Gjakova, Kosovo - When Hysni Rexha from
Kosovo finally made his dream happen and took four wolves from
the wild to feed and raise them he had no doubts over how to
name one of them. He called it Trump.
“I have some other wolves but this one has a lot of energy
in everything and he is very smart,” Rexha, who likes to be
called a holistic vet, told Reuters from his small farm in
western Kosovo.
Rexha, who puts his hand in the mouths of his wolves, has
named himself an Alfa Wolf and made Trump his deputy.
“I admire (President) Trump, he has a lot of energy, he
gives orders, he is a brave man, that’s why I named my wolf
because he does the same things. He does not do what others do;
he has his own style and does his mission.”

He also has chickens, pigeons, horses, cows, an
eagle and peacocks.
In a survey by Gallup International this month about how
people rate the performance of United States government
officials, Kosovo was ranked first in the world with 75 percent
of Kosovars approving of Donald Trump's administration.
Washington is Kosovo’s strongest ally politically and
economically.

Many people in Kosovo have named their sons Klinton to show
respect for former president Bill Clinton, who played the key
role in the 1999 NATO intervention against Serbia which cleared
the way for Kosovo’s declaration of independence.
Clinton is also the name of a boulevard in the capital
Pristina and another one is called George W Bush.
“The Unites States was the biggest supporter during the
war...I had no other way how to thank the US but to name my
wolf as Trump. I see Trump as a wolf and my wolf as Trump,”
Rexha said.
