BREAKING: Trump Pays Sickening Price For What Just Happened To Little Boy Named After Him
We have now gotten reports a father in Afghanistan
has caused strained relations with his family after naming his now-18-month-old
son Donald Trump, according to a report by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty.
The report says the boy was born with light hair in
the country’s central Daykundi Province while US President Donald Trump was
running for office.
The boy’s father, Sayed Assadullah, told RFE/RL that
he named his son Donald Trump because he was a fan of the president’s writing,
as well his business and political work. And because he hoped the name would
bring his son succeed in life. But the decision to give the boy a non-Islamic
name is said to have angered relatives enough to prompt Assadullah to have to
move with his immediate family to Kabul.
In spite of all this backlash, Assadullah has high
hopes for his son. In an interview, he said Donald Trump has a lot of special
qualities. He’s very capable, he’s serious, and he’s a good politician with
excellent skills as a writer. Assadullah said in the video that was translated
that he believes Trump is a really good person and has written a lot of
impressive books. “Because Trump is a successful businessman, we decided to
name our son Donald Trump.”
The Sun reports:
“The family of a young boy from Afghanistan have said
their lives are ruined after his superfan parents named him Donald Trump.
Born in September 2016 as his namesake was running
for President of the United States, the 18-month-old was named by his father
because of his admiration of the tycoon.
This Donald Trump is the third child of Jamila and
Sayed Assadullah in Shahristan District, and was in the central Afghan province
of Daikundi.
Sayed comes from a poor farming family but earned a
college degree, read Trump’s books and watched him on television.
He told The New York Times that he hoped naming his
son after a famous real estate developer and television star would “rub off” on
the child’s fortunes.
But the naming has had the opposite effect, and has
only added to the family’s misfortunes.
Sayed says the decision to give the child a
non-Muslim name angered his relatives so much that the family no longer felt
welcome in their village in Daikundi, and moved to a rental home in Kabul.
He added: “When I named my son Donald Trump, they
were not happy.
“They told me, ‘How you can select the name of an
infidel for your son?’”
The naming of the young Donald Trump had been private
even after they moved to Kabul, but a copy of the child’s national ID
circulated on social media recently and Sayed believes it was put out by employees
of the population registration department without his permission.
Sayed says when he went to the government office
responsible for verifying IDs from other provinces, he was treated with
disrespect and threatened to be sent to Afghan intelligence agency for
questioning – just for naming his son Donald Trump.
“The employees of the department saw the name and
they asked me, ‘What is this? Donald Trump?’ I said ‘yes, is there any
problem?’”
Sayed says they looked at him in a strange way and
called him “culture-less” for naming his son after the US President.
While critics have said the family gave their son the
controversial name for attention, Sayed said they never intended for their
child’s identity to be so public.”
This is just so sad. It’s understandable that people
are upset because their candidate of choice lost in 2016. Just like many of us
were upset when former President Barack Hussein Obama won in 2008. But doesn’t there
come a time when people just need to get over it and continue with their lives?
Just like most of us did when our candidate lost in 2008 and 2012? Especially
when it comes to a small child and his name?

“The country is in the throes of a major epidemic,
with no known cure and some pretty scary symptoms. It’s called Trump
Derangement Syndrome, or TDS, and it’s rapidly spreading from the point of
origin – the political class – to the population at large.
In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all
sense of proportion. The president-elect’s every tweet provokes a firestorm, as
if 140 characters were all it took to change the world.
Trump set up a single phone call with Taiwan’s president,
and suddenly TDS patients were insisting that our “One China” policy was no
more. But the reality is that telephonic communication isn’t the same thing as
official diplomatic recognition. Besides, in their eagerness to highlight
Trump’s alleged recklessness, the president-elect’s critics misunderstand our
policy. “One China” means that we don’t recognize Taiwan as a sovereign country
or China’s sovereignty over Taiwan. We’ve never considered Taiwan a mere
province, and the Taiwan Relations Act obligates us to defend the island
against attack.
In the advanced stages of the disease, the afflicted
lose touch with reality. Opinion is unmoored from fact.
The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on
the victim’s vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole. Politico recently ran a piece that noted Trump’s
supposedly unprecedented decision to continue using his private security force,
which provoked former independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin to tweet:
“A predictable move for a kleptocratic authoritarian who wants to operate
outside the bounds of law and basic ethical standards. Even more troubling, he
may use the force’s lack of government oversight & presidential veneer to
carry-out extralegal acts of force.”
It’s quite a stretch to suggest that a desire to keep
trusted lieutenants is actually a sinister plot to create a version of the
brownshirts, but such illogical leaps are the pathway to the next stage of TDS:
a state of constant hysteria.
Especially when discussing Trump’s views on
immigration, hysterical TDS victims assume there’s no difference between the
president-elect’s rhetoric (get out!) and his proposed policy (deporting known
criminals who are in this country illegally). As Reince Priebus, Trump’s chief
of staff, put it: “He’s not calling for mass deportation. He said, ‘No, only
people who have committed crimes.’ And then only until all of that is taken
care of will we look at what we are going to do next.”
As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to
distinguish fantasy from reality. Despite Trump’s expressed desire to “work
something out” for the so-called Dreamers – those brought here as very young
children – Trump’s critics continue to harp on this issue. Immigration advocate
Frank Sharry, executive director of America’s Voice, who has a very bad case of
TDS, inadvertently revealed this mind set when he said: “Before anyone falls
into the trap of believing that Trump is ‘softening’ on immigration, they
should remember that we’ve seen this movie before.”
A movie, eh?
In the advanced stages of the disease, the afflicted
lose touch with reality. Opinion is unmoored from fact. Life resembles a dark
fairy tale in which the villain – Trump – is an amalgam of all the worst
tyrants in history, past and present, while the heroes –Trump’s critics – are
akin to the resistance fighters of World War II.
TDS victims routinely compare Trump to Hitler: Time
magazine ran an opinion piece that asked “Just how similar is Donald Trump to
Hitler?” The answer: “The comparison between Hitler and Trump is so poignant”
because “both men represent their personal character as the antidote to all
social and political problems.”
Since Hitler has been dead for more than 70 years,
though, victims may feel the need for a more potent bogeyman, a tyrant with
more currency. And they’ve found one in Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom
they insist ordered a hacking campaign to help Trump win the election.
The other day, Tucker Carlson of Fox News interviewed
TDS-riddled Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank). Carlson asked for evidence that
Putin’s alleged machinations had any effect on the election. Unable to come up
with a coherent answer, Schiff morphed into J. Edgar Hoover: “You’re carrying
water for the Kremlin,” he said, “you’re going to have to move your show to
‘Russia Today.’”
If you ask a TDS victim what might help them feel
better, they’ll use the word “normalize.” As in, we mustn’t “normalize” Trump.
What they’re really saying is that normal means of dealing with him aren’t
enough. Which raises the question: If he’s another Hitler, if he’s in league
with Putin, then why is assassination out of the question? Poke a TDS victim
and you’ll find they don’t think that “solution” is out of the question at all.
This is the final stage of the TDS epidemic: violence
against a democratically elected leader. Unless a cure for TDS is found, this
is where we are headed.
