He planned ahead to do it when he said "far flung places", knowing the left-leaning media/podcast world would focus on this for Monday, instead of the many other things that are going to straight shit for this regime, such as the stock market falling and crude (and petrol) prices rising. This way he and the RW media can make hay whining about how our side imagines nazi's everywhere, how he "clearly" was gesturing to 'far flung places' when he did it, etc.

The problem is, he obviously is a fucking Nazi, and people SHOULD be calling out him out for it. So it's a bit of a Catch-22 for us.

it seemed to me Trump was either asleep or bored out of his skull so he didn't see it. One or the other.
