Context for the picture: then Prime Minister Mark Rutte was sharing some funny video with our king Willem Alexander. This was during the opening of a UN meeting, while Trump was giving a speech (2019)

The Dutch just get prickly about their language. Just don't try to pronounce Van Gogh, or they might turn nasty.
