Trump and Mark Rutte really is the most famous celebrity couple of our time.
@randahl At this point I assume Rutte is only staying in that role to further boost the sales potential of some biography deal he's got set up for when he finally quits/gets fired out of nowhere by tweet.
@randahl Teflon Mark should represent the interest of all NATO countries, not just the USA. I can’t wait until we replace US with UA within NATO.
@randahl Ah, the Lying Dutchman is at it again, simping for a wannabe dictator, who made it clear several times what he thinks of Europe and the rest of NATO. What an embarrassment! 🙁
@randahl As a Dutch citizen, I feel ashamed of Rutte’s actions. I can somewhat understand why he is doing all this (to keep NATO together). But it would have been wiser if he had kept his dignity and said, “I will not take part in this,” and stepped down.

@randahl Yeah, this does not look good.

But thinking about it "out of the box", perhaps the only way forward in any communication or interaction with americans is just lie. Lie our asses off to get what we as Europeans want. It seems it's the new norm.

@randahl

This (Rutte) is the guy who screwed over immigrant families in the Child Benefits Scandal. Maybe Trump saw something in that that he admired.

I hate to think what Rutte admires in the other direction.

@randahl Rutte looks more like a Trump cheerleader than a NATO Secretary General.
@randahl I don't know what to think of Rutte. I thought he was being the good cop in the relations between US and EU. But to go that far is quite something.
