People left gobsmacked after White House posts bizarre video in response to NATO chief calling Trump 'daddy'

The Donald Trump 'daddy' video may have just become the biggest meme of the year so far

A new video posted by The White House on social media has been described as 'cringe'.

Donald Trump has recently returned home to the US after a brief trip to Europe for this year's NATO summit in the Netherlands.

While there, the president paid a visit to see King Willem and Queen Maxima, something which may not have gone to plan for the Dutch royals in light of the queen seemingly mocking Trump.

Away from this, during the summit itself there was an unusual moment between Trump and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte where he seemingly referred to the businessman-turned-politician as 'daddy'.

His comments came after Trump addressed his explosive rant about Israel and Iran, telling reporters that the the two countries don't know 'what the f**k they are doing'.

Addressing this at the summit when grilled by reporters, Trump said: "They've had a big fight, like two kids in a schoolyard. You know, they fight like hell. You can't stop it. Let them fight for about two, three minutes, then it's easy to stop them."

Also weighing in on the matter, Rutte added: "And then Daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get it stopped."

Rutte has since insisted that he did not call the president 'daddy', but the White House is well and truly rolling with Trump's apparent new moniker.

In a video montage shared to the White House's official social media pages, Trump's brief visit to the Netherlands is played out in a series of clips along to Usher's 2010 song 'Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)'.

The unusual video has received a mixed response online with some calling it 'cringe' while others seemingly enjoyed the tongue-in-cheek post about the president.

"Ok that’s weird," one critic said on Twitter. Agreeing, a second person said: "I refuse to believe this is the real White House account."

"What did I just watch," questioned someone else, while a different person suggested it was shared from a parody account.

Both others were less critical, with one even suggested that the person who made the bizarre montage should get a raise.

Somebody else echoed: "Absolutely epic! Whoever runs this page deserves a raise."

"This is the funniest White House ever," chuckled another.

Another fan of the White House's content said: "Whoever is running these accounts/producing content. Kudos."
