Peach Papa Trump Uses Usher Song In Lame NATO Recap Video, Social Media Demands Cease & Desist
Source: Xinhua News Agency / Getty Donald Trump has a long, sordid history of doing things without permission (read between the lines). The latest is Team Cheeto using Usher's song 'Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home),' in a lame propaganda video, shared by the official White House X (formerly known as Twitter) account, no less. The cheesy clip features footage of Trump's visit to the NATO Summit in the Hague, where NATO chief Mark Rutte, the Dutch secretary general of the military alliance, referred to the racist in chief as 'daddy' on Wednesday (June 26). 'And then daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get (them to) stop,' said Rutter after Trump went on a rant about Israel and Iran. That was all the administration needed to hear to try to seize the moment by turning it into this lame meme attempt. It's certainly going to spread far, but not for the reasons Trump is hoping for. The clip features Usher's song 'Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home),' from his 2010 Raymond v. Raymond album, prominently. And there is no question that the administration never bothered to ask for permission to use the song. So naturally, social media immediately called for a cease and desist on 'Ursher's' behalf. To be fair, considering Trump's alleged weaponization of the Department of Justice in his favor, Usher's lawyers may not want the smoke. However, the odds are certainly in their favor. Check out social media's reaction to the Trump administration's latest exercise in corniness in the gallery.

Trump posts a video using Usher's 'Hey Daddy' song
The caption draws lyrics from the R&B legend's 2009 hit song, from his "Raymond v. Raymond" album, that read, "When I walk in, all that I wanna hear is you say, "Daddy's home, home for me." The video features a recording of the song over the montage of Trump. In recent years, Usher's track has found newfound success as a popular sound on TikTok, used to score videos. During the full chorus, Usher sings, "And I know you've been waiting for this lovin' all day, You know your daddy's home and it's time to play, yeah; So you ain't got to give my lovin' away; So all my ladies, say, "Hey, hey, hey, daddy." Artists such as Beyonce, Isaac Hayes' estate, Celine Dion and the estate of Sinead O'Connor have all criticized Trump's use of their music in his promotional materials. 48 hours with Usher: Concert prep family time and what's next for the R&B icon The clip comes as Trump made an appearance at the NATO summit as global tensions escalate amid U.S. involvement the conflict between Iran and Israel. USA TODAY reached out to reps for Usher for comment. Last year, in September, Usher confirmed on an episode of "The View" that he was supporting Trump's opponent and former Vice President Kamala Harris in the November general election. "So you're supporting Kamala Harris in this election, I understand?" cohost Joy Behar asked to which Usher replied, "yes." The R&B singer -- who appeared on the daytime talk show one day after the debate between Trump and Harris and pop star Taylor Swift's endorsement of the latter -- didn't delve too deep into his own specific policy stances. "You know what? I don't get too deep into politics. I didn't get a chance to watch the debate last night. I obviously have been watching like everybody else. I think voting is an individual choice," he told the panel, adding also that "how you highlight and how you choose to highlight it on whatever platform you have is your prerogative."
