An Afghan journalist with – gasp! – an Afghan accent asked Trump a question and his response was a hall of fame jaw-dropper
No end of extraordinary things to come out of Donald Trump’s latest press conference of course, in which he basically said the US was taking over the Gaza Strip.
And this was far from the most important moment, but it was still a proper jaw-dropper which spoke volumes – as if you needed to hear any more – about the man back in the White House.
It’s a question at the press conference from an Afghan journalist who – gasp! – had an Afghan accent and, well, best have a watch for yourself (sound up!)
Reporter: You have any plan to change Afghanistan's situation? Are you able to recognize Taliban?
Trump: It’s a beautiful voice and a beautiful accent. The only problem is I can't understand a word you're saying, but. But I just say this. Good luck. Live in peace. pic.twitter.com/lWyq4fuplm

The reporter asking the question is White House journalist Nazira Karimi who has been a fixture in Washington DC for many years, according to reports.
And here are a few of the many things people said about the exchange.

This is the craziest press conference I've ever witnessed, and that says a lot. https://t.co/5hmaDn0Si5

Now that's just shameful I was afraid I wouldn't be able to understand the accent either, but it's not bad at all.

This wasn't a press conference, it was more like something out of the twilight zone.
