Dutch Olympics Fans Troll Trump With Genius Flag Message
Dutch fans attending the 2018 Winter Olympics took a shot at U.S. President Donald Trump on Saturday.
The Netherlands’ Carlijn Achtereekte, Ireen Wust and Antoinette De Jong scored the gold, silver and bronze medals respectively in the women’s 3,000-meter speed skating event in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
And their supporters couldn’t resist trolling Trump by unfurling their nation’s flag on which “Sorry Mr. President. The Netherlands First... And 2nd... And 3rd” had been written, per Mashable.
Sorry #Trump @POTUS

It was a mocking reference to Trump’s “America First” policy.
Illustrator Marc-Jan Janssen also chimed in with a similar joke on Twitter:
It’s the #NetherlandsFirst
the #Netherlands second
and the Netherlands third.
