Beau van Erven Dorens was completely shocked: he saw last night how Michiel Vos came out of his talk show table as a Trump sympathisant. “A painful evening.”
America maker Michiel Vos is in the Democratic Hol of the Lion: he lives in New York and is the son -in -law of Nancy Pelosi, a prominent American politician of the Democratic Party. You would therefore expect that he should not have anything from the controversial Republican President Donald Trump.
Performance
However, something strange is going on: after Reinout Oerlemans, Michiel is now also praising the performance of Trump on Dutch television. “He also keeps everyone a bit on the edge of the chair. It is a performance. Actually for two months and that is fine with many Americans,” he says last night Beau.
About the Ukraine war: “Trump wants a deal with Putin and whether there should be land away from Zensky, at Ukraine … Yes, that they will determine this, because the big boys are not going to participate and Europe is not allowed to participate. It is almost nice for the Americans to see that we can keep Europe out that we do this very quickly.”
Great and top
Michiel notices that there is a lot of satisfaction with Trump. “Americans – not all – think it’s great and great that he makes a little bit of this kind of big move very quickly,” because Europe is doing nothing, has been watching that war for three years and we are financing it in part and uses many weapons. “
“They want something to happen and we have hired this bulldozer, this Mr. Trump, to make big moves. I very much notice that the Netherlands is looking at it very differently, but we Dutch have to pay attention not to look at America with too Dutch glasses. Americans have really chosen this.”
Lying Bully
Talkshowhost Beau van Erven Dorens is shocked by Michiels’s statements. “Yes, but we just find it very tiring to look at a man who lies so incredibly, cheats, one Bully is. “
Michiel: “Yes, all that. And crazy things says. But also taking big steps in files that are stuck and where Europe does not get out of course. There is something else of course. He wants to get rid of Europe, like many Americans. Europe is not interested. It is a burden. We are going to clean up our own mess.”
Wrestle
Beau wonders which camp Michiel is actually sitting in and asks him on the man: “My key question is of course, Michiel Vos: Where are you standing?”
Michiel: “I am struggling with this. (…) I look in my own city and I think it is a bit of a mess. Left board, left mayor, rules, schools closed under Covid, that has also been very bad for America. I sometimes think: Trump has to clean up a bit.”
Beau: “Despite all those annoying things? All that misery? ConspiracyTheories? (…) What does your mother -in -law Nancy Pelosi think of that? ”
What does Nancy think?
Michiel says that Nancy does not yet know his Trump sympathies. “Fortunately, I have not yet discussed this with that. My wife, for example … that is not a right -wing lady, you know her, yes, who also says:” Listen, there just has to clean the city a bit and that can’t be a left -wing mayor. “
“That something has to happen, for example the border closed … all those people who come in … If the left does not do it, then the old -fashioned populist right will do it and then it goes really hard.”
‘Stays my friend’
Beau is clearly disappointed in Michiel. “But Michiel, despite everything: you just stay my friend, it doesn’t matter at all. We just keep talking to each other.”
Michiel: “I think it’s scary, because of course you really hear the opposite in the Netherlands. I think we should give Trump a bit of time. Then go to America and see how it has become.”
Beau: “He certainly doesn’t get that space from me. Thank you, Michiel.”
A lukewarm applause follows. Michiel: “A painful evening.”
Victor analyzes
What does Victor Vlam think, who is an American expert in addition to media aritor and VI connoisseur,? “Michiel Vos has made a twist about Trump, he says at Beau. He now thinks Trump is necessary to solve the problems of the US. Beau clearly disagrees with it. Remarkable change of course of the son -in -law of Nancy Pelosi,” he writes on X.
He was ‘surprised’. “It is healthy that, in addition to all those anti-Trump, there are also more pro-Trump sounds. The social debate benefits from several points of view. He quite a good story about Democrats who could not resolve the problems in his city.
