If you have been following the video contest started by the Netherlands, you know that there is a website called everysecondcounts.eu, where the comedians of many EU countries have made videos directed to Donald Trump. Each of them acknowledges that Trump said in his inaugural speech that “from now on, it’s America First.”
The Netherlands made the first video, saying it’s fine if America is first, but the Netherlands should be second.
Soon there were competing videos from Germany, Lithuania, Italy, Portugal, Lithuania, Slovenia, and many other countries, all making the case why they deserve to be second.
I urge you to watch them. You learn about the humor of each culture, and you see how they see us. Most are very funny. They have a hidden agenda. They reveal our common humanity.
One that’s different and not in the EU comes from Iran. The request is different. Not to be second, but…. see for yourself.

SPOILER ALERT (Switzerland)
I’ve seen most of them, & my favorite line so far is Switzerland’s, telling Trump, “We’re not even asking you for your money. We already have it!” (referring to their banks).
Iran’s is really clever too.

Somehow I don’t think it was made in Iran. Perhaps by an Iranian. But I thought it was great

Very interesting– Used some of the nuanced language of #45, some of the talking points, and other idiosyncrasies of the president– the tone and the dialect seems authentic and found myself amused greatly especially when narrator spoke of Iran’s #pride and joy, The Pride– Now, I’ll go watch the presentations of the other Nations– Remember, Iran before Iraq and Iran has the shape of a pussycat
😮 omg
