"President Peña of Paraguay is here.... Young, handsome guy. It’s always nice to be young and handsome."

"Doesn’t mean we have to like you. I don’t like young, handsome men. Women, I like. Men, I don’t have any interest."

Said Trump — at the Board of Peace event yesterday — quoted by The Daily Mail in "CNN host caught in hot-mic anti-Trump slip up as her colleagues rush to cover for her."

The inane headline refers to the way Sara Sidnar, on hearing that quote, said — and this is the whole quote from her — "What?"

Is that even anti-Trump?! Doesn't everyone say or at least think something along the lines of "What?" when they hear that?

I think we can hope for a lip synch from Bransen Gates. It's excellent material for him:

Trump would like to be even more effusive in his female impersonation.

Strip away the context and it's fun for all:

"In politics, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama were, and maybe still are, daddies. A daddy-in-training is New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani..."

"... who Gates says 'hasn’t aged into daddyhood' quite yet. What all daddies have in common is the notion of or desire for a power imbalance — a dynamic at play in real and metaphoric, honorific paternal relationships.... Milo Yiannopoulos... began calling Trump daddy in 2017. At an October 2024 rally, speaking before Trump took the stage, Tucker Carlson compared Americans to naughty little girls who have misbehaved. 'When Dad gets home, you know what he says? You’ve been a bad girl. You’ve been a bad little girl and you’re getting a vigorous spanking right now,' Carlson told the crowd, in perhaps one of the creepiest moments of the campaign. 'And no, it’s not going to hurt me more than it hurts you.' 'Daddy’s Home' shirts featuring Trump and the White House began circulating on Etsy shortly after his November win... We seem to have entered a deeply submissive era. Everyone is being well-behaved for Daddy, lest they be spanked.... But power and wealth are not all that a true daddy possesses....."

Writes Maura Judkis, in "Who’s your daddy? These days, who isn’t? Mack daddy, leather daddy, sugar daddy, Daddy Trump: The fraught and Freudian journey of a domineering archetype" (WaPo).

Gates = Bransen Gates, an Instagrammer who lipsynchs to Trump audio and demonstrates, comically, that Trump was born to be a gay man.

Perhaps you, like me, remember the phrase "Daddy's Home" as the title of a lovely doowop song from 1961 by Shep & the Limelites, so: here.

Even better:
