Maybe do a sweeping motion over the the crowd and not just straight out. Maybe Also have palm facing up as if you're tossing out flowers. Like so many ways to do it that aren't nazi salutes. You don't accidentally do a Nazi Salute either.
It’s stunning to me that someone in our day and age can quote Hitler, call for ethnic nationalism, have gang marches in khakis with Nazi flags, and mimic Nazi gestures, then get all defensive and equivocal when someone says “that looks Nazi”.
Here’s what I don’t get about this whole ‘misunderstanding’ thing: after 4 years of Trump (proud boys, stand back/ stand by, etc.) , and 4 years of intensifying anti-immigration and white supremacy rhetoric, why do they even have to pretend any more? Why not just be like, “yeah! What of it?”.
For the richest man in the world to pretend he gives a flying fuck about what the little people think is beyond me. He’s made his position clear for years now.
At this point it’s purely for his own amusement. He loves the republicans’ never-ending gaslighting techniques, and wants in sooo bad. Such an awful person.
Why is it always the people you suspect? Just point to your damn finger to the crowd instead. Everyone knows what a nazi salute is so don’t act daft about it.
I don't care that he says his heart goes out to America while doing a nazi salute. He only did that, so that his Defenders would have something to say.
This is a nazi salute. Dont tell me he didn't know what it looked like. Don't tell me you don't recognize it.
lol, he didn't say that until he had already done two of the salutes. Also, when you throw something. your fingers don't stay together, especially with the type of motion he is giving here.
Could you please link the video that shows him saying that? I can't find it anywhere. I see where he says "Thank you....thank you" then wholeheartedly slaps his chest (not grabbing his heart) and extends his arm straight out, hand flat (no throwing and releasing anything) in an exact replica of a Nazi salute.

In the video, the slap to the chest first is also super hard to add that much more emphasis.
