- Fnoord 2y agoThat guy ain't doing EO's. He ain't even leading the country; Dick Schoof does. Well, on paper, at least.
- vanderZwan 2y agoThat's… a very naive take imo. Wilders is a far-right populist like Trump, and they have many other similarities, but they also have some very crucial differences. A very important one being that Trump is a figure-head leader but actually a puppet of other forces, while Wilders avoids being prime minister at all costs so he can keep playing the role of a reactionary politician complaining about bad leadership while making everyone dependent on him.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoWho, specifically, do you claim that Trump is a puppet of, and why?

- vanderZwan 2y agoIf you still are not noticing how quickly Trump changes his mind on literally anything depending on who is prepared to pay him, then no "specific" argument I can make will convince you otherwise. So I'm not in the mood to waste either of our time "debating" this here.
- bobxmax 2y agoWilders is also a fair bit more extreme than Trump.
