    The emphasis he used when doing it made it look a bit skewed, but considering the public stigma around the Nazi salute, it kinda makes it look like he finally had the courage to perform it in public after a long time of doing it at home infront of the mirror, the excitement of a moment he had waited for for decades was finally here and he had his now or never moment, so he put extra energy into the salute and made a weird face while saluting, and the media that understands the political game starts downplaying it immediately.

    Disgusting.

      “Looked a bit skewed”

      No. No it didn’t. It was a nazi salute. The first commenter had it right.

      The only thing that saves that is him saying afterwards right away it’s not what he meant and he’s sorry if it were taken that way also nazis suck.

      He didn’t do that, it’s a nazi salute.

        You’re both right. It was a Nazi salute, but it wasn’t a crisp salute, it was rushed like an excited school boy and was sloppy and a bit skewed. Still 100% a Nazi salute and the meaning doesn’t change based on how poorly he did it, just like everything else in his life.

        On the images I have seen it looks like a skewed Nazi salute, clearly a Nazi salute, but skewed.

        Look, I am agreeing with you, why are you arguing with me?

      Really, the only question is whether he intentionally made the Nazi salute, or whether he’s just so used to making the Nazi salute at other times that he just spontaneously did it out of excitement.

        Yeah, that is exactly my point, his stance got skewed by the effort he put into it, which deniers use to pretend that it wasn’t a Nazi salute, but the grunt and skewed stance shows how much effort he put into it making a Nazi salute.
