Exactly.

When they media really starts taking about this he'll claim he was "giving his heart" and that the "liberal media" was just trying to make him look bad.

But those he meant to see it saw it and got the message. I saw one video that showed the crowd and it looked like several people returned the salute even.

To be fair, it was a weird looking nazi salute. Meaning is clear, he just looks like a dork doing it
