Joining the buzz around US President Donald Trump's latest "Daddy" nickname . the White House on Thursday celebrated his return from the NATO summit with a provocative music video. The montage video was posted on White House's official Instagram account, marking an unusually theatrical moment from the administration, coming hours after NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte referred to Trump as "Daddy" at the summit.The one-minute video showed Trump's arrival and interactions with NATO chief Mark Rutte and other officials at the summit with the White House making sure to turn it up a notch by pairing a video montage of the trip with Usher's 'Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)". The official White House X account posted a video of Trump arriving at the NATO Summit, dramatically set to Usher's 2010 R&B single 'Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)' from his album Raymond v. Raymond."And when I walk in, all that I wanna hear / Is you say, 'Daddy's home, home for me' / And I know you've been waiting for this loving all day / You know your daddy's home and it's time to play," are the lyrics.Donald Trump, the most powerful man in the world, got a new nickname from Mark Rutte -- the "Daddy". The two leaders were joshing ahead of the NATO summit when Trump likened the conflict between Iran and Israel as "two kids fighting in a school". "They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard," said Trump."You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two, three minutes, then it's easier to stop," he added.Rutte quipped: "And then Daddy has to sometimes use strong language." That was a reference to Trump's expletive-laced outburst as he set off for the NATO summit, visibly angry at the prospect of the Iran-Israel ceasefire breaking down.The two countries have been "fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the fuck they're doing, do you understand that?" the president told reporters at the White House.Trump chuckled at Rutte's reference, admitting: "Everyone said 'Well, you have to use a certain word'." Known for his combustible outbursts, Trump rarely uses expletives in public and his F-bomb caught many by surprise.People have been left divided after the official White House account posted a video of Trump at the summit with Usher's 'Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)' in the background.While many think the White House social media manager 'deserves a raise', some are pretty enraged by the clip. "Has the United States really reduced to this that 'Daddy is Home' song is supposed to represent us? SMH wow," one person said."This is what happens when you elect a billionaire celeb to be president because wtf is this post and song?!?!!" another complained. "This is gross, l'm in disgust. This is not my America and this man doesn't represent me as an American," fumed a third.Others, however, just thought it was funny, with one commenting: "LOL song choice on point after someone called him 'daddy' in a press conference today." "Give your social media mgr a raise immediately," a second said. "Man I love seeing liberals in the comments losing hair and punching the air. MAGA," someone else penned.(With AFP inputs)
