    I’ve watched it too. The image it paints is of someone who has no concept of how children actually behave, presumably because he’s never had a reason to spend time with them before.

    It’s not about needing to helicopter over the kid. If I was with a friend and we were walking somewhere together I’d pay more attention to them than that. That kind of full back turned walk away when you clearly expect to be kept up with is disrespectful unless you are actually intending to walk away and leave the person. The fact he felt the need to turn back and hurry the kid along shows he just gave no consideration to the kid.

    He does it multiple times too. Walk away; hurry up; walk away; hurry up. This guy is herding this kid he just doesn’t know how to do it, like he expects a retinue or something.

    Like you can read it differently if you want but I don’t agree with your assessment. The body language is pretty clear to me.

      Yea he obviously doesn’t know much about parenting. Also probably doesn’t have much empathy or mental space he’s willing to commit.

      However that is pretty damn normal. I see hundreds of parents and kids each year. The ones who doit properly are few and far between.

      The point is why the hell are we talking about it? He’s literally orchestrating a fascist takeover and indirectly killing thousands, why are we wasting our energy on outrage at a minor shitty behaviour than most parents are guilty of?
