I’d definitely go with the one-finger salute. To Trump, we’re all marks in a carnival sense, and he shows his contempt for us with every self-congratulatory speech.
I’m not sure if it is a Nazi salute per se; perhaps a fascist one? I note the thumb in the palm… the cuff also has what looks like a bracelet of some sort…
Anyhow, while trying to find out if there was an exact or correct way to salute fascist style, I came across this:‘The peculiar history of the Pledge of Allegiance’
Americans need not have to refer to the Fascist salute or Nazi salute, they can get one closer to home: The Bellamy Salute! …American until 1942 ;-)
To all who were interested: aside from the nonsense he spouts (I understand if you’re a supporter you don’t think it’s nonsense), Trump is hustling everyone. If he were elected, he would have to divest himself of control over his holdings and probably lose billions. He’ll never let himself be elected. Although he puffs his chest out as a self-made man, he was born with a silver (actually, golden) spoon in his mouth. He knows the value of being very wealthy and has never been without it, even after quite a few bad business decisions. As for saying what (some) others are thinking, that’s not a particular mark of intelligence, just a display of guile. I don’t hate the man, but I do find him an amusing sideshow. Sorry if that offends some of you.
“Conservative rule #1…” You couldn’t think of any others? Madonna compared John McCain to Hitler in 2008. Are liberals flattered to be thought every bit as intelligent as Madonna?
P.S. What arguments are you talking about? It’s a CARTOON with a guy with an art instrument comparing a public figure to Adolph Hitler with a picture of his HAIR.

Heck, one of his Impudent Strumpettes tearing up a sign held by a peaceful supporter, well, that’s not in the least Nazi-like, is it?

Interesting parallel. Hitler rose to power promising to make Germany great again after the Great Depression.

But HIter’s ego wasn’t as big as Trump’s. Neither the red star nor swastika were the person’s name, constantly writ large.

But, when asked how he would deal with Syria, he said “I’d talk to Putin. We could get along.”

typical knee jerk reaction these days: if you don’t like someone – call them a Nazi.

Liberal rule #5: When in doubt compare ’em to Hitler. Saves on brain cells.
