    Ran a quick search and multiple well established news outlets are reporting this.

    I’m afraid it is.

    The wording does seem very out of character for Rutte but it makes sense that he feels the need to stoop to Trump’s level and overdo the flattering.

      Really?
      I’d say it hits it completely on point the way Rutte is, an anglophile that doesn’t want to rustle too many feathers unless it’s against leaders of countries outside of NATO.

      His party is super-pro-Israel and super-anti-Russia.
      What’s he gonna complain about?
