The only reason I think it was a nazi salute is that it was done by a nazi...
Delusional, as usual
So if people made shirts of musk nazi salute and wore them around, would they get kicked out of places? Like the DMV or any government office?
It would be even more effective if it were a photo of the actual president doing it.
I am not hoping that it happens. But when it does happen, I hope the photographers have some good angles.
No, soon they all will throw their hearts too.
I dont know what this means
In the immortal words of Buffy: "I didn't jump. I took a tiny step and there conclusions were"
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.
And thus, the perma stun begins
"He probably did it as a joke."
Actual excuse I've heard from multiple people.
I've also heard the excuse "he's autistic"
Ah yes, the spectrum between pet the dog, hailing a taxi, and exterminating bad races.
An excuse is all it is
I have asked a similar question many times in the past when people excuse such things as jokes:
What is the effective difference between doing a Nazi salute like that "as a joke" and just doing one?
Same thing I ask when people claim they are being racist as a joke.
The difference between the public and private spheres. There is absolutely no way to make a Nazi salute jokes in public spheres, full stop. In the private sphere I can imagine it.
"What's the difference between a dog and a Nazi? One goes like this [does Nazi salute] and one goes like this [raises leg]!"
