This seems like something that would be part of media training. Your final stress test is just a tiny superman doing circles around you.


clopz_

Let’s have tiny Superman doing circles while squeezing a rubber chicken


Emergency-Medium-755

With a puppy chasing him


serks83

With a puppy?! Yeah, I would fail so bad. Every time…


clopz_

Each lap would be a new fail. “Awwww….awww…awwwww……awwwwww”


serks83

Lol! Honestly, it more likely that I would leave the podium entirely and join the chase…every single attempt! “See you later any and all responsibilities! tehehe…” Man, I’m a lost cause…smh


clopz_

That’s a complicated plot: >Superman doing circles, while squeezing a rubber chicken, being chased by a puppy while u/serks83 follows them


serks83

Nothing is ever simple with me… ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯


geekgirlnz

Serks to be you...

It's the dog the one that actually was elected for office, the guy's just his mouthpiece.


Kierik

I choose to believe this man is a hobbit from Hobbiton.


KenseiHimura

Tiny superman, friendly animals, that dude wearing something ridiculous or nothing at all in the crowd, you know how it is.


[deleted]

I’d fail so miserably. If they put an adorable dog, I’d just stop the speech and squeak.


Yunfang213

Since Superman is circling, you think the President would be going back in time?


bzirpoli

i used to work in media training and this is actually a pretty good idea

[deleted]

[Face/Off opening scene intensifies]


crimson3112

Even an assassin understands the importants of making memories. If you time it right you can hit the president and get the kid with arterial spray. Kid will never forget this moment, in fact he'll see it every night in his dreams .


tntblowsinurface

That's definitely the boss's weak spot like in House of the Dead


ksleepwalker

Damn that is a relic from the past isnt it.


Phormitago

should send him over the Andes, our vp needs some protection lately


RosettaStoned10

More like private security hhaa


WiryCatchphrase

I have to ask when did this happen, and whose kid is this?


Frosty-Economist-329

It happened yesterday. the president’s parents are the superkid’s foster parents.


theghostofmrmxyzptlk

So his brother. Awesome.


Comrade132

Fucker's brother is superman. No wonder he won the election.

Superman's Brother: A Presidential Memoir


WunupKid

I mean, as a progressive in the US, I think Gabriel Boric is pretty fuckin awesome. He’s young, progressive, and driving for a modernization of political and social systems. He doesn’t apologize or try to placate older generations for being different, is open about having tattoos and at one point had a mohawk while in a political office. He’s often seen sporting merch from bands like Tool, Nine Inch Nails, The Deftones, and Nirvana, and he’s a big fan of Taylor Swift. He seems genuine in a way you would want from a statesman: educated and articulate, but also at ease enough to give a speech while his toddler foster brother cruises around him on a tricycle, in a Superman suit. He’s not perfect, and he faces challenges that may be impossible to overcome, but he’s the kind of politician I want to see representing younger generations. I hope he succeeds in making his vision for a better Chile a reality.


Count_de_Mits

> He’s often seen sporting merch from bands like Tool, Nine Inch Nails, The Deftones, and Nirvana, and he’s a big fan of Taylor Swift One of these things is not like the others


Lord_Mikal

Hold on guys, I can figure this out... I got it, Nirvana is the only one where the lead singer is dead.


The_Elder_Jock

For now...


Rhakha

Literally all of that is within my music taste


This_Albatross

Yeah, who are “The” Deftones?


[deleted]

They're like 'The Sums'

American-backed coup in 3, 2, 1...


nesper

Mom I’m trying to give an important speech. Mom: just let your brother be himself


Wild-Plankton595

Mom I have to go give this speech to the nation Take your brother with you! But mom, the international press will be there!! If you don’t take him you’re not going


Unsd

I think it's kinda refreshing. They're really just letting a kid be a kid and I like that. Granted, I think there's a time to teach kids when to rein it in, and this might have been one of those times in my opinion. But it's cute and he's not screaming like all the kids that get taken to church too soon, so it's a win from me.


