Center-right, previously strong (not far) right. That was clearly two Nazi salutes done by a drugged out oligarch. There's no way around it.

As a European center, does that put you between the radical far left (community based government, right to eat, right to housing, right to education, medical care for all, meeting and exceeding the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, etc.) and the radical far right (Monarchy, Totalitarian Oligarchy, the thing that Trump and Musk want, and will have to fight for)?

Or is it centrist as in between Neoliberal and MAGA?

The reason I ask is because here in the states Centrist means the latter, e.g. people who still hate the homeless and expect immigrants to go through (nonexistent for most) legal channels.

It's right out of Trump's playbook. You do something outrageous and evil, with just a smidgen of deniability.. it gets them attention. That's what they crave, to lead the news cycle, to be hated by the left but maintain enough deniability that the center and right will still be on your side. This is Trump 101.

Heat of the moment, not everyone you don’t like is a Nazi

At least those are the excuses I’ve seen

He said the magic words "my heart to you" clearly clarifies that his salute was meant to be that, duh /s

Also accidentally following a ton of Nazi accounts on Twitter and replying 'interesting!' or 'you're absolutely right!' whenever those accounts blame the Jews/globalists/immigrants for anything.

We need to stop using the word 'accident'. Accident my hole, he wanted to see if he could get away with it. So far he has.

it would have been better if it was a smile; he looked a bit too angry while talking "about his heart"

European here. Our centrists would be considered left by americans and not a single one I know thinks it wasn't a nazi salute who wasnt a right winger nut job.

He reportedly did a tweet mocking people for calling him Hitler (which I saw elsewhere since I'm not a user of his site). Incredibly, of all people, the ADL also chirped out the same "it was an accident" line as the media.

The problem is that America has no mainstream centrist or leftist media. It's either center-right or far-right. The closest we get to a progressive are comics like John Stewart and John Oliver.

He also did it twice in a row.

I doubt it. Even moderates understand that the richest man in the world getting his own White House department is novel and worth discussing.
