Trump Argues With ABC's Terry Moran About Photoshopped Image: 'He Had MS-13 On His Knuckles Tattooed!' [View all]

President Donald Trump spent nearly two minutes arguing that a photoshopped image was real during an interview with ABC News on Tuesday.

During a discussion about the deportation of illegal immigrant Kilmar Abrego Garcia, Trump referenced a photograph of Garcia’s knuckles, which showed his real tattoos – a marijuana leaf, a smiley face, a cross, and a skull – below the letters “MS13,” which had been edited on.

While the photo attempted to make the case that the symbols on Garcia’s hand were code for “MS-13,” Trump appeared to take the edited letters literally, believing that they had also been tattooed onto Garcia’s knuckles. “You’ll pick out one man, but even the man that you picked out, he said he wasn’t a member of a gang, and then they looked and on his knuckles he had MS-13,” said Trump during the interview.

After ABC News’ Terry Moran replied, “There’s dispute of that,” the interview devolved into an argument:

Trump: Wait a minute, he had “MS-13” on his knuckles tattooed!

Moran: He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way, but let’s move on.

Trump: Wait a minute. Hey, Terry. Terry. Terry. Don’t do that.

Moran: He did not have the letter “MS-13.”

Trump: It says “MS-13.”

Moran: That was photoshopped.

Trump: That was photoshopped? Terry, you can’t do that. They’ve given you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you’re doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I had never heard of you, but that’s okay. But I picked you, Terry, but you’re not being very nice. He had “MS-13” tattooed. Terry. Terry. Do you want me to show you the picture?

Moran: I saw the picture.

Trump: And you think it was photoshopped? Well, don’t photoshop it, go look at his hand. He had “MS-13.”

Moran: He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I’m not an expert on them.

This is the problem that was brought up in the OP for this story when it was initially reported, with some of us pointing out that THIS is how he is promoting this fraud - that the "MS 13" in the photo that he held up, was an actual tattoo (and his zombie followers, as well as those who don't really follow politics, will believe it) -
