Geert Wilder's freedom party was able to eek out a few seats in parliament, but overall this was seen as a resounding victory for freedom and democracy. The Euro even jumped in value as Rutte's victory was confirmed.

The Dutch were not fooled enough and they don't have an electoral college.

The sun is starting to set on Trumptardism, and in a year or two, Trumptards will be little more than footnotes in history. Their memory will be piled on the scrapheap just like Nazism and Communism.

With all but two vote counts complete, the prime minister's party has won 33 out of 150 seats, a loss of eight seats from the previous parliament.
The Labour Party (PvdA), the junior party in the governing coalition, suffered a historic defeat by winning only nine seats, a loss of 29. Labour's defeat appeared to signal voters shifting to the right, as many of the seats it lost did not go to other left-wing parties.
[Geert Wilder's] Freedom party was in second place on 20 seats, a gain of five, with the Christian Democrats (CDA) and the liberal D66 party close behind with 19 seats each.
i.e, His party WON seats.

Don't forget the Trumptards. Vengeance must be quick, decisive, necessary, persistent and merciless.

What does this mean for the EU?
France goes to the polls next month to elect a new president, with the far right National Front forecast to increase its vote dramatically.
In Germany, the populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) may win seats in parliament for the first time in September's general election.
Mr Rutte had already spoken of the election as a quarter-final against populism ahead of the French and German polls. And his victory was warmly greeted by other European leaders and politicians:
French President Francois Hollande said he had won a "clear victory against extremism"
German Chancellor Angela Merkel hailed a "very pro-European result, a clear signal... and a good day for democracy" and her chief of staff, Peter Altmaier, tweeted: "The Netherlands, oh the Netherlands you are a champion!"
Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy praised Dutch voters for their "responsibility"
Martin Schulz, president of the European Parliament until earlier this year, said he was relieved the Freedom Party had lost. "We must continue to fight for an open and free Europe!" he added on
