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?
Another .ml telling lies. There are only reports on this from bullshit sources. There are no major sources currently reporting this.
Care to share your “multiple well established sources” or should we just take your word for it?
Holy shit you are the biggest moron on your instance.
Another person hating .ml for stating truths which oppose their fantasy world view.

Come on you can't be this moronic.
It's on the official trump account on his crap social media, you need BBC to show this link to you?
You really think people would go online and lie? Just because he posted it does not make it a real text. It does appear to be genuine though, but don't just trust things cause someone said/posted it
The text is real, too.
Everyone can lie, even if Rutte said that the print is false he could also be lying(but they confirm that this is real). The point is, Trump actually post this shit, don't need to be a fucking moron and say "Another .ml telling lies"
Why would this not be real?
It looks legit to me.
It's got all the little idiosyncracy hallmarks Rutte has.
I don't think Trump could make this up.
please stop with this ml bullshit
@umbrella@lemmy.ml was talking about Maeruu complaining about Lemmy.ml as the bullshit, umbrella was not claiming Maeruu's take was Marxist-Leninist and that is bad. Really not sure how you got that one confused.
