* said nothing of the White Power gesture (or some other likely "prison-gang hand-sign&quot from the woman standing directly beside him.

But when I saw the photo & the whole family was grinning like this was the coolest thing I was taken aback. Who grins at the gravesite of a loved one? It was weird.

I see a couple people throwing horns 🤘🏽 but no white power stuff.

They don’t seem to be Metal people. Could be a Texas thing.

What would two trump giddy women be doing flashing horns ? I see what I see maybe my glasses are dirty.

I saw one with two women throwing horns.

I’m not saying there weren’t Pepe signs. Just that in the picture I saw, there weren’t.

The one on the far left, and the one to the right of Trump.

I spent a while earlier trying to figure out what the sign they were making was, and couldn't get a clear answer. But no "Okay" white power sign in the image I saw.

The women were gesturing "I love you" to the soldier/family member who was killed in Afghanistan.
Check the Monday and Tuesday posts and you'll see.

The I love you sign requires the thumb be extended as it represents part of the L and the Y in ASL. Thumb folded over fingers is typically for the Rock On gesture associated with heavy metal music.

Both women clearly have the thumb folded over

20. Nope. The thumb is over the two folded down fingers, not out to the side.

That one crossed my mind, but it isn't the sign they are making.

They have the pointer and middle finger raised, with the two other fingers folded down and caught by the thumb. I looked to see if I could figure out what the symbol was, and the closest I can come is horns.
