I’m not sure why wearing a suit and a MAGA campaign merch hat is trying to appear as if he’s a soldier. If you mean the salute, presidents have been doing that for ages. The general public knows so little about salutes and related protocols that they’d take it as disrespectful if he didn’t salute.
Fascists have this weird tendency to appear as if they are soldiers. Attire, manner, etc. Hitler used to do this too.
