      Slapping people is manbaby behaviour. Particularly if it’s slapping people who are weaker. A real man doesn’t need to use his hands to earn respect. This was petulant and insecure behaviour in public and Turkiye loses face on the world stage as a result.

      The little kid showed more emotional maturity and self control than a fully grown adult here.

      So you’re saying it’s a culture of child abuse? Not just a shitty wannabe dictator’s behavior?

      Yeah, there are a lot of white people clutching pearls in here about non-white cultural norms.

        I don’t think it’s abhorrent, I think it’s weak. How is he so insecure that he reacts this badly to a little kid? The kid responded rationally, the president responded like a toddler.

        Kids should learn not to just slap someone if they don’t get their way. Adults are supposed to be more in control of their emotions than that. It looks weak and insecure.
