MODERATORS
 

Referring to Trump as “Daddy” has become quite the thing among conservatives. Reps. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) have both done so. Right-wing internet personality Charlie Kirk called him “dad.”

Former Fox News personality Tucker Carlson has likened Trump to an angry dad going to give “a bad girl” a “vigorous spanking” and actor Mel Gibson said Trump’s return to office is “like daddy arrived and he’s taking his belt off.”
