2. That particular hand sign is used in White Power circles.

Instead of cupping the other fingers and holding them together a bit sideways to give the impression of a "k", the hand is held in a way with the other fingers spread so that a "w" is created, and the circled thumb and index finger is the top circle of the "p".

The constant use of that sign instead of just using it as a way of highlighting a discussion about how everything is "okay" is a major tell that he's using dog-whistles or trying to connect with his base.
