Presidential Meme Game Reaching Unprecedented Levels with Daddy’s Home Video [WATCH]

The White House communications team released a meme-style video this week that quickly gained attention online after NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte jokingly referred to President Donald Trump as “daddy” during the NATO summit in The Hague.

The video, posted to official White House social media accounts, featured the Usher song “Daddy’s Home” over a montage of President Trump’s arrival aboard Air Force One, meetings with world leaders, and moments from the NATO summit, including a handshake with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and footage of Trump arriving at the Dutch palace.

The clip also included the now-viral moment from a day earlier when Secretary General Rutte used the term “daddy” in reference to Trump.

Not all responses were positive.

ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl reposted the video, writing, “An official product of the WH communications office —” without further comment.

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a frequent Trump critic, weighed in sarcastically, writing, “This is super straight and super alpha male. Uh huh.”

The original “daddy” comment came during a bilateral meeting between President Trump and Secretary General Rutte in The Hague.

Rutte offered support for Trump’s blunt language in criticizing both Israel and Iran amid tensions over a fragile ceasefire agreement brokered by the U.S.

“Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,” Rutte said, referring to Trump’s remarks.

A day earlier, standing outside the White House, President Trump addressed frustrations with the lack of compliance from both nations regarding the ceasefire.

“We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f**k- they’re doing,” the president said.

The blunt assessment drew laughs from reporters and even members of his own team.

At a news conference the following day during the NATO summit, Secretary of State Marco Rubio laughed when asked by a reporter about the president’s phrasing.

🚨 LMAO! Marco Rubio absolutely LOST his composure in the background as Trump is asked about NATO Secretary General calling him “daddy.” 🤣

REPORTER: “Mark Rutte, the NATO Chief, he called you ‘daddy’ earlier…Do you regard your NATO allies as children?”

RUBIO: 🤣🤣🤣

Despite the social media buzz, the summit itself carried significant policy outcomes.

President Trump and Secretary General Rutte emphasized the need for NATO member nations to meet increased defense spending targets.

The alliance reached an agreement to raise the minimum defense spending commitment to 5% of GDP for each member nation, fulfilling one of President Trump’s longstanding demands.

The updated commitment marks a sharp increase from the previous benchmark of 2%, a goal that many NATO members had previously struggled to meet.

Trump and Rutte have worked closely in recent months to encourage stronger financial contributions from European allies amid ongoing global conflicts and rising security concerns.

President Trump’s participation in the NATO summit, along with the viral video and its online reaction, reflected both his continued prominence on the global stage and the evolving use of social media by the White House communications team.
