Trump Retweets Story About Syrian Promising to Name Son 'Donald'

A Syrian man said that, in honor of President Donald Trump, he would name his son Donald as thanks for the missile attack on Syria's air base, according to The Daily Wire.

Trump himself retweeted the comment, which was among a collection of responses that reporters had gathered from Syrian residents after the U.S. missile attack.

Daily Telegraph reporter Ruth Sherlock posted the original message from Syrian Qusai Zakaraya:

I was on phone with #QusaiZakarya, who survived 2013 #chemical attack, when he learned #Trump action: "I'll name my son Donald. Hero."#Syria

Other comments from Syrians included thanks to Trump from a refugee:

As a Syrian refugee, I never imagined that I'd say this: Thanks @realDonaldTrump for bombing the regime who displaced me, please do more.

Another Syrian, who said he was a massacre survivor, praised the attack.

As a Syrian and Assad chemical weapons massacre survivor I want to thank @POTUS for striking the dictator, you gave us hope god bless u Sir!

On Friday, a Syrian refugee family living in Wilkes-Barre, Pa. also praised the U.S. air strikes.

"Only right now, I . . . really respect Donald Trump," Anas Allouz told TV station WNEP.
