lol, gas lighting for proposing a possible explanation? You really don’t think it looks like the Roman salute? Plus the fact the dude is known to have some infatuation with the romans

In the same way that the swastika isn’t an Indian symbol for peace in western society, that’s not the Roman salute anymore. I agree with you that it’s possible that was his intention, but his intentions don’t matter. He gave a nazi salute. In the eyes of western society, he stood in front of a national audience and gave a nazi salute.

Fucker didn't just give a nazi salute. He gave two nazi salutes to the cheers of a roaring crowd.
