Trump Goes Full Knucklehead with MS-13 Tattoo Tantrum Over a Photoshopped Lie
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
One of the most amazing exchanges I've seen.
And this goes back to the picture that he put up about the guy they deported and said he's MS-13.
And here's proof of it.
Look, he's got tattoos on his fingers, and then on his knuckles...
They write MS13, saying that these tattoos that are on his fingers, like it was a marijuana leaf.
Okay, so that's them.
And there was a smiley face on the next finger.
Okay, so that's an S. And then we've got a cross on the fourth finger.
Wow, that's a one.
And then we have a skull.
Ah, see, that's a three.
Yeah, it's a three.
Because it's got three dots.
Sometimes they will have three dots tattooed.
They don't put them in skulls, really.
So we'll talk a little bit about that more.
But I showed that.
And I said, look, based on what Trump is saying, he really doesn't understand that this was photoshopped.
And yesterday he had surfaced the interview that he had ABC's Newsday 100 interview.
So it was ABC News, their 100-day interview for his 100th day.
So I guess it was two days ago.
Yesterday, the clips surfaced.
Terry Moran was the one who was doing the interview.
And they were discussing the case of this guy, Garcia.
Kilmar Garcia.
When Trump brought up the photoshopped image of him, of his hand, right?
And he said he wasn't a member of a gang.
And then you look at his knuckles.
And his knuckles say, MS-13.
He had MS-13 on his knuckles.
And Terry Moran just says, oh, that was photoshopped.
That set him off.
That set him off.
Boom.
And so you had this exchange going back and forth.
He wasn't a member of a gang.
And then they looked, and on his knuckles, he had MS-13.
There's a dispute over that.
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
He had MS-13 on his knuckles tattooed.
He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way.
But let's move on.
Wait a minute.
Hey, Terry, Terry, Terry.
He did not have the letter MS-13.
It says MS-13.
That was Photoshopped.
That was Photoshopped.
Terry, you can't do that.
I'm giving you the big break of a lifetime.
You know, you're doing the interview.
I picked you because, frankly, I never heard of you, but that's okay.
I picked you, Terry.
But you're not being very nice.
He had MS-13 tattooed.
We'll agree to disagree.
I want to move on to something else.
Do you want me to show you the picture?
I saw the picture.
Oh, and you think it was photoshopped?
Here we go.
Don't photoshop it.
Go look at his hand.
He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way.
I'm not an expert on them.
I want to turn to Ukraine.
No, no.
Terry, Terry.
No, no.
Let's move on.
He had MS, as clear as you can be, not interpreted.
This is why people no longer believe the news, because it's fake news.
When he was photographed in El Salvador, they aren't there.
But let's just go.
They aren't there when he's in L.S. Oh, they weren't there, but they're there now, right?
No. They're in your picture.
Terry. Ukraine, sir.
He's got MS-13 on his knuckles.
All right.
Okay? We'll take a look.
It's such a disservice.
We'll take a look at that, sir.
Why don't you just say it?
Yes, he does.
And, you know, go on to something else.
Isn't that amazing?
How childish, petulant, and ignorant he is.
He can't tell that that is a...
You can't tell if that is photoshopped.
I mean, look at that.
Look at the difference.
Look at how one of them is in perspective and how it's faded down there.
And obviously they wrote in their MS-13.
And Trump thought that it was the real thing.
And here's the thing, folks.
The sycophants that he has surrounded himself with.
And I mean, it's the entire Republican Party now.
You know, from the leaders down to the grassroots.
Nobody will hold him responsible.
If Trump says that the sky is polka dot, they'll all say the sky is polka dot, no matter what they see.
Nobody will tell the emperor that he has no clothes.
And he has no clues as to what's going on.
They're all just court jesters around this guy.
He surrounded himself with a bunch of yes men.
And he couldn't take that from this guy, Terry Moran.
And Terry Moran was like, okay, yeah, it was Photoshop, but, you know, we can look at it.
No, you say it.
You say that he had MS-13 tattooed on his knuckles.
On his knuckles.
Well, you know, the problem with it, and I pointed this out when Trump first did it, I said, you know, they set up this...
They had this Democrat senator go down to see him.
And the El Salvadoran government released these pictures after they sent him down.
And you can see that it is not on his hand.
There's no question about it.
I mean, you can look at it, and anybody who...
I don't understand how anybody can look at that and not understand that they put that text in there.
But there's a picture of it.
And he says, oh, well, you know, those were old pictures.
No, this is the picture after you sent him away because you said that he had it tattooed on his hand.
You can see it's not there.
This is an old picture where you can also see that he doesn't have it on his hand.
