In the latest twist from the political stage, NATO’s top brass found themselves in amusing terrain, referring to Donald Trump as “daddy.” And while his critics may giggle and roll their eyes, this tells us something crucial about Trump’s undeniable impact on the global stage. Democrats can sneer and scoff, but our NATO allies seem to recognize the strong leadership that America brings to the table under Trump.
Trump walks into the NATO summit with Iran and Israel feuding like two squabbling kids in a schoolyard. Rather than making empty promises or bowing to globalist pressures, he knows sometimes a stern word and strong action are what’s necessary to restore order. The Americans under Trump no longer play nice when threats to world peace loom; they’re no longer the babysitter. Trump addresses these nuclear threats with the strong hand of a father guiding his children, just like his peers at NATO have suggested, albeit awkwardly.
Let’s not ignore the importance of “daddy” Donald making strides towards mending the volatile rift between Israel and Iran. The Middle East has long been a quagmire of conflict, spurred on by liberal policies of weakness and appeasement. Conservatives understand that lasting peace sometimes means you have to be firm—a concept the left has infamously failed to grasp.
'Sometimes daddy has to use strong language.'

While President Biden would likely throw out a lecture on climate change or issue an apologetic bow, Trump knows the language of strength. Critics want to paint Trump as a brash bully, but under his leadership, the U.S. has seen restored respect on a global scale, strengthening relations with allies who now, nervously or not, acknowledge America’s prowess.
The real question isn’t whether Trump’s approach offends genteel sensibilities. The real question is: why hasn’t the left learned that coddling adversaries only invites more conflict?
