Viral Video: America First, The Netherlands Second

These videos are a part of the ongoing European series entitled “Every Second Counts“, which seek to poke fun at Mr.Trump’s declaration of “America First” during his inaugural address.

Here's the video from the Netherlands:

Dear Mr. President, welcome to this introduction video about the Netherlands. It's going to be a great video. It's going to be absolutely fantastic.

We totally understand it's going to be "America first." But can we just say: the Netherlands second?

And, of course, Switzerland wasn't going to leave this unchallenged. Check out their "invitation" video:

Dear Mr. President, welcome to this introduction video about Switzerland, the sexiest country in Europe. Look at those mountains those big fat mountains. We’re not flat, like for example the Netherlands. They’re so flat. Total disaster.
