Jesse Watters Sparks Outrage After Calling Trump ‘Politically Jacked’ in Bizarre Fox News Rant
Fox News host Jesse Watters is raising eyebrows once again — and this time, it’s all about dad strength.
On Monday’s episode of “The Five,” Watters delivered what many are calling a cringeworthy ode to Donald Trump, comparing the former president’s political prowess to that of a father’s unexpected physical power. The moment came as a response to a video Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) posted, in which the congressman criticized Republicans for bailing on Congress early for summer recess — allegedly to avoid a vote on the Epstein files.
But instead of addressing the concerns raised, Watters went full MAGA-fanboy.
“Trump is politically jacked,” Watters declared, dismissing Swalwell’s gym video. “People respect you for doing things that are hard and lifting things that are heavy. Trump has real strength — Swalwell is trying to look strong, and that’s the difference.”
It didn’t end there. Things took a strange, borderline Freudian turn when Watters said, “Trump golfs. He has dad strength… You know, dad strength? He doesn’t look like he’s in shape, but then he grabs you — one time my father grabbed me, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this guy is stronger than I am!’”
The internet recoiled.
Critics were quick to point out the bizarre hero worship laced with patriarchal undertones — especially as it echoed earlier comments from Tucker Carlson, who in a 2024 Trump rally speech likened the former president to a violent father scolding the nation’s “naughty children.”
“Daddy Trump” has become a full-blown MAGA phenomenon — with figures like Rep. Lauren Boebert, Rep. Byron Donalds, and even disgraced actor Mel Gibson embracing the authoritarian dad persona.
Dr. Jane Junn, a political science and gender expert at USC, says the trend is no accident. “This is deeply rooted in a yearning for patriarchal, authoritarian control,” she explained. “It’s about throwing back to a time when daddy was in charge, and no one questioned it.”
Whether meant to be endearing or not, Watters’ comments have once again stirred debate over the cult of personality surrounding Trump — and whether some supporters are simply taking the “father figure” thing a little too far.