But it's this Photoshop picture that Trump's going to go, and he's going to demand that everybody say that it is what he says it is.
And it's absolutely absurd.
I find it hilarious because this proves Trump is just your stereotypical Facebook idiot getting one shot by AI images.
Not even AI.
I mean, it's just crude Photoshop.
I don't even think the people that did it intended to deceive anybody.
It's just that Trump is so stupid that he fell into that.
And then he's so arrogant that you've got to do what he has to say.
Here's the thing, folks.
That's not the evidence for sending him out.
And just as Trump is saying, this is why nobody believes you.
No, Trump, this is why nobody believes, should believe you.
I don't know if they believe him or not.
But they will follow him.
And they will support him.
Just like the absurdity that we saw yesterday.
About that, well, Amazon's going to tell people about this tax that's been added.
You can't list a tax.
Well, they list.
They list the sales taxes.
They list the shipping charges.
We've had restaurants that show the surcharges that are put on restaurants or hotels that have a surcharge put on them by local government.
They list that kind of stuff.
Oh, well, it's inflation.
As we talked about yesterday, Trump had nothing to do with the massive inflation that we've got, with all the universal basic income nonsense that he did and taking up...
Government spending to a completely new trajectory that was maintained by Biden.
That's a big part of that.
But, of course, he had a problem with the inflation, but the inflation is very different, as I pointed out.
You've got restaurant owners who are talking about how much food has gone up.
All the food has gone up different amounts.
The beef had gone up so much, this restaurant owner stopped selling beef.
So inflation is not a particular percentage that is directly applied to every bill.
You can't itemize inflation.
That's the absurdity of it.
And it's also the dishonesty to say that Jeff Bezos, who has, you know, this is a tax that's being put on.
That's what they don't want you to see, that you're going to be paying anything.
Remember?
They said it's not going to be paid by American consumers.
Yes, it is.
And the fact that they flipped out about it.
It shows that they were lying, and they know that they were lying.
Everybody knows that it's a tax.
They're not that stupid that they don't know that it's a tax.
All tariffs are taxes.
They're not going to be paid by other people.
That's why I say Donald Trump is nothing but a New York Democrat, because a New York Democrat will tell you, we're going to raise taxes, but don't worry, you're not going to pay it.
Other people are going to pay it.
Bad other people.
It's only fair those other people pay the tax.
And that's the way he sold the tariff.
And he lied to people.
He said it's not going to raise the price of stuff.
And then when somebody is going to put it there as an itemized statement, look at how apoplectic they get.
And look at how they call the other people propagandists.
If he were to put that up, and Bezos bowed to him.
See, that's the fear that everybody has against this guy.
Because he's not a president.
He's a dictator.
I refuse to call Trump president.
He refuses to obey the Constitution, and that's a condition of his office.
He's not a president.
He's just Trump.
And he's just Dictator Don.
He's not even a president.
He doesn't deserve that title.
He's got power, but no authority.
No legitimate authority for what he's doing.
He has no legitimate authority for these emergencies that he's put on, for any of this stuff.
But, you know, when you look at Terry Moran, And good for him.
I thought he was, he kept trying to move on.
Let's talk about something else.
Okay, fine.
Let's just talk about something else.
He wasn't going to bow down to Trump and accept, okay, so yeah, he does have MS-13 on his knuckles.
He knows that's not true.
And he's not going to kowtow to Trump and say that it is true.
But let's move on.
We disagree with that.
He finishes by saying, well, it's contested.
Right?
Let's just move on.
Can we talk about something?
Let's just talk about something.
No, you will say it.
Say it, Terry.
Say that I'm right.
Bow to me.
Kiss my ring.
Right?
Or other parts of his anatomy.
And when you compare that interview to what Candace Owen did, when she tried half-heartedly...
To confront him on his kill shot bioweapon.
...of big pharma, which is a huge topic on the minds of mothers especially.
You're seeing what's happening at these school board meetings.
Where do you stand on these vaccine mandates?
And obviously I know that you are pro-vaccine, obviously.
She only wants to talk about the mandate.
It was one of the greatest achievements.
We did it in less than nine months.
100% to be able to do that.
Oh, you're great.
But now it's in a twist, right?
Now we went from this is a good thing and people should have this option to military men.
you're going to have to resign because you're not getting this vaccine.
Where do you stand on that?
Well, I stand on forget about the mandates that people have to have their freedom.
But at the same time, the vaccine is one of the greatest achievements of mankind.
We would have had a 1917.
Remember, the Spanish flu killed perhaps 100 million people.
We've heard this.
What I want you to see was the difference between Terry Moran, who says, okay, let's just move on.
But yeah, it was Photoshop.
You know, it's not Photoshop.
