There were some gasps and raised eyebrows from Twitter after President Trump on Wednesday called upon a reporter during a news conference using the name “Mr. Kurd.” Rahim Rashidi is not among the aghast, and his opinion matters more than most: He’s Mr. Kurd. As the Washington Post reports, Rashidi, a Kurdish journalist who reports for Kurdistan 24, wanted to ask Trump about US relations with the Kurds, some 30 million stateless people who live across Iran, Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, and have helped the US in the fight against ISIS. Trump said to him, “Yes, please, Mr. Kurd. Go ahead.” Rashidi, frankly, was thrilled.
“I loved it, because all the time our identity is ignored by the Turkish government, by the Iranian government,” he tells the Post. “We are proud of our struggle for democracy, for justice, for freedom. He made me so happy when he called me Mr. Kurd. It was a moment of respect for us, for me.” Indeed, the Post notes that when it telephoned Rashidi late Wednesday, he picked up the phone with a new greeting: “Hello, this is Mr. Kurd.”
Can you imagine the gasps in that muslim crowd if he’d called on someone as “MR Christian?”
Trump is a champion for freedom.
The Kurds have and continue to sacrifice and fight for freedom.
Yet our supposed NATO ally Turkey continues to murder Kurds.
The Iraqis, Syrians and Russia continue their attacks to annihilate the Kurds.
Bravo Mr. President !
Dear MSM,
As Col Nathan Jessep (AKA Jack Nicholson) would say
I don’t give a damn what you think you are entitled to. In other words: STFU
“Hello, this is Mr. Kurd.”
Can you imagine the gasps and raised eyebrows at WaPo?
“Next question, from Somalia, Mr Shithole…”
“OK, Muzzie bastard, go ahead.”
Next time, he should call on Jim Acosta “Mr. Turd”.
Trump is indeed a natural.
