At the NATO Summit on Wednesday, June 25, the world’s elite were gathered to talk about big budgets and bigger threats. It was in The Hague, a major political city in the Netherlands, where NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte gave President Trump a new nickname. He crowned Orange Man Bad as a “daddy” over two warring nations.
Yes, usually it’s Trump who is handing out the nicknames. But this time around, the president was on the receiving end – and it wasn’t the usual “dictator” or “Nazi” or “Hitler” nickname that the left in America gives him.
After Trump was talking about Israel and Iran fighting each other, he said in a press conference with Rutte sitting next to him, “They’ve had a big fight, like two kids in a school yard. They fight like hell, you can’t stop them. Let them fight for about two, three minutes, then it’s easier to stop them.”
Rutte responded with the humorous remark, “Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,” referring to Trump recently using the F-bomb to admonish both countries on initially breaking the ceasefire.
Trump later said about Rutte, “I think he likes me. ‘Daddy, you’re my daddy…” Trump said with a grin – which made the international press corps and Secretary of State Marco Rubio laugh. Trump added, “He (Rutte) did it very affectionately.”
So, just like that, Trump goes from “Orange Man Bad” to being the “daddy” over Israel and Iran. And while the Democrat brain trust melts down over a four-letter word, maybe they should think about the fact that if they spent less time firing up their false outrage machine and more time being pro-American representatives, they wouldn’t need a daddy to clean up a foreign policy mess that they helped create.
