On edit: Chowder66 has pointed out this is not the president of Finland. Sorry for the confusion.

Nevertheless it is funny!

UPDATE: I just discovered he is Bjorn from ABBA. OMG!!!!

FURTHER UPDATE: Highplainsdem just informed me I am wrong again. He is Rob Paulsen, an American voice actor.

I hope I do not have to make any further retractions. This is getting embarrassing. More like Lounge material than GD.

11. Good thing he didn't vent his gall bladder

Without gall, there'd be nothing left of him.

2. OMG. I love it and have to admit I'd never expect such frank comments re: Trump from a

foreign President. But it is damned refreshing. I think I love this guy!

4. As much as I like this tweet,

I don't think it is the president of Finland, see Sauli Niinist below:

No apologies necessary. I'm laughing all the same.

10. It turns out he is impersonating the president but here you go

Hello America My name is Sauli Niinistö and I am the prez of Finland. Today I had the great honor of being a guest in the Oval Office in WH with your president DT. We had a very short meeting. Followed by a press --conference is a strong word [says something I can't transcribe in Finnish] which means "venting one's spleen" which clearly he did. I must say as much as I love your country, I prefer the company of reindeer. And snow. Come visit Finland. You'll be glad you did.
