hugging and kissing your grandchild on the cheek seems normal to me especially if that kid is at the funeral of his dad

However, lots of people have denounced the President's behaviour as inappropriate whereas some called for banning him from being around kids. Moreover, people started to share more videos and photos where the president is seen hugging and kissing other male members of the family.
