Sad thing is that, regardless of what he is or isn't, people are answering his attention whoring with attention.

He's the richest man in the world who has untold influence over the most powerful office in the world. It's hard to ignore him at this point sadly. Ignoring the problem isn't going to make it go away.

He certainly made this motion to get attention, as you said, in possibly the least crafty dog whistle in recorded history.

It's like when a toddler learns a naughty word that makes all the grown ups laugh.

Edit: I redact that, he fucking knows what a Nazi salute is. There is no child like innocence at play, as some may interpret it.

he is a digital frotteur (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frotteurism). at the same time this is where everyone should draw the line.
