    Oh FFS, he did not slap that kid. Did he touch his face to correct behavior, I’d say yes. But this was not a slap.

      So kissing his had is appropriate behavior? Erdodan is not a king and is not the Pope. He can fuck right off with “correcting behavior”

      That’s literally the definition of a slap. If he hit him particularly hard or not doesn’t change that it was a slap. He used his open palm to hit him. It’s a slap.

      It was gentle, yes, but Erdogan showed no self restraint whatsoever and just slapped the kid straight away. He didn’t even think about it. The kid showed more emotional maturity and self restraint in public than Erdogan did. Turkiye loses face internationally if it’s president can’t control his insecurity in public.
