At the 2025 NATO Summit in The Hague, Donald Trump not only dominated the room, but he also assumed a provocative new title. Following the emotionally charged back-and-forth on global diplomacy and nuclear deterrence, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte publicly called the U.S. president "daddy," an offhand remark that was met with gasps, laughter, and a headline-grabbing moment that quickly went viral.
"Daddy has to sometimes use strong language," Rutte said, his fist in the air, echoing Trump's unvarnished language about the Iran-Israel ceasefire negotiations. Trump, hungry as ever for public attention, replied later with a grin, "I think he likes me."

This open expression of admiration followed quickly after Trump announced a "complete and total ceasefire" between Iran and Israel, a feat he compared to putting to rest a fight on the playground. "They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard," Trump said to Rutte. "You know, they fight like hell, you can't stop them. Let them fight for about 2, 3 minutes, then it's easy to stop them."
Rutte's colorful reaction won him plaudits but also raised eyebrows. Fleischer continued, "When it comes to Iran, the fact that he took this decisive action, very targeted, to make sure that Iran would not be able to get his hands on a nuclear capability, I think he deserves all the praise."
And while Trump's detractors might cringe at the schoolyard comparisons or the caustic language, his supporters are holding this moment up as an example of his signature style direct for, useful, and unflinchingly unfiltered As the summit wrapped up, "Daddy" had been trending across social media platforms, with past memes and soundbites, debate, and posturing that cut across political lines. But to Trump, the dawning was basic.
