President Joe Biden has sparked a bit of a frenzy on social media after he had an odd interaction with a child Thursday.
The president was greeting embassy staff members and their families at the Helsinki-Vantaan International Airport in Finland, according to Fox News.
The video showed Biden leaning into a small child being held by a woman as he appeared to nibble the child’s back until the girl moved her shoulder.
Biden seemed as though he tried to make a face at the girl before trying to lean back in a second time.
The youngster appeared uncomfortable and jerked her head away, causing a few individuals to laugh.
Trending:
The video has caused a wide variety of responses on Twitter.
The son of former President Donald Trump, Don Jr., weighed in on the viral moment.
“Biden should be in a nursing home, not leading the free world,” he wrote.
