2018

Outrageous. If you want to see how the neo-Nazis use the term "shekels" take a quick glance at The Daily Stormer. Eric Trump’s ‘three extra shekels’ attack on Bob Woodward is not some accident any more than Hillary Clinton's image over a Star of David. https://t.co/DyJTcqyX4H — (((JonathanWeisman))) (@jonathanweisman) September 12, 2018

Straight from 4chan. If it was a tweet, it would read, "(((Woodward))) wrote this book to make three extra shekels." Dogs are barking. — Jeff Keeran (@jeff_off37) September 12, 2018

(((sheckles))) ... Dude has been spending too much time on 4chan and stormfront — Rusty Shackleford (@LordShackleford) September 12, 2018

4chan users freaked out when they realized what Trump said on TV.

Many Twitter users spoke out against Trump's very public anti-Semitic remark, but some also pointed out that the president's son doesn't seem to know what "behest" means.

Everyone’s focusing on the shekels comment and missing Eric’s sad lunge and miss at college-level English vocabulary https://t.co/VhbuaNYx4F — David Frum (@davidfrum) September 12, 2018

Merriam-Webster defines "behest" as "an authoritative order" or "an urgent prompting." Trump basically said that the American people wanted Woodward's book — which by the way, comes out today.
