I can kinda see a case for the "it was a non-sincere nazi salute" argument, as it does seem like the sort of thing a petulant manchild might do. But I can't believe there are people who watched that and legitimately think it was intended to be any other gesture.
I don't know that it makes a real difference though. Fuck anyone supporting him at this point, regardless of the justification they're using to do it.
The "it was just a joke, chill" sort of excuse should still be treated just the same as a sincere gesture, anyways.
