"Don't believe your lying eyes", eh?
You must have simply missed it, because it was recorded and everyone with eyes can clearly see it. Maybe it's just not spread very widely in your media bubble.
Here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYjPzj1Xw
PS: You're defending a billionaire who would poison the water in your grandmother's neighborhood to save a few cents on his tax bill. Poor people like you mean nothing to him. He even treats his daughter like shit, just because she was brave enough to live her life as her own. He's a morally bankrupt person, who got where he is by treading on and abusing people, just like any other billionaire.
Your line of reasoning has been attempted already, nearly verbatim. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47712820
No, the observation that you are a politically motivated actor telling us to ignore evidence that we saw with our own eyes was repeated by myself and another person, because it rhymes exactly with historical precedent. That wasn't the "line of reasoning", it was a quote.
The line of reasoning is everything which came after, which you of course ignored.
If I understand correctly, you are saying he's a billionaire who doesn't care about me and he has a bad relationship with one of children, therefore I should think he is a Nazi, or at least view the gesture in the most unfavorable light possible. That he is actually a Nazi.
If anything, you seem more politically motivated than me. I am just stating things as I saw them. He'd have to be the dumbest person on earth to intentionally do a Nazi gesture on stage.
It's far more likely he did an awkward gesture due to his Asperger's. Plus he literally said "my heart goes out to you" as he did it. I've seen the video (I'm not actually in a bubble. Are you?).
I've also seen endless propaganda accusing trump of calling Nazis fine people. This is just the latest iteration of propaganda against people the left doesn't like. It's not convincing.
