Trump 'daddy' shirt with his mugshot is for sale, latest riff of NATO leader's comment
President Donald Trump's supporters can now purchase a shirt that labels Trump as "daddy" following comments from a NATO leader. NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte later said he wasn't talking about Trump specifically when he said "daddy has to sometimes use strong language." But the Trump world has seized on the moment, releasing a video of Trump set to "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" by Usher on June 25. Now, they're selling "Daddy" merch, too. The Trump War Room, run by Trump's campaign operation, posted June 26 on X a shirt with Trump's mugshot that says "Daddy" in bold letters underneath. His mugshot was taken following his 2023 arrest in Georgia on charges alleging he tried to overturn the 2020 election results. (He pleaded not guilty, and the case is currently facing delays.) The shirts are on sale for $35 and the Win Red website indicates they are available in a limited quantity. More: T1 Phone latest golden accessory from Trump world after sneakers, seatbelts and tweezers Sizzle reel shows Trump at NATO summit set to 'Hey Daddy' by Usher Trump was in the Netherlands for the NATO Summit on June 24 and 25. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Chief of Staff Susie Wiles also traveled with him. The alliance of 32 countries agreed to increase their defense spending, which Trump has called a win. But the "daddy" comment seems to have overshadowed much of the Summit news. The shirt follows a video created by the White House and posted on social media. The video is something of a sizzle reel is set to "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)" by Usher. The song is frequently used in TikTok videos, often as the background of flirtatious or sexualized videos of men. Who called Trump 'daddy?' NATO Secretary Mark Rutte used the word "daddy," but he denied that he used it to describe Trump. "Daddy has to sometimes use strong language," Rutte said. On his way to the summit, Trump cursed when talking about the Iran-Israel ceasefire, which appeared to be on shaky ground at the time. Rutte said at a later press conference he was using "daddy" to refer to U.S. leadership in general, explaining that he views how some European countries talk about the U.S as a child-parent relationship. Mark Rutte's message to Trump: 'It will be your win' NATO leaders were generally complimentary of Trump in hopes that Trump would agree to their mutual defense principle. The praise started before the summit, with a text from Rutte to Trump that the president later posted on social media. "Donald, you have driven us to a really, really, important moment for America and Europe, and the world," Rutte's message read. "Safe travels and see you at His Majesty's dinner!" NATO Summit recap: Alliance gives Trump higher spending NATO stands for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, a security alliance of 32 countries from North America and Europe. The NATO Summit happens at key moments for the alliance rather than on regular periods. The last summit was held in Washington, D.C., in July 2024. NATO leaders on June 25 endorsed higher defense spending that Trump has demanded. "We reaffirm our ironclad commitment to collective defense as enshrined in Article 5 of the Washington Treaty – that an attack on one is an attack on all," the brief communique stated, according to Reuters.

Trump Mobile drops ‘Made in USA' label amid China copycat concerns
Trump Mobile has removed the 'Made in the USA' label for an upcoming smartphone from its website, sparking renewed speculation over whether the $499 T1 device is a rebranded Chinese model. Launched by the Trump Organization on June 16, the company now says the T1 phone is 'designed with American values in mind.' The change was first flagged by The Verge on Wednesday and confirmed through archived captures. The T1 8002 is currently described as 'brought to life right here in the USA,' replacing earlier claims of domestic manufacturing. The phone's specifications were also changed, including a screen size drop, and the September 2025 shipping date has also been removed. The changes appear to have been made after industry analysts questioned whether the US has the capacity to produce the device. Todd Weaver, the CEO of US-based smartphone manufacturer Purism, told CNN last week that building a secure, scalable phone production line in the US would take years, and that even his company, which sells a $1,999 'Made in the USA' phone, sources some components from abroad. 'Unless the Trump family secretly built out a secure, onshore or nearshore operation… it's simply not possible. There are areas where you're going to still need a global supply chain,' he said, citing a crystal in Purism's GPS chip that is made in China. Max Weinbach of Creative Strategies noted similarities between the T1 and the Revvl 7 Pro 5G, a $169 phone made by China's Wingtech. 'There are only four or five smartphone ODMs that could manufacture this – and they're all in China,' he said, referring to 'original device manufacturers' – companies that design and make products based on the specifications of another company. 'It is likely that this device will be initially produced by a Chinese ODM,' Blake Przesmicki, an analyst at Counterpoint Research, told CNBC. Eric Trump – who now co-leads the Trump Organization – effectively acknowledged that the phones are not currently made in the US. In an interview last week, he said, 'eventually all the [Trump] phones will be built in the USA,' while avoiding any direct claim of domestic production. Eric Trump: 'Eventually all the Trump phones will be built in the USA.'Translation: They're not built in America. And there's no real plan to change that anytime Company spokesman Chris Walker, however, told USA Today on Wednesday that 'the T1 phones are proudly being made in America,' and dismissed speculation to the contrary as 'simply inaccurate.' The news comes amid President Donald Trump's push to boost domestic manufacturing. Trump imposed sweeping tariffs on trading partners earlier this year, citing unfair trade imbalances and saying the move would provide an 'incentive for re-shoring production to the US.' China was hit hardest, and the two sides engaged in a tit-for-tat tariff war that paused after a preliminary deal earlier this month until a final trade agreement, which is expected by August 10.

Trump Mobile drops ‘Made in USA' smartphone claims from website
The T1 Phone is priced at US$499 (S$636), putting it in the mid-range of smartphones. PHOTO: AFP NEW YORK – Trump Mobile, the new cellular service venture introduced by the Trump Organisation last week, has scrubbed online references that originally promised its first mobile handset, the T1 Phone, would be produced in the United States. As reported by the Verge on June 25, the Trump Mobile website quietly removed language stating that the smartphone – due later in 2025 – is 'made in the USA'. Instead, the page now includes less specific wording that says the T1 Phone has been 'designed with American values in mind'. According to the description, the T1 Phone is 'brought to life right here in the USA' and 'with American hands behind every device'. But the website no longer asserts that it will be manufactured domestically. The device's hardware specifications have also changed. Originally, Trump Mobile advertised the T1 Phone as having a 17.2cm screen, but that has now been adjusted to a slightly smaller 15.9cm. The website promised 'a sleek, gold smartphone engineered for performance and proudly designed and built in the United States for customers who expect the best from their mobile carrier'. In a statement to USA Today, Trump Mobile spokesman Chris Walker rebutted the idea that production plans have changed. 'T1 phones are proudly being made in America,' Mr Walker said, adding that 'speculation to the contrary is simply inaccurate.' The T1 Phone is priced at US$499 (S$636), putting it in the mid-range of smartphones, and customers can pre-order the device by putting down a US$100 deposit. Trump Mobile's monthly phone service, dubbed the 47 Plan, costs US$47.45, a reference to Trump's two presidential terms, and includes unlimited talk and text with 20 gigabytes of high-speed data. The service will use network capabilities from all three major US carriers: T-Mobile US, Verizon Communications and AT&T.
