Summary

Trump reportedly held up a digitally altered image of the hand of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland man who was deported by the Trump administration, in an attempt to prove Garcia is a gang member.

Trump can be seen holding a printed-out photo… demonstrating that “MS-13” is tattooed across his knuckles.

“This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back,” Trump posted. However, many have pointed out that the image appears photoshopped.

“MS-13 looks like it was typed on the photo.” “Needing to have a photo doctored… is definitely something a psychopath would do.”

    Alright, I’ll take the bait. Let’s all assume he has an MS-13 tattoo. What does this change? The dude still gets his constitutional rights, and his day in court. On US soil.

    Ok, so what happened here is that police added letters to the photo explaining what each symbol means. Some idiots on twitter thought those added letters are the claimed MS-13 tattoo. It’s not clear if Trump also thought that those letters were actually tattooed, probably yes.

      Bruh. So they went from M to S to 1 to 3? Instead of A to B to C … to 1 to 2 to 3?

      No. Don’t try to muddy the waters and spread more supposition as fact. Trump has already been proven to alter images to fit his own internal incorrect narrative, just look at that hurricane path incident from his last term. All evidence and common sense points to someone digitally editing this picture in order to fabricate support for this man’s illegal deportation.

        I think the point is that we all know they put in the MS13 digitally

        The argument isnt against that

        We all know it

        The argument is that the republicans arent arguing he literally has MS13 tattooed

        But that even they know that was added

        And thats its just added to help people figure out why the tattoos would represent MS13

        Its not that Republicans are saying the edited in part is part of the tattoo

        Just that the tattoos that are there represent MS13