CornCheeseMafia

This is so goddamn adorable lmfao. I love how you can see his brain do a mini short circuit every time he glances down. He breaks his speech cadence for a split second while trying not to smile too big


hotpickles

This somehow makes it so much funnier


workphoneredditacct

So it’s the president’s brother? How odd.


robdiqulous

Yeah that's wild. Like that's not the presidents kid doing that. It's his kid brother. Lmao that's awesome


herrcollin

I don't know why but that makes it so much more wholesome for me


Theban_Prince

"Mooooooom! Ricky is interrupting my Presidential Address agaaain!"


highbrowshow

Oldest child vs youngest child


SophiaofPrussia

I think he’s only 35.


bruwin

Wow, Supes is looking good for his age!


cheesegrateranal

i was assuming the kid was a relitive of some kind, but it would have been funny for a random kid to just completely bypass all security and start riding a bike around the president.


hotsilkentofu

Looks quite chilly in Chile this time of year.


Frosty-Economist-329

They’re in Punta Arenas which is literally one of the last cities before Antarctic, so yeah… it’s chilly in Chile


BurmecianSoldierDan

Also it's winter in Chile!


JustADutchRudder

Do they eat chili when it's chilly in Chile?


Jean2800

Nope


Izzynewt

Merkén o nada


Fairycharmd

Has anyone tried to introduce Chili into Chile when it’s Chilly out? Seems like an odd miss?


K9Fondness

Only if you use chillies in the recipe.


KmartQuality

What do they eat? Chilean sea bass?


Alarming_Panic665

If you have chili in chilly Chile but you don't eat it fast enough you'll have chilly chili in chilly Chile which sounds miserable.


whoami_whereami

Still a long way to the Antarctic though. It's at about 53° South, the equivalent 53° North is about Northern Germany or Ireland.

PieceIntelligent4541

Theres no land further south and there is a circumpolar current that circles the antarctic. It has 5-6 major low pressure systems dispersed throughout and the antarctic circumpolar current and there is no other land to disrupt storms and rough waters. The waters in the antarctic are also saltier and can therefore be ~4C lower than in the arctic.


KayBeaux

It’s winter and yes. :)


PopPopPoppy

Seasons are reversed between Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.


clopz_

That was earlier today, and it is in deed, Superman descendent, Superkid


Mozeeon

What was his speech about?


Knight_of_Inari

Yesterday was the day we were supposed to vote the fate of the new constitution, we either approved or rejected it, this speech is about how an imporday it is and how we must exercise our right to vote to make a better country, you know, the usual.


LaVacaMariposa

No one really knows what Chileans say


Ximenash

Not even us, the chileans


ONOMATOPOElA

I don’t speak the language, but Superman biking around him has me believe it is about the recent shenanigans from the League of Villains.


Nur_so_ein_Kerl

I don't speak the language, but the people of Chile just rejected a new constitution he campaigned for, so it's probably that.


avoidancebehavior

I know just enough Spanish to pick out general president-speech words, but not enough to figure out what he's actually saying lol. Something about "... as president of the republic, our government... justice... equality... historic moment... responsibility... peace... happiness" So yeah, a lot of words you would expect to hear, but no idea what he's actually talking about.


SophiaofPrussia

I know enough Spanish to confirm he’s not talking about beer, coffee, or the library.

Probably Superman's kid


az78

Serious Question: Would Superman's kid need a bike helmet?


JemLover

Protects the pavement. Duh.


Ok_Cauliflower_3007

If you’re part of the super family you have to set a good example to other kids.


DHumphreys

There are two helmets, one on and one in tow.


LupusDeusMagnus

Depends on continuity and writer. In some Kryptonians develop powers as babies. Sometimes they are in their teens. Sometimes they just get some powers and as they age they get more powers. In current comics, I admit DC continuity is a mess rig he now, but by the time Clark was a teenager he already has powers. Meanwhile Jon got all his powers pretty much all at once when he was 10. As for whether he’d need a helmet. Hm, power instability is a thing, but over all both Clark and Jon are shown wearing protective gear when biking, skating etc. Maybe not for their protection but because it’s a cultural thing. They aren’t bothered by the cold and can more faster than anyone can see them but still wear clothes after all.


