The utterly simplistic language of it all. 🙄🙄🙄
"in a big way", "it will be your win"
It's ridiculous
Too many MAGA assholes and bootlickers out there, good for Canada and Spain to show them the middle finger
This make me feels somewhat awkward.
My sense at this point is that grotesque flattery works on Trump, but only to a point. Trump doesn't really like anyone, the best you can do is a slightly-better-than-neutral relationship. (And at the other end he's willing to coexist with anyone who hasn't personally slighted him, like Kim Jong Un)
Career politicians doing what they do best, kissing their boss ass.
Anyone else remember when libs were fearmongering that Trump will leave NATO and leftists said "don't threaten me with a good time"?
I'm not sure what you're getting at.
Liberals are right-wing. Always have been, always will be.
Dutch liberals are not under the progressive umbrella,
so while the Dutch progressive party is advocating to stop the war,
Dutch liberals are in full support of it.

Does Trump not realize that this message makes himself look bad?
No. The message here is "look at how I´m having my dick sucked"

I mean, he also paints himself orange and thinks it's hot...
the one looking bad is the one kissing his ass, he is pretty much saying "look at your secretary general kissing my ass 😂 "
How does it make him look bad?
It's clear Mark Rutte is talking to Trump like he's talking to a child. He's buttering Trump up because it's clear superficial gestures are enough to please him.
It does reflect positively on the influence of America, but not on Trump himself.

World leaders have figured out he's functionally a toddler. Starmer and Trudeau took the same approach.
This can't be real
Real tweet, fake text... no way any NATO leader would say "Europe is going to pay BIG" it's just too Trump. Same with the incessant comma splices.
But big congrats to Trump for ruining the information space so completely that I genuinely cannot tell what's real anymore.
This is Mark Rutte.
He would totally say “Europe is going to pay in a BIG way” to flatter Trump.
Incessant comma splices is I guess typically Dutch and indicative to the way Rutte talks. I sometimes do it too.
He's a liberal, making him almost as right-wing as Ursula von der Leyen, not a social democrat
or a democratic socialist or left of that.
Hasn't Rutte always been known for being able to handle Trump well? I'm pretty sure the only way to do that is kiss his ass in a way he understands, so this doesn't seem too surprising.

I'm sure EVERY European politician randomly CAPITALISES words like some LUNATIC
It's Mark Rutte. He certainly would write it like this.

Communication is most effective in the language of receiver. Rutte emulates Trump like ChatGPT.
This is so poorly written I have no idea if it's sarcasm or not.
It's written in a way for Trump to understand

I’ve have said this before but WW3 will start because of a meme or ChatGPT.
By the way Rutte changed the wording in the agreement to be more vague as to what 'allies' means because Spain refused to agree to 5%.
