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.
