Trump Embraces "Daddy" Nickname at NATO While Firing Insults at NY Candidate and Sparring with Iran

Show Notes
Transcript

Donald Trump leaned into the “Daddy” nickname after NATO’s Mark Rutte dropped it at a summit—then used his social media to attack NYC’s Democratic mayoral nominee as a “Communist Lunatic.” Meanwhile, Iran’s Supreme Leader claimed victory after a missile strike, despite U.S. reports of severe damage. From awkward nicknames to international drama, Trump stayed busy... even on a summer Saturday night.

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:10.000
Callaroga Shark Media from Washington, d C. Where we're creeped

2
00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:11.640
out by Trump's new nickname.

3
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.880
This is ballot a personal note to President Trump. Bomb

4
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:18.800
stuff during the week, not on Saturday nights in the summer.

5
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.640
I'd like to actually use my Hampton's house for once.

6
00:00:21.879 --> 00:00:22.480
Let's hit this.

7
00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:28.839
So Donald Trump has a new nickname, and no it's

8
00:00:28.920 --> 00:00:32.159
not Commander in Chief or mister President. The man who

9
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:36.119
gave us Crooked Hillary and Sleepy Joe is now embracing

10
00:00:36.159 --> 00:00:40.119
being called daddy. The White House actually posted a video

11
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:44.000
of Trump at the NATO summit set to ushers, Hey, daddy,

12
00:00:44.119 --> 00:00:47.759
Daddy's home. I mean, when your presidential playlist includes Usher

13
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:51.079
singing about daddy coming home, maybe it's time to reassess

14
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:55.240
your brand strategy. This all started when NATO's Secretary General

15
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:59.320
Mark Ruda called Trump daddy during a press conference, and

16
00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:03.000
Trump's reponse he loved it, he said, Ruda did it

17
00:01:03.200 --> 00:01:05.680
very affectionately and even did it an impression.

18
00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:08.480
Daddy, you're my daddy. Now.

19
00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:10.799
Ruta tried to walk it back, saying he was just

20
00:01:10.879 --> 00:01:12.599
comparing Trump to a father.

21
00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.680
Figure for Europe. Sure, Mark, we've all been there.

22
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:18.519
You accidentally call your boss daddy in front of the

23
00:01:18.519 --> 00:01:21.599
international press corps and then have to explain it wasn't weird.

24
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.159
But here's the thing, this isn't Trump's first rodeo with

25
00:01:25.200 --> 00:01:28.640
the daddy nickname. Golfer John Daley has been calling him

26
00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.959
daddy since nineteen ninety two. Nineteen ninety two. That's thirty

27
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:35.640
three years of daddy energy right there. And Tucker Carlson

28
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:38.719
once compared Trump to a dad coming home to discipline America,

29
00:01:39.159 --> 00:01:42.879
which he described as a hormone adduled fifteen year old daughter.

30
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:46.879
I don't know what's more disturbing that metaphor or the

31
00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:49.680
fact that someone thought it was a good campaign strategy.

32
00:01:50.200 --> 00:01:52.760
But you have to admire Trump's commitment to the bit.

33
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.799
Most politicians would run from a daddy nickname faster than

34
00:01:56.799 --> 00:01:58.640
they'd run from a microphone malfunction.

35
00:01:59.040 --> 00:01:59.640
Not Trump.

36
00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:02.400
He's leaning into it harder than a dad joke at

37
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:06.560
a barbecue. So New York just picked their Democratic mayoral nominee,

38
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.680
and Donald Trump is having what you might call a

39
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:13.719
measured presidential response. Trump called Zorn Mamdanni a one hundred

40
00:02:13.719 --> 00:02:17.520
percent communist lunatic and said he looks terrible and has

41
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:18.520
a grating voice.

42
00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:20.199
You know you've made.

43
00:02:19.960 --> 00:02:22.280
It in politics when the President of the United States

44
00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:25.599
is critiquing your vocal cords on social media. That's like

45
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:28.800
getting a Yelp review from Gordon Ramsey about your appearance.

46
00:02:29.639 --> 00:02:31.159
But here's what's fascinating.

