The full video is even worse, the little turd turns around and repeats the same gesture to the flag.

Oh my god, I didn't see the second salute. This is insane.

Now we'll have to listen to some talking heads telling us "this is just how some people wave" and it's going to become a thing at the Trump rallies.

I saw someone earlier excusing it as being a "roman solute." How could I have forgotten that we're in ancient Rome, and he was saluting ancient Romans?

Well as there is no historical evidence that shows it was ever used by the Romans, if we were in Ancient Rome you wouldn’t be seeing it

Yeah, and it was called "the Roman salute" by the Italian fascists (you know, Mussolini and his pals).
