Video of said bullshit

Of course hes going to say he was making the OK hand gesture. But I ask, why would he make an OK hand gesture when hes talking about AOC? He hates her and doesnt think shes OK.

Fucking please impeach this fuck.

We are never going to wake up from this nightmare because the people who have the power to stop this don't want to do jack shit. And it doesn't seem like there's gonna be a revolution or civil war either because no one wants to get their hands dirty or organize. I swear, I don't have it in me if we have to go through another four years of this after 2020.

It truly does feel like we are living in an alternate reality almost with where politics around the world is going.

It's going to last a hell of a lot longer than that.

I mean, he's a white supremacist, sure, but doesn't he do that gesture every few minutes, to the point of it being a major component of people's Trump impressions and caricatures?

He uses this gesture all the time, before it was Co opted by white supremacists while talking. This is a reach. The guy is a racist but he's not throwing up a sign here.

Yeah. Not to say he isn't being racist here, but I don't think he's smart enough to ascribe higher level symbolism to his erratic arm movements.

He's awful but I think this is reaching a little too far into crazy town

No way. Maybe someone else. This motherfucker has seen the criticism towards members of people around him for taking pics making the white power signal. You think hes deaf to all that shit? When Stephen Miller was accused of it? Hes doing this shit intentionally.

Yeah, the guy is a legit white supremacist who is saying and doing an insane amount of racist shit on the daily but that hand sign is one of his quirks. Dude can't go a sentence without doing it.

Like, anyone doing a Trump impression is gonna put on a shitty fake tan, pout out their lips and do that hand sign every other word.

Maybe he is using it as a dog whistle, maybe he is not. There's plenty of overtly racist he does that this isn't something to bang our heads into the ground on.

Yeah, don't think I'm ever going to get onboard the đź‘Ś = Nazi train. At this point parts of the left have made that hand signal such a boogieman that the hard right will use it just to feed into the paranoia.

No doubt the man's a racist ball of decaying flesh - just stop pretending a common hand sign is secret code.

nearly every speech, even pre-election

this is some qanon shit, like, I'm sorry

the man can barely form a coherent sentence half the time, he's not out here sending coded messages to his 4chan white nationalist fanbase. he doesn't know memes, he doesn't know the secret alt-right hand signs, he's being the same paste-eating idiot he's always been

As much as I disagree with this guy on just about everything, I don't think he was doing it for the purposes of making a white power symbol. Having said that, as a president you should have to be aware of what is appropriate and what can be misinterpreted. You could probably find an image of most modern presidents doing something similar.

His followers aren't going away after next year regardless of the results. The hate inspired isn't going away after next year regardless of the results

You don't unbox this. You won't bring back the dead. You can't restore the environments and the species the ignored climate change has already devastated. You can't vote out two SCOTUS justices. You cannot undo the damage

People, I know he does the hand gesture all the time.

Hes a fucking troll, though.

Hes told the four Congress members to go back home where they came from and hes been attacking them ever since.

I really believe he did this shit intentionally since this story has blown up about his racist twitter attacks. Hes trolling and hes hyping up his idiot sycophants.

I still hate the fact that a gesture that's been around since the 5th century has been stolen by a bunch of societal rejects that rally around a cartoon frog that pees with his pants around his ankles

Dude, this is honestly conspiracy level shit.

He doesn't need to "troll" when he is openly racist all the time.

Yeah it is. Well known at this point.

A 4Chan hoax is what started this.

In 2017, the "okay" hand gesture acquired a new and different significance thanks to a hoax by members of the website 4chan to falsely promote the gesture as a hate symbol, claiming that the gesture represented the letters "wp," for "white power." The "okay" gesture hoax was merely the latest in a series of similar 4chan hoaxes using various innocuous symbols; in each case, the hoaxers hoped that the media and liberals would overreact by condemning a common image as white supremacist.

It's still a universal symbol of "ok" and just hand gestures in general. I don't buy the white power thing. It does not seem like something that is as prevalent as say a swastika or nazi salute, unless I've just missed that entire side of the internet (totally possible).

Conspiracy shit? Look at the photos linked above. All of those people are openly racist and yet they are making hand signals. Its part of their thing.
That Trump is specifically doing this hand signal, one that he is famously known to do none stop, just to send a dog whistle to 4chan IS conspiracy shit.

This is goofy, man.
