it's a grift to keep consoomers on his side. he's dog whistling to neonazis and nazi larpers. he immediately denied he did the nazi salute, which means he doesn't want his followers to actually learn about nazism and become nazis. he wants them to think he's really cool and inspiring in a vague manner typical of braindead goyslop consoomers. everyone in politica does this. liberals pretend they defend women ans immigrants but when an immigrant rapes a woman they deny it ever happened, because what they really want is stupid women and immigrants to join the workforce as that reduces labor costs by increasing demand threefold at least.
