[HERALDNET] Hassan Jamil’s love affair with Donald Trump began in the thick of the American presidential campaign, when he found himself glued to his television screen on the other side of the world each night, transfixed by the billionaire’s “beautiful” hair, commanding presence and magnetic speaking style.Jamil, who doesn’t speak English, couldn’t understand the Republican nominee’s words but said it didn’t matter. The candidate’s forceful cadence told him everything he needed to know.
The night Trump clinched the presidency, Jamil made a decision that took his pregnant wife by surprise.
“I decided that if my wife gave birth to a boy, I would 100 percent name him Trump,” he said.
Two weeks later, on Nov. 23, Hassan’s wife gave birth not only to a baby boy but also to what appears to be a burgeoning Kurdish legend.
His name: Trump Jamil Hassan – a.k.a. “Little Trump.”
Jamil, a 25-year-old father of three and Kurdish peshmerga fighter, said he was proud of his decision. “What I like most and admire about Donald Trump is that he’s a confident man and a successful businessman. He became a leader because he has self-confidence, otherwise he wouldn’t be president.”
