    I should prolly not say this, but...

    Check out 0:50 onwards like 20 seconds.



    He does the white power hand gesture while saying February 1st. That means he wants the Nazis, white supremacists to vote on February 1st.

    But I believe he's pivoted from that. He doesn't do the hand gesture at all anymore. He just wanted the Nazi vote but he's done pleasing them, mostly. He noticed a banner that said 'Blacks for Trump' at his latest rally like a week ago and he pointed that out and was happy about that. Did the black power salute too now I realise.

    This was a little earlier rally:

    I love how the "ok" hand symbol suddenly became a white power symbol just because mainstream media said so

    Yeah but it is, historically. It belongs to the legacy of white supremacy in America. You ain't seeing no n----s doing the white power salute.

    As long as people don't realise what it means and do it just as an 'okay' sign and do it to fellow white people, then it's okay. But don't do it to a black person.

    This is a slight black power salute while he's meeting with Ye, while they're shaking hands. But just him meeting with Ye, the optics of it are that he's trying to be friends with black folks:

    He certainly did pander to the far right, but you could point to a million more substantive instances of it. Like when he outright proposed a Muslim ban, called Mexican aliens r--ist criminals, or ran that commercial about Jewish bankers. The guy campaigned around white separatist ideals pretty openly. I'm not sure why you'd need to resort to this schizoid tin foil hat stuff to prove it.

    But it's not tin foil. Stuff you said is also true, but the sign is white power in this instance and not tin foil. Believe me.

    He said " we know what this means" after doint the hand gesture. I'm right.

    I told on Sxn80 that the first time I did marijuana I realised Trump is sending messages to Nazis. But it's okay as long as he's just playing them.

    The Anit-Defamation League doesn't even classify the "ok" symbol as a white supremacist gesture. It's just some backwards retcon of the pepe meme. Steven Bannon and other alt righters still use the sieg heil.

    It's a very subtle white power gesture. Trump had to be subtle cos he wants to keep the decent people. Trump does so many subtle things that no one person can understand all of them.

    "We know what that is" is clearly referring to knowing that election day is what he's referring to. He's giving a thumbs up when he says it. Is a thumbs up a "white power symbol"? lol

    Trump is known for doing dumb s--- with his hands.

    Some people pick up that he has a warm heart, and some people pick up the hate. People see him differently, but they're all supporters of his.

    Not even sure what the point you're trying to make is.

    I know I'm right, sorry. We can agree to disagree.

    That he's pretending to be a white supremacist but even a black supremacist kinda, but in reality he loves all people. Except ISIS.

    The a-okay hand signal is considered a White Supremacist code now because of the Alt-Right co-oping Pepe and making him a White Supremacist.

    Trump uses the same hand gestures, mannerisms and speaking style when he address rallies as fascist and Nazi collaborator Mussolini and White Nationalist and President candidate George Wallace... Who both also subconsciously used the a-okay sign when they gave speeches,


    Although the a-okay hand sign wasn't considered a White Power symbol in their time.
