當地時間25日，白宮釋出了一段美國總統特朗普參加北約峰會的影片，諷刺的是，配樂和字幕用的是“爸爸回家了”。
The White House posted a video Wednesday night showing the US President Donald Trump attending the NATO summit this week to the soundtrack of R&B singer Usher's 2010 song Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home).
“爸爸”梗源於特朗普參加北約峰會時發生的一個小插曲。
特朗普25日在荷蘭海牙參加北約峰會期間被記者問及其爆粗口斥責以色列和伊朗違反停火協議一事。特朗普回答說：“他們大打出手，就像學校操場上的兩個孩子。他們打得不可開交，大家無法阻止他們。讓他們打個兩三分鐘，然後阻止他們會更容易。”在旁的北約秘書長呂特接話說：“爸爸有時不得不爆粗口。”
The post was in apparent reference to NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte appearing to call Trump "daddy" on Wednesday when asked about Trump's expletive-laced rebuke of Israel and Iran after the two countries risked upending a fragile ceasefire he had just helped broker.
"We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don't know what the f*ck they're doing," Trump said Tuesday as he left the White House for The Hague.
"Daddy has to sometimes use strong language," Rutte said, sitting beside Trump at the summit.
呂特這一言論引發媒體興趣。美國《政治報》稱，“爸爸”一詞已經成為一種俚語，用來表示關係中的權力和控制，特朗普似乎不介意呂特使用“爸爸”的說法。
當天晚些時候，有記者問特朗普北約秘書長稱呼他“爸爸”一事以及是否把北約盟友當作孩子時，特朗普說：“我認為他喜歡我……‘爸爸，你是我的爸爸’，呂特說這話時非常親切。” 此番言論讓在場的美國國務卿魯比奧和媒體記者笑出聲。
When asked Wednesday about Rutte calling him "daddy", Trump said: "He likes me."
"He did it very affectionately, 'Daddy, you're my daddy,'" Trump imitated.
據德國《南德意志報》網站6月26日報道，呂特使盡渾身解數，動用各種奉承手段，力圖使這次會議取得成功，向世界展示北約的團結。
在隨後接受路透社採訪時，呂特卻特別澄清了一點：“我沒叫他爸爸。”呂特在採訪中還表示：“在歐洲，我有時會聽到有國家問：‘嘿，馬克，美國會留在我們身邊嗎？’我就說，這聽起來有點像小孩在問爸爸：‘你會留在家裡嗎？’在這個語境下我使用了‘爸爸’這個詞，並不是說我管特朗普總統叫‘爸爸’。”
Rutte later tried to clarify that he did not mean to call Trump "daddy" but rather to liken Trump's relationship to Europe to that of a father figure. "What I said is that sometimes, in Europe, I hear sometimes countries saying, 'Hey, Mark, will the US stay with us?' And I said that sounds a little bit like a small child asking his daddy, 'Hey, are you still staying with the family?'"
