That’s the second best deer-in-the-headlights “DAWK” we’ve had yet this year! What a fucking dolt. His expression says “I don’t get it... lies work so well at home...”

Have to admit, I felt kinda proud to be Dutch here.

DUTCH PRESS: THANK YOU.

Holy Cow, how tone deaf does an administration have to be to send this guy to the Netherlands? Who wouldn’t have seen this coming?
