Also on Wednesday, June 25, Rutte had social media shook when he called Trump Daddy during a press conference at the summit. In the viral clip that has since exploded online, Rutte dropped the nickname while defending Trump. This came following the President’s explicit language about Israel and Iran breaking a ceasefire he helped broker.
Trump had compared the two countries to kids in a schoolyard fighting. He previously said they dont know what the f*** theyre doing. Rutte, trying to keep it cute, chimed in at the conference, saying, Daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get them to stop.
Trump, never one to miss a moment, though, leaned into the remark when a reporter continued asking him the same question.
Asked if Trump regarded his NATO allies as his children, he grinned. Trump then proceeded by saying,He likes me [] Daddy, youre my daddy. Meanwhile, Secretary of State Marco Rubio could be seen cracking up while standing next to Trump, seemingly amused by the reporter’s question.
