NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte is so unwilling to discuss whether President Donald Trump is going to leave the alliance that he would rather return to his unfortunate comment from months ago, when he referred to the president as “daddy.”
Rutte was speaking at the Reagan Institute on Thursday, following his White House meeting the previous day, when a reporter asked him if Trump indicated whether he would stay in NATO — as well as if he would continue to call him “daddy” if he exits the alliance.
“On the ‘daddy thing,’ this is a language problem,” Rutte immediately jumped to explain. “I have to explain to you because it follows me a little bit, I can assure you.”
Rutte made headlines in June of last year when he reacted to Trump’s comment that Israel and Iran were “two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the f*** they’re doing.”

The press immediately seized on the bizarre choice of words, and soon the president was sharing in the joke when he said at a press conference: “I think [Rutte] likes me. If he doesn’t, I’ll let you know, and I’ll hit him hard. He did it very affectionately — ‘Daddy, you’re my daddy.’”

Wutts a Rutte? A Butt?
I’m sure Trump enjoys that particular Nickname.
It re-establishes the Pecking Order of the American President being the Alpha figure.
If he was smart he’s say: “If Trump was my daddy I’d run away!”
