Does it matter if it was or it wasn't, specifically intended to be a NAZI salute? He's acting like a NAZI in every relevant way except the symbolic and superficial. (Well... except for that one very public time.) He's very aggressively and openly supporting far-right parties, including the AfD in Germany. He's suggested to Germans to get over the shame of their past -- guess what he's referring to here! He basically owns the US Executive branch in the same way that fascists "integrate" business and politics. He loves to single out vulnerable minority groups for public vilification (the transgendered), including personally taking steps to materially harm them. Him and Trump together want to control the racial makeup of the country, and have collaborated on mass arrests and deportations. Etc... If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and salutes like a duck...

Weird that comments point out this obvious truth are all downvoted. Also, he is firing all FBI agents that worked on the case against Capitol attack. They are succeeding in making legal system composed of loyalist that will not prosecute his people crimes, but will abuse political oposition.

Not only does it look like a Nazi salute to most people, Nazis also took it as a sign that he's one of them. His representative in Rome called in a Roman salute (same thing) before quickly deleting it. It's a Nazi salute to everybody except a handful of people who are desperately in denial about it.

see it's word twisting like that, to suite your view point, and the lack of critical thinking that's the biggest problem in the US.

  I don't live in the US. I don't see how I've "twisted" words either, unless you consider "stating facts" to be deceptive somehow. Maybe you have alternative facts?
