A hand gesture used to cover one's eyes when something traumatic, awkward, embarrassing, etc. just happened.
To preform the Trauma Salute, make your hand flat and bring your hand to your head like a normal salute. This is where we deviate from a normal salute to the Trauma Salute. Position your hand above your eyes, perpendicular to your forehead. Tilt your hand slightly downwards to cover your eyes. Finally, turn around and walk away from the incident.

1. There was an accident in the parking lot, I gave them the Trauma Salute and said "Not my problem!".
2. Mark just got dumped in front of everyone at the bar, I gave the man a Trauma Salute.

A pose where someone raises their left hand straight, coined by the famous Nazi leader "Adolph Hitler". In 2025, X CEO Elon Musk did it at the inaugural parade and got so much backlash.
Since then, Trump supporters on X makes their "god" Musk look good by posting a manipulated picture of Taylor Swift- the best female singer ever- doing it (on the actual picture, shes raising her right hand waving to the audience, NOT an Adolph Hitler salute), and obama "doing" it (although he never did, but posting pictures of him doing his famous wave pose, not even the salute since it's not positioned straight unlike what Musk and Adolph Hitler did).

This is the new hand symbol/gesture now used by literal nazis, as a another way of doing the “Sieg Heil”, or “Hitler Salute”. Once again, this gesture was originally not associated with Nazism and instead had several meanings with relationships, sports games, etc; however, in recent times neo-nazis and other far-right nationalists have been adopting new ways of dog whistling their message, and have now distorted this finger gesture.
