The biker is actually a good friend of me, what the video doesn't show is that he ended up in the canal, good luck surviving that but he had, currents can be nasty in the Netherlands, there not that much but in the rivers or the north-sea you get a free trip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tuwbmcowkig

EDIT: I regret posting this. There is no "view from nowhere" that can be taken to productively interpret the alluded analogy unless one begins from a premise that allows them to interpret the psychology of the boy in the video very negatively. There is no way for my analogy to reflect the defective psychology of Trump without reference to a particular set of interpretations of what the video boy is doing and why (i.e. that he is delusional, entitled, attention-seeking, obviously lacking all capacity to succeed absent the indulgence, apathy or complicity of others, etc.). I do not wish to advance these connotations against the boy.

I'm fucking terrible for doing this, but the relationship of the embedded video's principal with martial arts is analogous to Donald Trump's relationship with Crime.
