Queen of the Netherlands ridicules Trump on tv

This is how far we’ve fallen — figurehead royalty from small countries openly ridiculing our head of state.

And she’s completely right.

Yes I looked for a nonDM link. No luck.

It’s not that small. I met him when he was merely crown prince and a secret commercial pilot. She’s of argentine background. Both are WAY smarter than he is

Mark Rutte, former premier of the NL and “confirmed bachelor” called trump “daddy “ in the news recently

Not exactly r3

[Quote] Both are WAY smarter than he is

That’s not in doubt.

But yes, the Netherlands is a small country. Its population is a little over twice the population of New York City.

Slay, QUEEEEEEEN!

r5, bigger than a LOT of places. and for the record, the only big monarchies are in east asia.

r4, out of context, but it was a terribly sycophantic thing to say

I wouldn't say sycophantic r8. Playing him with flattery was more like it. His explanation was done with a knowing smirk. I guess his ego isn't as fragile as Trump's.

We are, and always have been, at war with East Asia.

Unfortunately I don’t see the ridicule. What is it supposed to be.

Dutch MAGA equivalents claim she was simply recovering from some sort of "procedure"

Tell the disruptive baby what he wants to hear so the adults can move ahead with the business at hand.

I hope Netflix picks up the Maxima series which has already shot two seasons. I gather the end of Season 2 is when she marries King Willem.

One of Máxima's former classmates from the exclusive all-girls boarding school they attended (the Northlands School) claimed in an interview with a Dutch publication that the series "got it all terribly wrong"

She actually transitioned into becoming a princess with the help of secret Brazilian doctor, Fernando da Souza

“Queen Maxima” is a great name.

I don’t see what others are seeing there. What am I missing? I swear, shit like this is just so MAGA enablers and media can keep making Dump a victim.

I preferred Queen Camilla's little wink:

The King of Orange and the king of orange

It wasn’t anything she said….

R21 I wanna have a drink with her.

Count me in, R22. I’ll buy a few rounds!

The funny thing is I do this too sometimes. Someone's face or accent makes such in an impression on me, I parrot it back to them. They think it's mocking, but I don't know how else to describe it. I have to catch myself from doing it at times. You can see with that quick "oh geez" expression she made at the end she caught herself doing it.

While we all know monarchies are generally useless, I love that planners of the NATO summit knew to roll out the King and Queen to invite Cheeto over to the palace for a sleepover and kiss his ass so the rest of them could get work done (and also he'd show up and not sabotage NATO).

Concern troll energy

That made me do a spit take R21. Slide over Viv, I think a new DL icon is born!

Jesus wept, give it up already. That’s like saying that Natalie Portman isn’t short because there are plenty of people under five foot two.

The Netherlands is a small country.

Queen Maxima is 5'8". Look at the video of them together. No way King Diaperman is anywhere near 6'3", even 8f she's wearing three-inch heels.

If, not 8f

She's a fabulous Amazon.

I thought her saying, 'Thank you all very much' was a reproof and feed for Trump's inadequate response to being asked how he slept. "...It was great..." - sotto voce - wasn't so warm full and gracious a response, but of course.

The memory this gave me was of Reagan being asked a question by reporters about some international crisis, and blanking, with a smile. Nancy next to him quietly prompted, "We're doing all we can", which Reagan then repeated. We now know what lay behind his blanking.

Maxima is savage.

Trump is a shrimp. The king is much taller than Trump, who is the same height as the queen.

No one is gonna comment on Trump’s smile?

He always smiles like that for photo ops. Chicklet central. See also the link above with Charles and Camilla at Buck Palace.

She is a real queen

R36 A death rictus grin. Like a scary clown from a Stephen King novel.

They are just lucky he didn’t shove them aside to get to the camera.

I mean, honestly it wasn’t very becoming of the woman’s status no matter how politically reviling Trump is. He’s still the American President and she’s still the Queen of her people and the host. Why insult Americans and your own people by showing you can’t contain yourself for just a couple of minutes? And yep, I get the irony in that statement. But Trump didn’t seem to do or say anything offensive to her or toward her or her country. Another reason the world needs to rid itself of monarchies as much as America needs to rid itself of Donald Trump.

I’m concerned that you need to fuck off, R26.

Sorry for the admittedly lame whataboutery, but her family, the corrupt Zorreguietas of Argentina, are hardly better than the Trumps or the Kushners. Her father Jorge was found to have been fully aware of the Dirty Wars while serving as agriculture minister in the Videla government, and he wasn't allowed to attend his daughter's wedding in the Netherlands.

[quote] He’s still the American President and she’s still the Queen of her people and the host. Why insult Americans and your own people by showing you can’t contain yourself for just a couple of minutes?

Because she's the Queen and can do whatever she wants.

Save your pity and concern for my fellow countrymen, hon. You're wasting it.

R24 are you and the queen on the spectrum maybe?

R19 Melanoma couldn’t have looked more ridiculous

Ha!

Of course someone here has to trash the queen. Yet Donald can fellate a mic stand, go on and on about Arnold Palmer's cock, etc. and......crickets.

R40 Trump is a corrupt, pussy-grabbing rapist with 34 felonies who's trying to bring the U.S. into modern day Nazism.

The Queen of Netherland's mocking him is the kindest, most generous thing she could have done in his presence. Had it been me, I'd have spit in his fat, orange fucking face.

She was translating to Dutch for the Dutch language press?

No, not at all R44.

[quote]She was translating to Dutch for the Dutch language press?

Everyone in the Netherlands speaks English.

She wasn’t mocking him, ffs

Slow news day at The Mail?

R7 my (our?) country may not be big in size, but it’s HUGE in international trade and world politics.

Compare that to an actual big country whose influence is waning… Enough said!

R52 Oh, do explain what she was doing then, dear. Praising him? Calling him "daddy?"

Oh, please, Dutchie. There’s a reason what she’s done has become a meme I’ve seen a thousand times in the past few days. Of course she was mocking him. Don’t insult our intelligence. We know what we saw.

R52 Seems more like a slow year in your brain.

We can all learn so much from the enlightened Dutch.

[quote]We know what we saw.

Be great if this became a thing, following Carney's wink. Too tiny possibly even for Trump to react against, but seen and understood the world over.

Did she just turn me into a royalist?

[quote]He’s still the American President and she’s still the Queen of her people and the host. Why insult Americans and your own people by showing you can’t contain yourself for just a couple of minutes?

Prickly American crackers and idiots, so worried about upholding their pride on a star-spangled flagpole that they are oblivious to their country being sold off for parts.

Bullshit. Total clickbait.

The country was founded on the country being sold off for (or in) parts, R60. It’s a perpetual real estate bubble. We are comfortable with that. The country turning into a theocracy, that’s the part that Americans don’t seem to care about.

[Quote] She is a real queen

Please bitch, spare me.

So how should monarchs have treated Hitler when he was on a state visit?

Well, David and I found him really quite charming!

Is it AI?

That happened to me once. I was on a train, sitting in a compartment across someone who was cross-eyed. I don't know what came over me and I certainly don't remember doing it deliberately but five minutes had not passed that I was looking him dead in the eye with my eyes... crossed. The man took notice, didn't like it and assaulted me. Fortunately he assaulted the wrong me and I was able to escape the situation pretty much unscathed.

^ Never happened.

Gee, r68: do ya THINK???