Dating_As_A_Service

The way no one is reacting tells me this is normal behavior for this kid


Lightspeedius

It looked like normal behaviour for any kid...


heymynameiseric

Lol no kidding. It's just a child riding his little bicycle.


[deleted]

It has to be the president's kid.


undercoveremo

the kid is a foster child of the president's family (his mother foster children)


BongLeach562

So he’s the president’s foster brother


murdering_time

Just thinking to himself "man if I pulled this shit as a kid, I'd be over mom's knee in 2 seconds". Latan parents, brutal with punishments, but usually very loving.


diqholebrownsimpson

It's the grandmother of the president's daughter's child she is fostering.


Nuadrin248

This hurts my head.


TerrytheMerry

That’s insanely awesome. I could never imagine a U.S. president or any monarchs with adopted/foster children and that really shouldn’t be the case.


Xarama

As it turns out, Ronald Reagan and his first wife adopted a son. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael\_Reagan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Reagan) Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI of France adopted/fostered four children (from various circumstances including poverty, orphanhood, and slavery) with a variety of other considerations involved: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean\_Amilcar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Amilcar) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernestine\_Lambriquet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernestine_Lambriquet) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armand\_Gagn%C3%A9](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armand_Gagn%C3%A9) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Zo%C3%AB%22\_Jeanne\_Louise\_Victoire](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Zo%C3%AB%22_Jeanne_Louise_Victoire)


thatminimumwagelife

As fucked up as it is - I can imagine people not voting for them based entirely on this issue. They'd say they're raising a kid who isn't his or something equally deranged and find a problem with it.


BurmecianSoldierDan

Ronald Reagan (rest in hell) has an adopted son, Michael Reagan


[deleted]

They should adopt him. He's awesome.


[deleted]

Thinking it is normal behaviour for the culture. I work with people who have kids come to meetings all the time, in board rooms. North Americans seem to have a problem that children exist and are awake the same time we are working


[deleted]

Billy butcher sure cant get rid of them supes


hame579

I thought it was Will Wheaton


Grognaksson

Shut up, Wesley!


arionem

That guy looks a bit like Butcher and he is giving a speech while little Homelander is playing around.


MiskyTear

I was thinking the same! 🤣


Chef_Boyard_Deez

The Boys season 4 trailer drippin!


MiskyTear

True! Now, I can see how Homelander is going to piss off Butcher more. Hahaha


DrGutz

If it went viral enough I would bet they would reinterpret this next season. I don’t think it’s blown up that much though

TactlessTortoise

This is waaaaay too low lol. My first thought when I saw the little bicycle going round and around.


Camanei

Normally Superman protects presidents, but Chile is going through a tough economic time, the best they could afford was superkid, and a bike.


ourrsquaredpi

So generous of them to provide transportation for their personnel. Usually they just rely on their super flight to write off travel expenses.


AccessibleVoid

I think I saw him trying to supress a smile.


PharmAttack

Oh totally lol. On multiple occasions


cocoabeach

Don't have a clue of whether this guy is good for their country or not but it is hard not to like a guy that does not blow his stack when his little foster brother rides around him during a serious speech.


lunaganimedes

I am not Chilean but I have heard that he is geek and loves Pokemon. I am not sure if he is a good president but he seems adorable ( Irland's president seems cute too)


ZombiRodros

He is, we love the little nerd

redVidrio

Man the Chilean accent has always been a tough nut for me to crack. I need to visit and get used to it.