47
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:35.719
Mam Donnie's actual response was basically, Hey, Trump, maybe google

48
00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:39.159
my policies before you call me a communist, which is

49
00:02:39.319 --> 00:02:41.960
very polite for someone who just got called a lunatic

50
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.000
by the leader of the free world. Mam Donnie wants

51
00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.319
to create city owned grocery stores to make New York

52
00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:50.840
more affordable. And honestly, if you've ever bought a banana

53
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.599
in Manhattan for seven dollars, a city owned grocery store

54
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:58.120
doesn't sound communist. It sounds like basic survival. Trump wrote

55
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:01.000
that Democrats have crossed the line with this. Pick the

56
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:05.039
line as if there's some invisible boundary in American politics

57
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:07.800
that says you can have your radical lefties but not

58
00:03:08.000 --> 00:03:08.960
too radical.

59
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:12.479
Where is this line? Is it marked? Does it move?

60
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.000
But my favorite part is that Mamdani said he'd be

61
00:03:16.120 --> 00:03:19.840
willing to work with Trump on lowering prices. That's like

62
00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:22.319
offering to help the guy who just called you a

63
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:26.199
communist lunatic with his homework. Hey, I know you think

64
00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:29.560
I'm crazy, but want to team up on inflation and

65
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:33.000
Trump's criticism that Mamdani is not very smart. This from

66
00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.560
a man who once suggested we knew hurricanes. That's like

67
00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:40.639
getting called unqualified by someone who lists very stable genius

68
00:03:40.919 --> 00:03:48.719
on their own resume. So Iran Supreme Leader Ayatola Ali

69
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:51.280
Kamene finally emerged from his bunker to give us his

70
00:03:51.319 --> 00:03:54.400
take on recent events, and his message was basically, we

71
00:03:54.479 --> 00:03:58.439
totally won that fight. Kamene said, Iran delivered a slap

72
00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.759
to America's face by striking a US air base in Qatar,

73
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:05.879
a slap. That's the most polite way to describe an

74
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.520
international missile attack. I've ever heard What's Next describing nuclear

75
00:04:10.560 --> 00:04:13.000
warfare as giving someone a stern talking to.

76
00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:14.960
But here's the thing.

77
00:04:15.639 --> 00:04:19.680
Trump said, the attack on Iran's nuclear facilities completely and

78
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.959
fully obliterated their nuclear program. Meanwhile, Kamene says the US

79
00:04:25.000 --> 00:04:29.639
that could not achieve anything significant. So either someone's lying

80
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:34.040
or we have very different definitions of obliteration. The UN

81
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.360
Nuclear Watchdog said the damage to Iran's facilities.

82
00:04:37.079 --> 00:04:41.519
Is very, very, very considerable. That's three varies.

83
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:46.120
In diplomatic speak, three various means yeah, it's pretty messed up.

84
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.519
The guy literally said he assumes the centrifuges aren't working anymore,

85
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.720
which is like assuming your car won't start after it's

86
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.680
been hit by a meteor. Kamene also claimed the US

87
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.920
only got involved to save Israel from being utterly destroyed, right,

88
00:05:01.079 --> 00:05:04.120
because nothing says saving your ally like letting them fight

89
00:05:04.199 --> 00:05:08.160
for twelve days first and then stepping in. That's like

90
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:10.120
being the friend who shows up to help you move

91
00:05:10.160 --> 00:05:13.759
after you've already loaded the truck. The Supreme Leader appeared

92
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.759
more tired than usual and was speaking in a hoarse voice.

93
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:18.360
Gee, I wonder why.

94
00:05:19.160 --> 00:05:21.240
Maybe it's because he's been hiding in a bunker for

95
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:25.439
nearly two weeks. Nothing ages you quite like dodging international

96
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:29.279
air strikes. Iran's parliament is now fast tracking a proposal

97
00:05:29.319 --> 00:05:32.800
to stop cooperating with nuclear inspectors. That's like failing a

98
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.079
test and then refusing to let the teacher grade it.

99
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:37.879
You can't give me an f if you can't see

100
00:05:37.879 --> 00:05:38.399
my paper.

101
00:05:39.519 --> 00:05:42.519
But my favorite detail is that Iran warned the US

102
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:46.879
in advance about their retaliatory attack. That's the most considerate

103
00:05:46.920 --> 00:05:50.199
act of war I've ever heard of. Hey, just a

104
00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:52.680
heads up, we're going to slap your face tomorrow around

105
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:56.199
three point thirty. Hope that works for everyone's schedule. Portions
