Wouldn't the thumb be out for that?

Yes. And also the palm would be turned out, not pointed to the signer.
That's most definitely an asshole doing a "rock on" gesture with Trump in a cemetery.
Yeah, it's an "old" hand gesture, I'm 36 and it was out of fashion for my generation but it was still out there. Don't think it is divisive other than doing it at a veterans cemetery.
Nah, you just didn't hang in the proper circles. The 'rock on' symbol may be out of fashion, but 'devil horns' (same gesture) have always been cool.
I'm the same age as you, and I've been to so many shows over the last 2 decades where people were throwing horns and acts were calling on the crowd to throw them too.
Still super inapropes for a cemetery tho.
The widow of one of the soldiers was doing it as well in another photo.
Yes, and palm facing the person. It's a combination of the signed letters I, L, Y.
Oh, the explanation in literally in the link. -.-
