"Rutte let out a long Ohhhhh, as Burns prodded, Daddy issues? No, and this is the thing. We had the NATO Summit in The Hague, and Donald Trump, the President, and I had a meeting before, and there was a press spray. And that was exactly on the morning after the day where he took out the nuclear facilities in Iran, Rutte began, adding: And I was very happy with that, and I complimented him on doing that through the B-2s. And it was when he was also having some arguments with the Israelis. And then I saidand here is my insufficient command of the English languageI said, Daddy sometimes has to be tough."
"And of course, later realizing that the word daddy has a lot of connotations. Then what he didand this is to his credit because he is a fun guy and he has a lot of humorthe American side then put this on T-shirts. There was a video when he came back from The Hague Summit where he said, Daddy is home. So there it was born, and it was never intentioned. But again, I'm now carrying it, living with it. It's a fact of life. Now he's Daddy."
Mark Rutte dismissed the idea that President Donald Trump's Greenland threat weakened NATO, saying NATO is the strongest since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Rutte recounted a meeting at the NATO Summit in The Hague held the morning after U.S. action against Iranian nuclear facilities, praising the use of B-2s. Rutte described telling Trump, with imperfect English, that 'Daddy sometimes has to be tough.' The phrase gained traction when Americans turned it into T-shirts and a video of Trump saying 'Daddy is home' circulated, leaving the nickname in popular use.
