AP is reporting this as real

I would love and hate to see proof that Mark Rutte really texted this to Trump.

The "Truth" post is 100% real, inarguably, but I haven't seen anyone reporting the picture is of a real message from Rutte to Trump.

E: never mind that is... apparently Rutte's office has confirmed the message is really from Rutte????

?????

I need to go lie down.

I can tell you as a Dutchman, reading this I could hear Mark Rutte's voice and it aligns with his anglophile suck-up character.
I couldn't see him writing it any other way.

I'm confused why people are surprised at this, to be honest. It's entirely expected.
