This is guy this country’s version of Trump?

Kinda. He's a lot smarter and less megalomanic. He is a very single issue populist, his only point is migration and islamophobia.

He needs a coalition to be able to govern and the libereal party just said they won't do bussiness with him. However I think that they will eventually turn around.

I don't know about that, i think there will be no coalition with the PVV not because they couldn't form one, but because they couldn't execute it because the PVV has no serious policitians required to actually execute the agenda. The VVD knows this and made the right strategic decision to distance themselves from the PVV, i also don't see how NSC will ever be able to go into a government with the PVV, i think there will be new elections next year.

The vvd members are mad at Dylan because she's putting on the breaks, they really want to go right, and I think they would be disappointed if she keeps refusing.

I think actually going into a coalition with the PVV would be more damaging, which is why they already ruled it out.
