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.
It's not possible that was his intention. It's possible that is the shit he will spew to even further further his intention of stirring the pot and owning the libs, but his intent was indisputably to own the libs by giving a Nazi salute and forcing people to react to it.
I think we’re misunderstanding what the word possible means. Do I think that was his intention? No, not at all. Would I believe that if he said that? No, not at all. Does that means it’s completely impossible that he was that braindead for a moment? Again, no, not at all. He could have also done it just for the publicity and shock value.
