He thinks the "M S 1 3" in #000 black Ariel font is really part of the picture.
It's surprising Trump's own tattoos don't get more attention.
Trump kept insisting: “No, no: He had ‘MS’ as clear as you can be, not ‘interpreted.’"
That is astonishingly—but unsurprisingly—stupid.
It's one thing to insist that tattoos of a weed leaf, a smily face with "x" for its eyes, a cross, and a skull are pictographs for "M S 1 3". It's another to be such a dumbass that you think the superimposed text trying to explain that interpretation is the tattoo.
Wait, what? I missed that detail. He thought the numbers and letters were part of the tattoo? LOL
Sweet Baby Jesus put that man in a nursing home. He shouldn't be handling metal cutlery, let alone the nuclear launch codes.
This is the guy that stared into the sun during an eclipse.
This is the guy that thinks stealth planes are invisible.
This is the guy that thinks "clean coal" is when they dig it up then wash it.
black Ariel
(sorry; dumb joke was just sitting there)
Disney live actions are short sighted copyright renewals dumber than your joke. I'm still mad Pinnochio got Tom Hanks on that dogshit script.
The photo:
So just to be fair, whoever made that tried to illustrate that the 4 symbols - in their imagination - represent "M S 1 3". Which in itself is ludicrous. And even if they did, that's still no reason to deport him.
Anyhoo, Trump's reply when someone dared try to explain this to him:
“That was Photoshopped? Terry, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime. You’re doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I’d never heard of you, but that’s OK,” Trump said. “You’re not being very nice.”
This is everyday tyranny in action. It's also very dumb and very delusional. Louis XIV levels.
How is this farce still going on?
But then, just yesterday I learned a little about El Salvador and their idiot president. Who am I kidding. As long as the people go with it, it's possible no matter how ludicrous. I still say it's social media algorithms that got us here.
it’s social media algorithms that got us here
Definitely, but those that were pumped with money for fake ads to convince idiots to vote for destruction

It was the combination of hyper-capitalism and the Russian playbook to destabilize the west that got us here.
Don't forget MSM sane washing everything he does.
Clearly made with MS Paint 13.0. isn't this just the watermark from MsPaint?
These ones are real, though:
Can someone explain these to me? They seem like Neo Nazi tattoos.
They seem that way because they are that way.
They are, he is an extremist Christian. These are all used as dog whistles by Neo Nazi.

If you guys didn't watch the interview it's (to no one's surprise) fucking embarrassing. Terry keeps trying to move on while remaining firm and Trump just sits there being an argumentative shit because Terry refuses to budge. Good on him for keeping his journalistic integrity, and another pile of dicks to Donnie boi to suck.
How do you do it? How do you sit through it without ripping your ears off? I cant stand listening to the guy. Even a toddler sounds more cohesive.. The moment I hear his voice I feel like my brain just killed a million brain cells out of protest.
Honestly the entire time I was suffering but basically was interested in the dude doing the interview. Yeah it hurt. A lot. I think I lasted a minute.
Holy shit. I thought this was clearly intentional propaganda targeting the very extremely dumb that would take the mistaken impression from it without any of them being on record saying the fake part, but did no one tell him?
I think it was created as a markup to explain why they thought the ambiguous tattoos were problematic, I hope they would have assumed no one would be stupid enough to think he literally had tattoos that managed to be flat perfect text in pure black in a photo.
But it turns out Trump is literally that stupid. Or it is convenient so he doesn't have to field answers like "where's some corroborating evidence to back up the claimed meaning".
Of course all of this is almost beside the point. We shouldn't be doing this in the court of public opinion, it should be in front of a real judge and if deported it should be in compliance with orders that he be deported to anywhere but Salvador, and even if someone deports to El Salvador, we shouldn't just directly deport straight to a prison that may not even have anything to do with country of origin.
trump is the very extremely dumb.
I had a long drawn out argument with a guy who insisted that HitlerPig was saying that the "tattoo" was just labelling his other tattoos, despite his original post clearly calling it a tattoo, and multiple sunsequent statements insisting it was a tattoo.
Obviously it wasn't a tattoo, and this guy was insistent that HitlerPig never claimed it was, when he did, over and over, and here he is, still sticking to it.
The point is that these people believe whatever nonsense they make up is the truth, despite all evidence to the contrary.
"Dont bother me with facts, my mind's made up."
The real reason he will justify this bullshit like that is because he has to admit hes racist otherwise, "if hes brown I want him gone from my town" basically. Ask him if we should be deporting white right wing gang members based on their tattoos and show him cropped photos of Hegseths tats.
Full interview is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBwCUPttprw
I really wish some of these reporters would dig in and challenge him. I get that its uncomfortable, but that's your job.
His questions should have been:
Fully agree, however, the press has done that before and he just shuts down the question with some remark about the reporter and if they press, he walks out. Aside from physical restraint, I don't think we will see him submit to any real questioning.
Trump is delusional. He also said in the interview that tourism has gone up and that the world's respect fir America has improved
"Photoshopped? You can't do that, Terry."
LOL
Unirionically our funniest president. Shame he might be our last.
I’d be happy with him being the last President… if we switched to a parliamentary system where a PM is required to form a coalition and RCV was the law of the land.
Republicans are fucking pathetic.
Republicans no longer exist. It is the MAGA party, and it has very little in common with the Traditional GOP.
And all MAGAs are Traitors.
Honestly I'm curious how the hell skull is even supposed to symbolize 3. A cross meaning one because "one true god" is a bit of a stretch too but the skull?
I think it’s because skull is cráneo in Spanish and so it starts with C, which is the third letter of the alphabet
That’s how conspiracy theories work. Mostly with dumb shit
