#Trump posted a photo of himself holding up a picture claiming to show #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s tattoos that prove he’s MS-13.

The picture he’s holding has obviously been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13.

The source of this BS is a neo-Nazi X user who claims the tattoos are code for “MS-13.”

This is why you try people in court of #law & not on social media.

does this add up to one of the largest libel/slander cases in history or is the executive branch largely immune to that?

So, you're saying that proving in court beyond a reasonable doubt that the guy is an evil sinister gang member would be a total slam dunk. Do I have that right?

Because in that case, why not, you know, DO that?

No. I’m saying in a court of law you cannot present manufactured evidence. You do whatever you want on social media platforms like X.

Sorry, that came out wrong. The "you" I was addressing was Trump. Mastodon puts your ID in front of what I typed, which confuses that point. I'll watch that in the future.

The ms13 photoshopped in are not intended to be understood as IRL, but to explain the meaning of the tattoos below. Those tattoos might also be photoshopped or not mean what Trump etc claim they do. And probably lots of his supporters think the ms13 text is an actual tattoo. IDK. IDC.

We provide due process. You correct mistakes. We follow the fucking law and change it if necessary. This isn't hard. People want to win the PR war more than do proper civics. That's how democracy ends.

@interfluidity Maybe the "MS-13" was openly added as explanation of what the symbols mean

@Nonilex
Trump's tendencies to take a sharpie to maps to make them conform with whatever claim he's made crosses over to using photoshop ai for the same purpose.
in reply to Nonilex

It’s *possible* as some are saying that whoever altered the photo did so to explain the tattoos.

1. If that is the case, I doubt #Trump realized it.

2. MS-13 is notorious for boldly displaying the gang’s name in their tats. They don’t use code.

3. The neo-Nazi that came up w/this tattoo theory claims the cross & the skull are covering what used to be a 1 & a 3. That skull for sure was not a 3.

And there is this.
A previous photo that includes the same hand, but without that tattoo.

It's a good thing we have such skilled tattoo interpreters at ICE that can decipher these cryptograms even after they have been altered with photoshop.

These dummies consistently show what stupidity looks like. I guess if you keep trump in a closet with a tv tuned to fox, and Miller whispering in his ear he will believe anything they tell him. Grandpa dodder needs to go by by now.

Oh my God! They’re right; it’s code:
G for grass
O for overdosed
P for priestly
S for skull.
He’s a Republican!

MAGAts keep insisting that Trump isn't a Nazi, yet he sure loves to parrot narratives that were started by Nazis.
