I just spoke with “Mr. Kurd.”
His name is Rahim Rashidi, he works for Kurdistan TV, and he is thrilled.
“I love it!” he said of Trump. “He made me happy by this sentence.”

American moonbats offended.
President Trump used an ethnic term to refer to a reporter at Wednesday’s press conference — to the consternation of the U.S. press corps but the delight of the reporter in question.
“Yes, please, Mr. Kurd, go ahead,” he said at the United Nations in New York while calling on a journalist, who was later identified by New York Times media writer Michael M. Grynbaum as Rahim Rashidi.
While several U.S. journalists wrote deadpan tweets in incredulity, Mr. Rashidi saw things differently, according to Mr. Grynbaum.
“I just spoke with ‘Mr. Kurd.’ His name is Rahim Rashidi, he works for Kurdistan TV, and he is thrilled. ‘I love it!’ he said of Trump. ‘He made me happy by this sentence.’”