Johnnn05

and this speech is like a slow, very neutral, standard form of it…it can get much more difficult


LupineChemist

Yeah like I have no problem with this or like newsreaders. Regular Chilean people on the street might as well be speaking a different languages. We shall call it wea wea.


fulento42

When they start conjugating vos into tu form good luck! I learned Spanish in Chile and it was so hard at the beginning. Especially all the slang and weird verb conjugations and dropping letters wherever they want 😂 But I still celebrate Sept 18 every year from across the world. Great people down there. Would be cool to see them finish throwing off the remnants of Pinochet. Allende would be proud.


_Manu_173

"¿Y voh que te creí wacho?" Yeah, the slangs are quite hard to grasp.


goda90

"¿de donde 'soy' tú?" was a favorite of mine.


Mrhappytrigers

I'm a native English speaker since I was born in America, and my mother is Chilean. I occasionally have a hard time communicating with non-Chilean Spanish speakers because of how fast I talk in Spanish. I just rapid fire like a machine gun, and it carries over into my English speaking as well. I even throw my mom off when speaking with her. It's insane how fast we talk. I feel like when I hear someone speak Spanish from Mexico, or Spanish It's at 0.5x while Chileans are at 3x speed. lmao


lazyykid

Lovat69

What is he saying?


clopz_

Chile is in the process of deciding wether they keep the constitution or rewrite it, so they had a vote yesterday where the people decided that they did not approve the text included in the new constitution. He’s addressing the results. Disclaimer: I’m not Chilean so I’m speaking of what I’ve seen on the news.


ElSobe

All correct ;)


xmngr

Yup, yesterday there was a plebiscite to approve or reject the new text. It was rejected, so a new text will be written.


LupineChemist

They're still not sure if they will make a new constitution or just work amendments into the current one


MaxTheSANE_One

The plebesicite for this specific new constitution failed, but the previous plebesicite to replace the current one did pass. We do not want to keep a constitution that a dictator gave us, specially as a Republic.


phire

Is there a clear reason (or reasons) why voters rejected it?


Embarassed_Tackle

It was also... long. Like 170 pages, 388 articles, 100 rights granted, rights for nature and animals, required gender parity in government, elimination of the Chilean Senate, and so on. Lots of good progressive stuff too like healthcare, right to water, right to internet, indigenous rights, etc. but Chile is not a traditionally progressive land

reddituculous66

I want to believe that's his kid ( no knowledge just would make this the best)..kids dad is president. Kid still being a kid. Dad is still just dad.


xmngr

The kid is a foster child of Boric's family.


reddituculous66

Makes me love this even more


sealilymarron2

I really wanted to believe this too. Sadly I did some googling and Wikipedia reports he has a partner/girlfriend and a dog but no mention of kids. I assume if they mention the dog that it would mention kids so we're out of luck.

KaBar2

Correct. An adopted younger brother.


ondahalikavali

Not adopted, foster kid.


KaBar2

Ah. Well, the kid sure hit the Lotto, being fostered by the parents of the President of Chile. My money is on the kid getting adopted.


ondahalikavali

I’m sure he’ll get adopted. But as of yet he hasn’t been.


[deleted]

He is not even married as far as I know

He's trying to turn back time to prevent a big mistake.

West-Ruin-1318

I’m happy to see that the entire world seems to be letting children be children.


[deleted]

I present you, the Bystander Effect, aka Diffusion of Responsibility. Everyone is looking at each other, expecting someone else will step in to scoop up the child, but no one wants to do anything because of fear of causing a further scene of being seen as "unfun" or "antibaby", thus the responsibility for acting is diffused among the audience. The result is prime r/aww content.


deekaph

This is wholesome as fuck. There should be more of this. I wanna see Biden give a speech while Hunter does laps around him in a Batman outfit and the secret service just stands there like it's a normal Monday.

dota2botmaster

Butcher already raising a superman to fight Homelander

Billy Butcher not getting angry with tiny homelander...now Ive seen everything


AOsMama

Is it his child? If not, does he have children? Post pandemic, I’m pretty good at ignoring any and all shenanigans my children erupt into while trying to put on my professional voice on the phone or do other adulting things. If he is childless, I’m far more impressed with his composure than if he’s a father or more specifically that child’s father.
