The Trump White House on Wednesday shared a highlights reel montage promoting President Donald Trump’s recent trip to the NATO summit in The Netherlands, which was set to R&B star Usher’s 2010 song “Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home).”
The track choice appeared to refer to NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s line about “Daddy” discipline — while talking about the Iran and Israel cease-fire — during a press conference with Trump.
“Daddy has to sometimes use strong language,” Rutte said, an apparent response to Trump’s “they don’t know what the fuck they’re doing” comment after the cease-fire between the two countries briefly collapsed earlier this week.
On X, the White House captioned the Trump-Usher video: “Daddy’s home… Hey, hey, hey, Daddy,” which are lyrics in the song.
Usher has not publicly commented on the use of his song. A representative did not immediately respond to HuffPost’s request for comment.
