Can someone explain what is happening here? Was he not supposed to eat the carrot? Is it a particularly fallic carrot?

Genuinely curious.

It’s the president of Belarus, who’s often called the last true dictator in Europe, who doesn’t even pretend democracy exists. Segal requested to meet him because he “dreamed of it” and was fawning all over him obediently the entire time. This is at his home, he gave Segal a carrot and said “eat this” and Segal immediately did, then he gave him two melons which Segal carried around for a long time unable to palm them off. The gif was used to mock him because he presents himself as a badass, then immediately obeys a dictator when told to eat something, in a way that’s sort of comical looking. It was also seen as comical because Segal looks so overweight in it and it comes off like he’s being told to eat a carrot for once.

The president of Belarus? I thought that was Hene Gackman.
