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.
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.
Trump's advisor situation has gone from yes-men to North Korean sycophant fairy tale land. If those around him saw he thought it really said "MS13" then I doubt anyone said a word, and instead probably just fed into it.
"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.

It was pretty funny for most of the first term. He's been getting progressively less funny ever since.

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
I mean, gangs use symbology in their tattoos all the time. Same with Nazis. I'm not saying that's what his tattoos mean at all, it's just that such tattoos absolutely exist and are common.
True, but it's not usually as coded as this or if it is, it's a symbol that is common to all - more corporate logo than DaVinci code.
Also...
symbology

Ah yes let’s believe the man who has his hands photoshopped to look bigger, he’s such a dumb asswipe
Trump doesn't strike me as the type to clean his rear.
Well duh, he's too busy wiping his mouth
Why does anyone even ask that compulsive liar questions any more? You'll never get a straight answer, and he'll just start calling you names if he doesn't like the question, which is most of them these days. Why bother?
I'd like to see a silent press conference. "Is anyone going to ask a question?" "Is it worth it?"
Orwellian in the extreme.
