"You know, they love me in the Netherlands."

[Cattledog]

In his upcoming memoir, newly appointed Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G. Bunch III describes the private tour he gave President Trump of the National Museum of African American History and Culture, recalling that Trump’s reaction to the Dutch role in the global slave trade was, “You know, they love me in the Netherlands.”

3. Trump has to constantly feed his fragile Ego with LIES!

7. Exactly.

Does he really believe this stuff or does he just want to believe it because he cannot stand the fact that he is the most hated man on the planet. The Dutch despise him, as do most Europeans. What is this bizarre little fantasy world that he lives in? I honestly do not think there is one person in the world that genuinely likes this man as a person.

5. Before the president-elect arrived....

his aides told Bunch that Trump was in a foul mood and that he did not want to see anything 'difficult'.

6. No,

9. The current leader of the Netherlands is a rightwing populist.

So I am guessing the current government of the Netherlands does love 45.

12. No he is not

Mark Rutte, the Dutch PM, is a Liberal conservative. Right of center but certainly not a right wing populist. The Dutch government does not love Trump, on the contrary.

[AJT]

13. The VVD, Rutte's party is tied with the FfD for seats.

The FfD is lead by Thierry Baudet who is an anti-immigrant rightwing populist. It's going to be tough going for Rutte. The VVD is a conservative party in the Netherlands, but compared to our parties it is very liberal.

[Jeroen]

14. Thierry Baudet is indeed a RWP

The FvD however, is in opposition, not in 'coalition' with the current Dutch Government ( VVD, CDA, D66 and ChristenUnie).

11. The people love him everywhere.

Fantasyland, Atlantis, Middle Earth, Utopia, the Emerald City, the Garden of Eden, Purgatory (where he has been told they're preparing a special welcome),as well as Oceania, Eurasia and Eastasia, and -- for you Game of Throne addicts -- Westeros and Essos, of course.

17. You forgot Gilead

They definitely love him there!

16. By "The Netherlands"

Does he mean Holland or Hell?

[lunatica]

18. He meant Neverneverland.

He’s confused.
