Shyster and Chutzpah. A Yiddish explainer.

First, the two, in a sentence.

Only a shyster like Trump would have the chutzpah to claim the Israel-Hamas cease fire, hostage release package as his.

That seems like perfectly clear definition right there.

Yes Alina, not even president yet.

"Shyster" is a slang term for someone who acts dishonest-ly, while "chutzpah" is a Yiddish word that means audacity or cheek. You might describe someone as a "shyster" if they are unethical in their work, especially in law, politics, or business. You might describe someone as having "chutzpah" if they are unafraid to do or say things that shock or surprise others.

Yup, that’s our Trump.

And without a beat, our Biden responds in the media too. After his press release about the events, a reporter asked, “Who gets credit for this? You or Trump?”

Biden responded, “Is that a joke?”

Thanks for indulging a second letter today.
