    There is and it's not quite at the level all these headlines are making it sound like. He says something like "daddy has to use his authority" or something like that. Still bad but these headlines make it sound like he was groveling in a gimp suit.

    I did understand from the article that it was said as a joke. It's just... A fucking weird joke.

      So cringe seeing Europeans debase themselves over Trump.

        Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte told reporters at the summit in the Hague that President Donald Trump was like a "daddy" intervening in a schoolyard fight.

        That is just… a comical level of misrepresentation of the nature and context of Rutte’s commentary.

            They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard. You know, they fight like hell, you can't stop them. Let them fight for about two to three minutes, then it's easy to stop them," he said at a press conference.

            Rutte laughed and added: "And then daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get (them to) stop."

              Having a ceasefire just because this guy tweets "Ceasefire on! No takesy-backsies!" Is like debt collectors forgiving your credit history if you shout, "I declare bankruptcy!"

                I mean, that's fucking weird though. If I said that shit at work I'd get a talking to from HR.

                      He is Dutch. I think he did not fully understand the connotations that the word "daddy" has in English. If you made the same joke in Dutch it is still weird, but it feels/sounds less degrading to oneself. It would be more like saying that someone is the wisest or the adult in the situation.
