Sorry, I meant actually mentally checked out levels of non awareness. Completely unaware of your surroundings style.

No one who can use a word with as many syllables as "civilization" would even come close to accidentally performing a similar gesture.

Do I think he is a true "final solution" style Nazi? No, but he knew damn well what it was when he did it. Was it to embolden his far-right base? Troll the media who would dive on the opportunity to talk about it endlessly, thusly shifting the media away from Trump's awful day 1 executive orders? Just see if he could get away with it? All of the above? Who knows.

But one thing is for sure, he intentionally and knowingly did a Nazi Salute.
