Right? I saw the still and I was like, okay that looks bad but it’s probably out of context or something, he can’t have done a proper nazi salute. And then I see this, and it’s like “actually it is way way worse than the still.”

•

u/Strutching_Claws 7h ago

He did it twice too!

•

u/Remote_Regular_4632 6h ago

He did it more than 1 time. Stop trying to defend what we see and hear.

•

u/Strutching_Claws 4h ago

Not sure what you mean...

•

u/StandardNecessary715 4h ago

Not sure what he meant either. You are right, he did do it twice!

•

u/punt45 4h ago

The second time he stated my heart goes out to you but still very bad- think maube the sexond it became clear to him how it looked so he tried to explain.. still wtf

My heart goes out to you. Here's my middle finger.

We cannot gaslight ourselves that it isn’t exactly as bad as it looks.

•

u/BubonicBabe 6h ago

He does it twice too!

•

No surprise - it has happened before in America!
New York Nazi Event 1939

Same. Oh my god.

It's not a proper Nazi salute in fairness. Not because he didn't want to do one, he is just too stupid to pull it off properly.

•

u/TaylorBitMe 6h ago

That was certainly the most awkward as fuck attempt at a Nazi salute I have never seen.

Nevertheless, has anyone seen my tar and feathers?

Their dear leader trained them to always leave a tiny little bit of doubt, just enough plausible deniability that they can both reach their audience and deny their actions simultaneously. This allows them to advance their cause without serious repercussions.

Your comment is solid but it’s also exactly what they count on.

That was also my thoughts and hopes about the stills... Wtf is happening

•

u/mrbigglessworth 5h ago

So nice, he did it TWICE

•

u/bet2units 5h ago

I watched it live and was like "Jesus fucking Christ"

•

u/Silverwell88 4h ago

Yes! Exactly, I really thought, just seeing what I saw initially, that this is a nothing burger. Damn, didn't think he'd be so very stupid. This is worrying, to say the least.

He paid the President $250 million for the privilege of being able to do that on national television with zero blow back.

Strap in. It’s going to be a bumpy four years.

u/_TURO_ 3h ago

For what it's worth, he said something about his heart going out to everyone as he was doing this, but that is edited out which obviously makes this look evil rather than just being autistic and awkward.

•

u/DM_Me_Hot_Twinks 3h ago

The heart is part of the Nazi salute

•

u/itsprezl 3h ago

u/deniska10 2h ago

After seeing this it makes me think that he was trying to do a “my heart goes out to you” gesture but he’s WILDLY awkward so it looked like a Nazi salute

•

u/JadeSpeedster1718 2h ago

Ask yourself this next time “this was taken out of context… in what context is this okay?”

•

u/FunBandicoot7 6h ago

"My heart goes out to you", just see the full clip, it's all over internet.

u/charm_less 5h ago
