I am sceptical as, so far, it just makes those who’ve done it look like kids trying too hard to be edgy. That said, the mask has slipped so perhaps he just doesn’t care any more and this is his moment to be hailed as Caesar.
What would make me more worried is a reaction shot of the crowd all saluting back like a Nuremberg rally.
However, perhaps that sledgehammer to the face is what some people require to make them realise they’ve fucked up voting for Trump and dropped everyone else into this too. I have a second cousin in the American branch of the family who took out an ad in 2020 saying to vote for Trump as Biden will take your guns (he is a member of the NRA but his politics was more centre-right before). I don’t talk politics with him when he visits but, next time, I really want to ask: “is this what you really wanted?”

Are you sure he can lift his arms that high?
I think his doctors have warned him against it as the blood might flow back into his heart, with nasty consequences.
Doesn’t have to, he’ll do the classic Hitler receiving salute.
