I wonder if he'll do it again? Or it'll be taken up by their fans?

It’s nuts to do such a thing in front of the whole world. He cannot possibly think a Nazi salute would be well received!

He can do what he wants. Nobody can touch him. His man's in the White House.

It's not a gaffe. It's very deliberate and all part of the plan.

Edited

What do you think is the plan?

Sweetbeansandmochi · 20/01/2025 22:58

Where do we go from here though?
Shadow President Musk is in situ.

happinessischocolate · 20/01/2025 22:58

If it part of a plan why has he edited it out on X

These are literal fascists. They're not hiding it.

The plan is a fascist administration.

That plan is now in effect.

Jesus fucking christ. I missed that earlier. Repulsive, repulsive man.

ICanTellYouMissMe · 20/01/2025 22:59

Genuinely made my blood run cold. And a stadium of fools giving him a standing ovation.

Looked coked off his face to me.

They didn't even wait one day before going full reich. And nobody knows how to deal with it, CNN were obviously very worried about calling out what the world could very clearly see.

Dangerous dangerous territory, if you enjoy massive understatement.

HopeForAPeacefulWorld · 20/01/2025 23:01

Trump needs to drop this jerk but he won't ....

SassK · 20/01/2025 23:01

He's physically very awkward in his gestures. He said he was directing love as he threw his arm out. Nothing to see here.

HopeForAPeacefulWorld · 20/01/2025 23:02

I guess he was throwing love to his fellow Hitler lovers

Oh fuck don't say that.

I still can't quite believe what I've just seen.

fromthevault · 20/01/2025 23:02

What with that and Melania dressed up as a Weimar Republic Mary Poppins...talk about hiding in plain sight. Except without the hiding.

Tisthedamnseason · 20/01/2025 23:03

The Democrats have been in power for at least half of the last decade, they need to look at why the vote has gone like this. Why ordinary people are turning to the likes of trump and musk.

I hate this argument. "The other people didn't do a good enough job of convincing me not to vote for fascists".

I think some of them took it up long ago

HopeForAPeacefulWorld · 20/01/2025 23:04

Yeah...CNN called it a strange salute. I guess they don't want to get sued.

Agree, people need to own who they voted for.

Flush them girl. Honestly, there's a shit load on here who need a proper break from internetting.

It’s not a gaffe. It’s a pre meditated and intentional dog whistle.

Why though?

Serpentstooth · 20/01/2025 23:11

Yes, two of them. I expect we can look forward to many, many more. And maybe a small moustache a la John Cleese 'don't mention the war'. Hideousness.

Greenkindness · 20/01/2025 23:12

Nonstoprain · 20/01/2025 23:06

Why though?

In my view:

a. He’s a fascist

b. He wants to wind up the woke lefties and crow about it.

c. He can open a debate about how he can make Nazi salutes if he wants to. You can’t tell Elon Musk what to do! This is a free country.

Lonelycrab · 20/01/2025 23:13

Nonstoprain · 20/01/2025 23:06

Why though?

Because, underneath all the ket addled quirkiness of his personality (lol) hes an actual, bona fide fascist?

Just a thought Hmm

It's valid. If the choices were better AND more had been done to convince people of the Democrats stance the democrats would and should have walked it. You may not like the argument. But it stands.

In a democracy we get the government we deserve.
