That Mark Rutte is delighted with Donald Trump is no secret. First, the US president published a conversation with Routte, NATO general secretary in networks a few days ago, in which he flattened him to levels – for many – embarrassing for the attack of the United States to Iran.
Then, already during the framework of the NATO Summit in The Hague, Routte and Trump appeared on Wednesday in a relaxed way before the press. While the American tried to explain that he saw the conflict between Israel and Iran as “two children in the courtyard of the school” to whom they have to let them stick for a while before calming each other, the NATO secretary general bought the argument, and apostille: “Sometimes, daddy has to use strong language”(Sometimes, Papi has to use strong language).
The phrase caused the laugh of some press conference attendees, and the thing was not there. In another subsequent appearance of Donald Trump before the media, a Sky News journalist asked him: “Mark Rutte has called him Dad; do you see NATO allies as a kind of children?” Trump replied that Routte is his friend: “He liked it, I think he liked it, he has done it with love … 'Dad, you are my dad'”. In the background, not even Marco Rubio, US secretary of state, could endure laughter.
And again, the matter has not been there. This morning, the official White House account has published –In networks and on its official website– A video of Trump's arrival at the NATO summit that might seem parody, but it is not. It is largely the title 'Daddy's Home' (Dad's house) and is accompanied by Usher's song with that same name.
Somewhere there is something you need to read.
