Trump and his defence boss have created a 'cult of personality'
Hegseth and Trump's approach to the media has been 'reminiscent of a cult'.
The White House has released a video featuring former President Donald Trump, titled 'Daddy's Home'. The video shows Trump arriving at a formal building, walking on a red carpet, and ascending a staircase, set to an upbeat musical track. This title directly references a recent remark by NATO's Secretary General Mark Rutte. According to reports, Rutte praised Trump, stating, 'Sometimes daddy has to use strong words,' in connection with Trump's use of an expletive on live television regarding alleged ceasefire violations in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. The video's release by the White House underscores the administration's engagement with the public perception of the former president and his interactions with international figures.