And how he reacted to her.
She knew that she would get that kind of treatment if she confronted Trump.
And she knew that her career would be over with a MAGA cult.
And she let him get away with mass murder.
That's a lot more important.
What she kowtowed to him over is a lot more important than if you got MS-13 tattooed on your knuckles or not.
And I say this about this guy.
Why in the world don't they focus?
I think he likely is connected with cartels.
I still think he needs to have due process.
I don't like the way this thing operated.
Look, the reason I say I think he is is because of what surfaced later, which was not part of them sending him out.
And it's not the case that Trump wants to make.
Why doesn't Trump point out the fact that he was apprehended in Tennessee?
Transporting eight people, none of whom had any idea or spoke English.
And when they stopped him, the car that he was driving was with somebody who was a convicted gang member.
It belonged to somebody else who was a convicted gang member.
And so it was obviously trafficking people.
Why don't you talk about that instead of this phony thing about the knuckles?
See, Trump can't even manage to do the right thing.
It's right there in front of him.
And that's everybody in his administration, including Pam Bondi and the rest of these people, Homan and all the rest of them.
Why not talk about the real thing?
And here's the other part of it.
You say, okay, we know this guy's a murderer.
Let's just kill him right now.
You need to go through the process of a trial and due process.
Even if you've got eyewitnesses who saw this person shooting people and you apprehend them, you go through the process.
And it's not enough to say, well, we all know that he killed them.
Yeah, fine.
Okay.
Let's go through the process.
Because if it's a serious crime, especially if it's a serious crime, you want to have due process for everybody.
You don't want to get rid of that.
And yes, that's for everybody that's here in America.
In the same way that when we look at the FISA thing, right, we don't want the spy.
We don't want the government.
Spying on American citizens without a search warrant, right?
And so that's why they created the FISA court.
Said, you've got to go to the FISA court.
We'll get a little phony search warrant.
And then they used it to get essentially a warrant to spy on Mr. and Mrs. Verizon, everybody in the world.
They used that purpose.
But the purpose of FISA was to say, you're not going to spy on Americans without a search warrant.
And you are not going to spy on whether the Americans are in America or whether they're abroad.
You're not going to spy on them.
And you're not going to spy on foreign citizens if they're in America either.
The El Salvadoran government comes out and puts those drinks down.
Margaritas, I think it was.
That would be it.
Margaritas.
Latin America.
So they put some margaritas on the table.
Take a picture of them.
And by doing that, as I pointed out, by doing that, you can see his hand.
And he doesn't have MS-13 on it.
But think about how dishonest that is.
And how dishonest what Trump is doing.
You may really have a cartel guy there.
But let's get real.
Because we need to have a rule of law and you need to have some credibility.
So he's got a marijuana leaf, a smiley face, a cross.
So the marijuana leaf is supposed to be the M. You know, it's supposed to be indicative of an M. The smiley face is supposed to be indicative of an S. The cross is supposed to be a 1. And the skull is supposed to represent a 3. Because,
you know, he's got two eye sockets and a mouth or whatever.
But it doesn't look like the three dots that the MS-13 does.
He kept saying, well, that was interpreted, and then there was a Photoshop thing that put CMS-13.
No, no, no.
It was there.
Stupidly wrong.
MS-13 experts said that none of the pictorial tattoos on the photograph is a known signifier of MS-13.
Now, this is PolitiFact, which I typically find them to be wrong about everything, but I showed that stuff to you.
I don't need...
A gang expert, I showed you pictures of what the MS-13 people do.
They are loud and proud about their tattoos.
And that's what the people that PolitiFact talked to said.
They said, well, you know, they don't try to hide it.
I mean, they do tattoo it on their face.
They've got like an MS on their back that's like the entire back, you know, and then the 1-3 that is there as well.
It's loud and proud when they do this.
They said, one person said, well, I don't believe that a dangerous individual, quote-unquote, would have such anodyne and farcically generic tattoos on his hand.
And that's what I showed.
I said, this is what the real MS-13 guys are.
It's really hardcore, satanic, gigantic, in your face or on their face.
See, because they're big, they're loud and proud about their tattoos.
as they could be interpreted as an attempt to hide or to downplay their gang affiliation.
That type of concealment goes against the gang's norms, which often demand bold, visible demonstrations
Of identity and loyalty.
So I don't think that he's, that's an MS-13 tattoo.
He may not be MS-13.
He may just be another cartel.
Fine.
Deport him.
Put him in prison.
I don't care.
But do the due process.
Trump said Abrego Garcia, quote, had MS-13 on his knuckle tattoos and that it was not interpreted, but it was.
Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created common paths to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common.
That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation.
If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers.
