What is he then?
I argue that "as a patriarchal and authoritarian masculine protectionist persona who enforces obedience through punishment, Trump is a dominating and paternalistic authoritarian Dad.
But I guess this doesn't have as good of a ring to it as 'Daddy Don'."

He's also definitely NOT a State Daddy:
"The State Daddy is defined by collective responsibility, empathy and provision of social programs whereas Strongman leaders like Trump are self-interested, hyper-individualist, aggressive and seek to gut public services."

...That this term has been used overwhelmingly by men to refer to Trump makes explicit the homosocial nature of a homophobic administration."

I also point out the irony of their use and embrace of this term:
"That a conservative and queerphobic administration is now borrowing language from the same communities whose rights it is actively working to erode is an interesting juxtaposition...

![What is a “State Daddy”?
Before discussing the traits of a “State Daddy”, it is worthwhile to explore the origins and connotations of the term “daddy”. The term originated in US working-class Black LGBTQIA+ communities (Schaufert 2018), but this “black gay vernacular” has since spread to broader LGBTQIA+ and kink communities (Rodríguez 2014). Examining the use of the term in queer BDSM communities, Rodríguez (2014, 58) identifies how it functions during sexual play as a “convenient and portable [label] to describe gendered relations of care”, outlining the power dynamics of a sexual relationship. Daddies can possess power to either (consensually) punish and discipline or inspire admiration and love, yet are ultimately responsible for the care of their partners. It is a term of endearment—Daddies are “nurturing, caring, guiding” and are therefore looked upon as mentors, role models, and providers (Franklin et al. 2020, 11). The identity is not dependent on parental status—Daddies roleplay an idealised father figure, combining paternal care and responsibility with the “authority of a dominant sexual partner” (Schaufert 2018).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:fpgmd6cgy45otadabybewefw/bafkreigtemevxxr6psfhlhco3kjalwanaumrwhazvvxpzgg6x7igd6t3qu)

As the person who theorised "State Daddies", I need to firmly reiterate that Trump is NOT a Daddy.
His dominating, paternalistic masculinity is the antithesis of the State Daddy, which is compassionate, caring and inspires hope.

Albo's concluding statement is literally channelling State Daddy - speaking about the ALP's platform of childcare, health care and aged care as well as centring women's issues and gender equality.
