Trump Insists Abrego Garcia Has ‘MS-13’ Tattoo Despite Evidence of Altering

www.nytimes.com Trump Insists Abrego Garcia Has ‘MS-13’ Tattoo Despite Evidence of Altering

The White House declined to explain why President Trump did not appear to realize that the photograph he held up on social media had been altered.

To be honest, listening to that interview, not only is he still a gigantic asshole, I honestly can't tell if he's dumb or suffering from cognitive decline.

Evidence? Its not evidence, it is edited to show the supposed meaning if his tattoos. Its an intentionally visible edit as interpretation of meaning. Idk how anyone would think that was actually ink in the skin or anything other than what it is.
- I feel like this is Trump trying to stretch the interview so he doesn't have to talk about the economy for long. This part was painful to watch, and Terry Moran did try to get past arguing, but classic Trump got everyone talking about how he thinks the characters M S 1 3 are tattooed on his hands, rather than having a conversation about how crazy things are that just the fact you have tattoos will get you deported.
  
  I don't think that was deliberate, I think he really is that incredibly dumb and vain that he genuinely thought he was right. So right that he demanded the interviewer must concede and agree to his delusion before moving on. The size of his ego is only matched by the size of his stupidity
  It's all beside the point since even if he had MS13 tattoos, he still is owed due process. And sending someone to a concentration camp is of course a violation of international law
- Because people believe the big lie, the doublespeak, the gaslighting. Whatever you want to call it.
- Racism and American education is a hell of a drug.
  
  American what?

How about you present that evidence in a court of law?
- It’s ok; he essentially set up the Tribunal of Six in his first term, so they’re probably gonna give him a pass. And if they don’t, he’ll probably just tell ICE to arrest the ones that don’t agree with him and aren’t white (Clarence Thomas being the specific reason for that ideological condition)
- So you want courts to decide if people are in "gangs" so they can be put in concentration camps?
  That's a great example of how liberalism supports fascism.
  
  Did I say any of that? Don't put words in my mouth.

There's an easy way to settle this. Just bring him back to the United States and take some photos of his hands.
- They would probably forcibly tattoo "MS13" on his knuckles first before transporting him back from CECOT.

To me, it seemed less like he thought it was real, and more like he was just being deliberately belligerently obtuse knowing that his followers would believe him anyway.
- Really he made it pretty obvious he thought it was real.
  
  Or he's just a trained performer with an agenda
- Fascists don't actually care whether something is real or not.
  Trump knows dude is not very "white" and that's enough for him.
  The problem is when liberals like the NYTrash treat this as a valid debate, thus further legitimizing fascism.

A problem with fascism is that people believe it matters whether someone has a tattoo.
The libs feed into this. The NYTrash is also promoting this idea as usual.
People should not be put in concentration camps whether they're supposedly a member of a "gang" or not.

Looking at other MS-13 tattoos from actual members, Garcia's "MS-13" tattoos are simultaneously the best (for looking like they came off a typewriter) and the worst (for looking like they came off a typewriter).

Trump: "There are 5 lights!"

It wasn't just altered or photoshopped. It was annotated. He literally was saying an annotated image wasn't annotated.

News at ten! Liars gonna lie, especially the Liar in Chief

I suspect they're gonna start forcibly tattooing people.

Be safe. Don't help your enemies.

I mean, he's definitely dumb, that's obvious just on sight.
- He is a liar, for sure. But I think at this point, it's become pathological, and mixed with a good dose of early senile dementia.
  The things he says are so outrageous and obviously untrue and even the dumbest magat can tell he's spewing BS, but Trump doesn't even realize it anymore.
  He's essentially a crooked man who's grown into an angry old man, but instead of shaking his fist at the TV in a retirement home, he's sitting in the Oval Office.

Why not both?

Proper dumbass. Bigly.
