Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte told reporters at the summit in the Hague that President Donald Trump was like a "daddy" intervening in a schoolyard fight.

So cringe seeing Europeans debase themselves over Trump.
- Not all european leaders are sucking up to dictator trump
  
  Most of the major european countries does
- I try to reason myself that he's playing the long game and whatever but god damn it feels dirty.

Dick sucker Rutte, does everything to keep the orange cheeto happy

Ok what
I was honestly okay with him using trump's egocentrism against him but what
How credible is this source? Is there video of this?
- There is and it's not quite at the level all these headlines are making it sound like. He says something like "daddy has to use his authority" or something like that. Still bad but these headlines make it sound like he was groveling in a gimp suit.
  
  I did understand from the article that it was said as a joke. It's just... A fucking weird joke.

In other news, Mark Rutte buys knee pads and metamucil in bulk.

Having a ceasefire just because this guy tweets "Ceasefire on! No takesy-backsies!" Is like debt collectors forgiving your credit history if you shout, "I declare bankruptcy!"

That is just… a comical level of misrepresentation of the nature and context of Rutte’s commentary.
- They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard. You know, they fight like hell, you can't stop them. Let them fight for about two to three minutes, then it's easy to stop them," he said at a press conference.
  Rutte laughed and added: "And then daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get (them to) stop."
  
  I mean, that's fucking weird though. If I said that shit at work I'd get a talking to from HR.
