A video by Dutch comics introducing President Trump to the Netherlands has been viewed almost 600,000 times.

On Sunday the comedy news show Zondag met Lubach released a video in response to Donald Trump's inauguration as President of the United States.

The video was produced in a style intended to "suit" the president's style.

To cater to the president's needs, a voice over (Greg Shapiro) describes the Netherlands, in speech patterns oddly reminiscent of the commander in chief.

Among other things, they highlighted the country's language (and it's superiority over neighbouring tongues)
