Trump White House drops ‘Daddy's Home' music video hours after NATO chief's gaffe
The White House has leaned into viral headlines by releasing a montage video of President Trump's NATO summit set to Usher's 'Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)". The clip dropped just hours after NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte publicly walked back his awkward reference to Trump as 'Daddy". The moment unfolded during a defence bloc meeting in The Hague, after Trump made a blunt comment about the Iran-Israel conflict. Rutte replied, 'Daddy has to use strong language,' prompting laughter – and global headlines. While the remark was widely seen as a diplomatic slip, the White House's response suggests Trump is in on the joke.

White House Joins Buzz Around Trump's Latest Nickname, Shares 'Daddy's Home' Video
Last Updated: The video, shared by the White House, playfully embraces the nickname, which emerged from an exchange between Trump and Rutte. The White House on Thursday joined the buzz around US President Donald Trump's latest 'Daddy" nickname, given by NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the recent summit, sharing a minute-long video showing Trump's interactions with Rutte and other leaders at the summit, set to the track Daddy's Home by Usher. The video, shared by the White House, playfully embraces the nickname, which emerged from an exchange between Trump and Rutte. 🎶 Daddy's home… Hey, hey, hey, Donald J. Trump attended the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands. — The White House (@WhiteHouse) June 26, 2025 NATO Secretary-General praised Trump's military strikes on Iran, describing the US President as a firm parental figure stepping in during a crisis. Trump compared Iran and Israel to 'two kids in a school yard". 'They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard," Trump said. '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. To this, Rutte extended the metaphor, saying, 'Then daddy has to sometimes use strong language." Trump laughed at Rutte's 'Daddy" remark and acknowledged the use of his unexpected expletive. 'Everyone said 'Well, you have to use a certain word'," he said. Rutte was referring to Trump's angry reaction earlier in the day at the White House, where the president was visibly upset about the possibility of the Iran-Israel ceasefire falling apart. 'The two countries have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*** they're doing, do you understand that?" Trump had told reporters. When asked later about the nickname, Trump said he didn't mind it. 'He did it very affectionately," Trump said. The exchange also drew laughter from US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was present when Trump responded to Rutte's comment. The Dutch leader also credited Trump for pushing NATO members toward higher defense spending. 'Would you ever think this would be the result of this summit if he would not have been re-elected president?" he asked rhetorically. First Published: June 26, 2025, 10:37 IST

Trump Embraces ‘Daddy' Nickname
Donald Trump loves to give nicknames. To himself (Honest Don, A Very Stable Genius, The King). To others (Crooked Hillary, Sleepy Joe, Gavin Newscum). Now he seems happy to take one: 'Daddy.' The White House on Wednesday night posted a video showing the U.S. President attending the NATO summit this week to the soundtrack of R&B singer Usher's 2010 song 'Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home).' The post was in apparent reference to NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte appearing to call Trump 'daddy' on Wednesday when asked about Trump's expletive-laced rebuke of Israel and Iran after the two countries risked upending a fragile ceasefire he helped broker on Monday. 'We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f-ck they're doing,' Trump said as he left the White House for The Hague on Tuesday morning. 'Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,' Rutte said, sitting beside Trump at the summit. Rutte earlier lauded Trump, according to text messages Trump posted to his Truth Social platform, for authorizing strikes on three nuclear facilities in Iran over the weekend. When asked Wednesday about Rutte calling him 'daddy,' Trump said. 'He likes me. If he doesn't, I'll let you know, I'll come back, and I'll hit him hard.' 'He did it very affectionately, 'Daddy, you're my daddy,'' Trump imitated. Rutte tried to clarify later that he did not mean to call Trump 'daddy' but rather to liken Trump's relationship to Europe to that of a father figure. 'What I said is that sometimes, in Europe, I hear sometimes countries saying, 'Hey, Mark, will the U.S. stay with us?' And I said that sounds a little bit like a small child asking his daddy, 'hey, are you still staying with the family?'' It's not the first time Trump's been called daddy, and he seems to like it. In a 2023 interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, golfer John Daly said he and fellow golfers 'want Daddy Trump back.' Trump posted about the reference on his Truth Social platform at the time and again a few months later. Daly has said he's called Trump 'daddy' since the two met in 1992. Carlson also once compared Trump to a father figure at an October 2024 rally when he likened some of the American public to a 'hormone-addled 15-year-old daughter' who's been allowed to 'slam the door and give you the finger.''There has to be a point at which Dad comes home,' Carlson said. 'And when Dad gets home, you know what he says? 'You've been a bad girl. You've been a bad little girl, and you're getting a vigorous spanking right now.''

John Cena vows ‘there's no way' he'll return to WWE after shock retirement
John Cena has declared that he will never return to WWE after embarking on a retirement tour. The 48-year-old made history in April by becoming the most decorated wrestler in history, after taking home his record-breaking 17th championship win. Last year, he announced his decision to step away from competing for good following the end of his tour, with his last performances slated for December. During an appearance on Good Morning America to promote his new Amazon Prime movie, Heads of State, he lifted the lid on his time in front of the camera. 'I've been lifting and throwing folks for 25 years now,' he told host Michael Strahan. 'I wanted to do something that's never been done – six months before the tour, I announced my retirement. 'I said, for the year, I would perform in 36 states. We're halfway through, and I think nobody thought I was serious. 'Now that we're halfway through and people really understand that my last match is in December and it's time for me to move on, the audiences have been electric.' When the presenter asked if there was a 'slight chance' he could stage another return in the future, John insisted: 'There is no way. 'There is absolutely… I don't want to speak in absolutes, because I don't want to close any opportunity, but I made a promise to the fans who have allowed me to be here for a quarter of a century. They allowed me to sit with you today. 'I wouldn't want to disrespect them like that. This is an event, when people attend, it's very exclusive… 'I wouldn't want to ruin that just for selfish gain.' 'Speaking to a retired athlete, I think you intrinsically know when your instinct says, I'm a step slower,' he added. 'It's then just a battle of, 'How long do I fight those red flags before it could be counterproductive?' 'I still look good, I still feel good, I still feel like I can perform at a WWE level, but I also think it's time for me to step aside and let the young talent step forward.' The athlete-turned-actor stepped into the ring in the early 00s and has barely left the spotlight since, winning a string of championships in that time. He later turned his attention to Hollywood and has appeared in a string of films, including Daddy's Home, the Fast and Furious franchise, Suicide Squad, Ricky Stanicky and Barbie. More Trending Although he is retiring, John previously shared that he will still remain a staple of WWE, and will be serving as an ambassador in future. In a chat with Extra, he added: 'This is my final year in the WWE. I'm retiring this year. We're about halfway through, so I look forward to officially closing the book on in-ring competition.
