Some Conservatives Keep Awkwardly Calling Trump 'Daddy.' Experts Weigh In On What's Behind It.
"A number of prominent conservatives have made it a point to publicly refer to President Donald Trump as “daddy.” While the nickname has been derided by many as cringey and weird, it might actually tell us something about Trump’s political style, how his supporters view him and how people overall may at times assess political figures, according to experts.
On Friday, actor Mel Gibson was asked during an appearance on the Fox News show “Hannity” to weigh in on Trump’s recent visit to California amid the wildfires (Gibson, a California resident, lost his home in Malibu) when he bizarrely said, “I’m glad Trump’s here at the moment. It’s like daddy arrived, and he’s taking his belt off, you know?”
And conservative lawmakers such as Reps. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) have also readily given Trump the moniker. During an appearance on Fox News last week, Donalds listed off things he expects Trump to do during his second term, saying that the country will get the “stability that we were asking for.”"
