"Is It Always Like This?:" Dutch PM Asks Trump About Rude Behavior of American Reporters

At the end of the photo op, PM Rutte was clearly amused as press aides shouted loudly at the press pool to clear out of the Oval Office. "Is it always like this?" Rutte asked Pres Trump, clearly in disbelief at the lack of decorum. Even Trump cracked a smile. pic.twitter.com/L8ZlmFuHQN

The Prime Minister of the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, was clearly shook by all the reporters shouting questions. Trump told the PM at the beginning of the meeting that it’s like the "Academy Awards" as all the cameras flashed. After the presser, reporters continued shouting at the top of their lungs at the pair of world leaders.

Rutte turned to Trump, bewildered and asking "Is it always like this?" Trump whispered something to him that was inaudible -- but caused the both to laugh.
