Interviewed by FOX Business Network, U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said that, because of the lack of “assimilation” of the Muslim community, Brussels is like a “hellhole”. “Go to Brussels, go to Paris… There’s something going on and it’s not good.”, he said.
But tweeters don’t seem to agree with Mr. Trump. They are since Wednesday breaking the Internet with parodies and jokes about Brussels being like a “hellhole” or, as Belgians have translated it, a “trou à rats” (literally, a rat hole).
Tweeters from around Belgium and above are using the hashtags #sendarat2donald and #hellhole to send Mr. Trump their response; and these are some few examples:
