ABC News' Day 100 interview with President Donald Trump went off the rails after reporter Terry Moran refused to accept Trump's false assertion that an altered photo was real.Trump and Moran were discussing the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — the Maryland resident who the administration admitted was ...
Pretty sure this is fake news. There are two options:
Either way it’s distraction. Garcia is still in a concentration camp.
Did you watch the whole interview or read it? There is no mistake. He thinks that on his knuckles was “M S 1 3” in Arial font in real life. The interviewer tried to give him the out, said that the tattoo could be interpreted that way, and then tried to move on. But Trump doubled down multiple times and said that there is no interpretation. That the literal letters and numbers were tattooed on him. So, there is no ambiguity to what Trump is insisting is true. You can question whether he is actually stupid enough to believe that (he is), or just thinks that his followers and the media are stupid enough to believe it (he does), but there is no longer any question as to whether Trump is claiming that the literal letters are tattooed on him. He said so unequivocally.
Based on the interview, it’s easier for me to believe the first option.
I think someone showed him the annotated picture and that person never believed he’d think the ms13 was literally part of the tattoo. Once he asserted it, who in his camp is going to tell him he’s wrong?
Yup. Nothing to be gained by getting into an argument with the king.
Option 1a, he believes the Arial font is a tattoo because he has shitty eyesight (so to him, the blurry text doesn’t look obviously Photoshopped on), but nobody knows that because he’s too vain to wear glasses.
(Still an idiot, of course)
