White House Leans Into Trump’s “Daddy’s Home” Nickname with Catchy NATO Summit Video

The White House jumped on a viral social media moment Thursday, capitalizing on President Donald Trump’s new “Daddy” nickname with a slick video showcasing his appearance at the NATO Summit. The moniker, coined in jest by NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte during a press interaction about the Israel-Iran ceasefire, sparked online buzz that the White House was quick to embrace.

Set to the beat of Usher’s 2010 hit “Hey Daddy,” the one-minute clip opens with Trump stepping off Air Force One after returning from the summit in The Hague, Netherlands. It features highlights of his engagements with NATO leaders, capturing the energy of the high-stakes gathering. The White House captioned the video: “Daddy’s home. Hey, hey, hey, Daddy. President Donald Trump attended the NATO Summit in The Hague, Netherlands.”

The summit unfolded against the backdrop of the recent Israel-Iran ceasefire, secured after 12 days of intense conflict, with Trump claiming a pivotal role in its resolution. Speaking alongside Rutte, Trump described the Iran-Israel tensions as akin to “two kids fighting in a school” during a media session, a comment that underscored the ceasefire’s prominence at the summit.
