This is Mark Rutte at his best. He has been the Prime Minister in the Netherlands for years and there the same behaviour, and if you distance yourself from him or go against him, he hugs you even harder. Btw, he and Israel seem to understand very well that Trump's ego needs to be stroked with superlatives to get something done with him.

This doesn't seem like the type of behavior that is conducive to a collaborative effort like NATO.

There is no one better at getting the most diverse types of people on board and working together. By the way, don't think that this text message was meant to be shared publicly, but negative things never stick to him.

I'm not too familiar with him a politician. I do know a few of the changes he's made in Holland that I don't agree with but I haven't been there in 20+ years and don't know the political environment.

As Prime Minister/politician, he was one of a kind. No private life, no vision that allowed him to move in all directions, verbally strong, ad rem. Has survived some motions of no confidence and continued unscathed. I have seen angry farmers who came to him to get a story and who thanked him full of praise afterwards (while in fact they got no response). Regardless of what he has done, he is a talented craftsman.
