Overview

• The White House released a video titled 'Daddy's Home' set to Usher’s song, showcasing Trump’s appearance at the NATO summit and drawing mixed reactions on social media.
• The montage riffs on NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte’s comment calling the president “daddy,” which he later said was a metaphor for U.S. leadership support.
• Summit attendees agreed to boost defense spending to 5% of GDP by 2035, a major victory for Trump’s push for greater European burden-sharing.
• Trump had brokered a ceasefire between Iran and Israel before accusing both sides of violating it and likening their clash to schoolyard brawling, saying they did not “know what the f*** they’re doing.”
• The president is selling 'DADDY' merchandise, including $35 orange T-shirts featuring his mugshot, to capitalize on the viral moment for campaign fundraising.
