NATO secretary-general calls Trump 'Daddy' (abcnews.go.com)

NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte called President Donald Trump "Daddy" on Wednesday, reacting to the president's recent use of expletives when he accused Iran and Israel of violating a ceasefire agreement.

Early Wednesday morning during a bilateral meeting between Trump and Rutte during the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Trump likened the countries of Israel and Iran to "two kids in a schoolyard" that had a "big fight."

"You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two-three minutes, then it's easy to stop them," he continued.

Rutte raised eyebrows when he interjected, "Daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get them to stop."

...

Yet the White House continues to embrace the "daddy" title, posting on X a video compilation of Trump's NATO trip set to the tune of Usher's "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" with the accompanying text: "Daddy's home… Hey, hey, hey, Daddy."

Rutte's a slimy chameleon, he's very good at molding himself into whatever the person he's interacting with wants him to be. Trump wants a boot licker so he's licking boots. He's also utterly shameless which is why he's so comfortable publicly debasing himself like this.

I believe it, but are we sure he's not trying to be bred too?
