The reporters have really messed up here, and now Trump is using it for himself.
Rutte himself describes what happened.
The words, the sentiment, and the context are clear from the tape, and are exactly as you describe.

This whole "Daddy" thing is so fucking stupid.
Am I the only one who can hear that the head of NATO did not call Trump "Daddy?" Trump said Israel and Iran were like "two kids in a school yard," and the guy went along with it and said "sometimes Daddy has to use strong words..."

Orbán must be furious. Donald, you didn't include me in your video, I thought we were BFF!

But it can be improved? Just couple several of those pods together, for instance four laterally, and 20 longitudinally, and have it run on tracks on the ground instead of up in the air. Still basically the same but much easier to operate. If only somebody could come up with a system like that.

A far more positive example is one of Törni's jaegers, a young automatic rifleman who later devoted much of his life to finding better ways for Finland to survive its large, often imperial neighbor.
In 1982, Dr. Mauno Koivisto became the first Social Democrat to be elected the president of Finland.

Is that like his trademark, that he always wears such? (My guess.)
Or just a random thing he did for some reason?

By the way, I couldn't believe my eyes when some years ago in Strasbourg, in a nice cocktail bar, I saw this bottle on the shelf. The owner proudly offered us shots, perhaps not realising that this has to be served very cold to be enjoyable as a shot. But their cocktails were nice.

I also love the design of the trains. The overall design concept by Alexander Neumeister and his team is, to me, an embodiment of the ideals of German design, and as an information designer, I admire the signage/wayfinding system by edenspiekermann. 21/

As you had a first class ticket, if you had time, you could have enjoyed free snacks (bread, cheese, muesli, salad, fruit, coffee, tea, juice) in the SJ Lounge at the station.

Pro Tip: It is easier to change in Lund. Shorter walk, occasionally just across the platform. All trains to Copenhagen pass through Lund first before reaching Malmö.

But at least the city hasn't paid or promised to pay anything yet, if I understood correctly.

I was in Venice with my wife for five nights in May. I talked in a bar to an American who was there with his family, including a daughter in her 20s. He was embarrassed and amused that the daughter thought Venice was horrible, dilapidated and ugly. My reply: maybe she should go on vacation to Vegas.

Ah! I saw it when I was in Trieste and wondered what ship it was.

What followed was the best meal I've had on a train (I've had many) with the best service I've experienced. It even beat CD & WARS. The price was £31.50, including the beer. Maybe the Orient Express is better, but I doubt it.
