Maarten Sneep@Sustainable2050 Volgens mij hadden er zijwieltjes op de fiets moeten zitten. @Trouw
Eric Plankeel@mrtnsnp @Sustainable2050 @Trouw Ik denk dat een driewieler van framebouwer #VanRaam beter geschikt zou zijn.
@plankje55 Ik wil gebruikers van de mooie #VanRaam fietsen niet stigmatiseren. (leren fietsen doe je beter zonder zijwieltjes). @Sustainable2050 @Trouw
Frank Heijkamp@mrtnsnp @Sustainable2050 @Trouw Dat zou natuurlijk veel te DEI zijn, de hijwieltjes zijn hier van toepassing.
rhempel@Sustainable2050 @Trouw Maybe give him one with just the seat post ...
gluttoIt would have to be a two-seater, with one seat being for a child with no pedals or steering. Don't expect this guy to provide any effort himself.
Erik Wesselius@Sustainable2050 Ik zou liever zien dat Trump in juni niet naar Den Haag komt.
Absinthe
Stacey Campbell@Sustainable2050 @Trouw The Qataris successfully unloaded their super-tacky white elephant 747 that has been for sale for years, that nobody wanted, and the idiot Trump believed it to be a valuable gift.
A typical Dutch bike has enormous utility, will last forever, has incredible style. Surely there must be something in the Netherlands that is completely unwanted but Trump will think is highly valued? It will not be a Dutch bicycle.
Nicole ParsonsThe Netherlands will be under several feet of sea water if Trump's fossil fuel donors continue to have their way.

Kobold@Sustainable2050 @Trouw The bike lacks training wheels.
Robin Barton@Sustainable2050 @Trouw I hope it is extra sturdy
Tadeusz Sikora@Sustainable2050 @Trouw It must be famous Tyre Force One
Andrew SingletonI genuinely would want t osee that happen.
Solid gold plated grandma bike. Hell. could make a special one out of titanium instead of the usual steel.
And it would be spun as a comment on trump's physical shape when literally 'this is how a lot of people in the netherlands get around. we want you to have one.'
Cluster Fcku@Sustainable2050 @Trouw At the upcoming NATO Summit, should the Dutch offer Trump a bike rather than a 747?
At the 1997 EU summit, European leaders had to bike from the meeting hall to lunch
German chancellor, Helmut Kohl, refused, shouting: "I am not a monkey!" The Finnish president, Martti Ahtisaari, almost as bulky, had to be supported by aides. The newly elected Tony Blair turned it into a race, so he could demonstrate Britain was once more "leading in Europe".

Bryan@Sustainable2050 @Trouw regrettably this is a much better deal than that plane

Ianto Jones@Sustainable2050 @Trouw only if they plan to wield the bike as a blunt instrument and beat him with it.
CyclesSmiles@Sustainable2050 @Trouw een driewieler lijkt me wel veiliger, voor iedereen..
Een Hase, goud gespoten. Of een ICE trike

Mr. Bruno 
@Sustainable2050 @Trouw Gift him a tricycle. That's more his speed. Or a bike with training wheels.

Maybe he'll ride it into a canal.

WilWould you gift YOUR 79 yr old family member a bike?
Interestingly tangible the amount of hate partaking in a group that also would laugh when the man gets publicly his eyes poked out
Eerily people find themselves viciously on stratospheric levels to wish mayhem and harm to not only him.
The idea would be that if another 1 billion ppl wish the same it would be okay right?
Trump stays away from activities where evil wishers would want him to be when falling off a π²
@weejeebee @Sustainable2050 @Trouw I would not need to give my 79 yo a bike. They would have it. And use it. And maintain it.
@KFvMalssen certainly there are elderly people biking and maintaining flexibility and fysique to bike.
But the majority of 75+ppl are below that high baseline and any 79yo falling off bc of mistakes of others in traffic hard enough where a 40yo is just bruised up for a couple of days ...most 79yolds would probably break a bone or hip ...and once in that situation it's hard to climb up again.
Hail to any 79yo that can and feel strong enough to ride a bike, but it's a smaller group able to do it
gnomeoffender@Sustainable2050 @Trouw can't wait to see the cheap plate dinner he'll get either. Make him sit through some genocide videos of rich people victims.

@Sustainable2050 @Trouw As the British/cockney's would say "ON YOUR BIKE!"
sandor@Sustainable2050 @Trouw the best Dutch gift to Trump would be eating him. You are your prime minister once, you can do it again with an orange. π
Jimmy@Sustainable2050 @Trouw Needs to be an expensive, fancy bike. Trump will love his new toy and turn into a poser.
Jigme Datse@Sustainable2050 @Trouw I'm sorry, that would be a bribe (or something)...
Harald@Sustainable2050 @Trouw There is a third wheel missing.
Tushar Chauhan@Sustainable2050 @Trouw The roads here make it more dangerous than a plane.
