While the article is colorfully written with language that could be biased without sources to verify whether the writing is accurate, the main issue that makes this 'troubling news' is in the first paragraph: "Trump reveled in gushing praise from leaders in The Hague -- including being called "daddy" by alliance chief Mark Rutte -- and a pledge to boost defense spending as he had demanded." This paragraph is also used as the blurb for the article. The troubling part is the repetition of the information that President Trump said he was called "daddy," which, while technically true, was not spoken in the way that the President nor this article intend it to come off. According to Mark Rutte himself, he did not call Trump "daddy," but rather was using the term more metaphorically to describe the relationship between the U.S. and other nations. The interaction has been used as an amusing joke, but the misrepresentation is becoming misinformation as sources like this article reference it as pure fact without clarification or citation.
