Dutch fans mocked President Trump during the Winter Olympics after three athletes from the Netherlands took the top three spots in the women's 3,000-meter speed skating event.

The photo was captured by Dutch TV channel NOS, Mashable reported.

The flag appeared to be mocking Trump's "America First" policy.

It came after the Netherlands’ Carlijn Achtereekte, Ireen Wust and Antoinette De Jong won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the women’s 3,000-meter speed skating event.

1. Didn't Trump appoint some Bozo

to be our ambassador there, who was caught lying about conditions in the Netherlands, and has been dodging the Dutch press ever since?

Note: please don't think I'm insulting Bozos in general or Bozo the Clown in particular.

possible for a job. Only way tRUMP works.

6. No, Trump appointed an idiot

Božo is a common first name in Serbia and elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia. It is the first name of the man who built my guitars. The kindest, sweetest, most gifted artist with wood I have ever met.

NOT to be confused with any lowlife of Trump's pals:

7. Understood.

He looks like a fine man and a master craftsman.

13. He was both

I miss him very much. He lives on in the sound his incomparable instruments make (they sound as good as they look).

14. Yes. As I recall, he gave a press conference and called out by the Dutch journalists...

The video I think was posted here as well.

I remember one woman informing him, "You have to answer our questions. This is Holland!"

I think the Trumpuppet just stood there with a stupid look on his face.

Small wonder he's avoiding public exposure ever since.

5. I never noticed this before

... but the flags of Russia and The Netherlands are quite similar.

9. Gotta love the Dutch fans out there.

The parties they throw at their Holland Heineken House at every Olympics are said to be legendary.

11. I hope our athletes handle this kind of trolling

the way we here at DU do/would.

[DFW]

12. I'm sure our athletes got as much of a laugh out of this as anyone

They were probably most embarrassed at Pence's behavior toward the host country.
