I’m not sure if that’s the right gesture when you’re constantly agitating against socialists:
Yes, common knowledge dictates that only socialists raise their fists, ever, because they invented the gesture
The guy is a politician. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, he cannot show the gesture of his own political camp. So he will have to make do with this symbolic loan. But it fits in quite well with his election campaign, especially as he strangely portrays his opponents as fascists.
I am pretty sure a raised fist predates government or even agriculture, but sure, let’s work with very limited understandings of what things can mean. Donald Trump is a horrible monster, but I don’t really see what good limiting what he does with his hands does for anyone.
Almost as if he was waiting for his next photo op…what a stupid tool
Edit: I’m a tool and didn’t realize I was reading the onion I’m a stupid tool in this case…
Nope… sick with COVID and didn’t realize I was in the onion land I still think it’s a tool but I shouldn’t respond to onion articles that makes me a tool…
It’s okay bro, easy mistake to make. The fat orange guy is a walking onion article no matter what he does.
Frankly it’s amazing that The Onion didn’t go under in the last decade as reality became stranger than their headlines
Like, from just reading the headline, it doesn’t seem very onion-y. It’s not just perfectly believable, but I sort of assumed that that is what happened.
Damnit I ate the onion 😔. I have brought great shame to my family
Didn’t even click to read the satire.
As much as I hate the guy it was marketing genius to do the fist pump immediately.
Same as his mug shot (although he probably practiced that one for hours in a mirror).
Many of his core followers are only semi-literate. They respond to iconic imagery.
he didn’t do the fist pump immediately.
it was like 10 minutes later, you fell for the propaganda.
I see now that the photo is from the golf course not the speech. That he posed for that one shows once again how media savvy he is.
The first assassination attempt created the iconic image. That happened only 80 seconds after the shooting, ie as soon as security let him stand up. Here is the uncut footage.
