Are there any English judges here? There is a howler in the document “The Judicial System of England and Wales” (2016, but still on the website). It is NOT true that in the civil law “defendants … are considered guilty until proven innocent”. What ignorant nonsense!

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Trump frees people from their inhibitions and makes them show themselves in all honesty and openness.
