Someone suggested it may have been Rutte who called him that, which... not unlikely.

Rutte is no longer a European leader though.

Unfortunately now I would expect it from Rutte😕. In a way, I hope it is Rutte who continues with his (very morally questionable) technique to mollify him and not another new European leader who is stooping to lick Trump's boots.

I find it hard to imagine for any of our leaders to use that explicit language.

There's diplomacy and then there's sycophancy.
The EU leaders seem to focus on the former (if unsuccessful), Rutte is a sad master of the latter.

Let's hope Rutte didn't have any students🥲

Sadly, he's actually a teacher in social studies and continued to teach during his tenure as PM. Not sure if he still does this though.
