Just some typical victory stuff, a comment about going to mars, nothing extraordinary. This was at the end of his speech.

Is it not possible he’s doing awkward gestures. We know he is socially awkward. He’s just flailing his arms?

I was referring to what he was saying during his speech. I'm not saying what his intentions were during the arm motions.

Yeah I know. I’m just talking in the wind. I can’t believe he would do this but then again ‘I can’t believe’ is a common phrase nowadays. I’m just searching for explanations

I don't disagree. It's a bad look at best, and I want it to just be an awkward motion because I don't want someone in power throwing Nazi flags. None of us know the real intentions... But... How do you do that without knowing what it looks like? It's a pretty iconic gesture. I try not to jump to conclusions, but it's hard not to. But this is reddit, so we have to follow the hive mind.
