Why does Trump insist on using a doctored photo of Garcia's hand tattoos? (2 Viewers)

It is already been shown to be a doctored photo, and yet not only did Trump use it last night, he's doing it again today via the official White House Xitter account.



Now, I understand MAGA is lost and they will only believe Trump's lies, but who else does he think he is fooling with this bullshit?

There is no "MS 13" on his hand, it's all bad photoshopping by Trump and co.

That's the same tattoo shown in the photo Trump is holding.

Trump and the RW media keep trying to pretend that the issue is his supposed gang membership being a reason to have him deported and imprisoned. It isn't the issue. The Supreme Court has ruled people cannot be deported without due process. That's the issue.....all of them including him are entitled to due process under the law...then deport them. Why can't Trumpers get that through their heads?

The official lies of the government. Fascism abounds.

We are talking about Trump. He would lie if you asked him what time it was.

Yes, but all that is irrelevant to my post, which simply points out the photo has aspects that are labelled...not photoshopped.

Now, if someone can introduce evidence that he doesn't have an image of a recreational herb on his first knuckle, I'll be willing to reconsider. But I don't see where the claim is that he has a literal "M" on that digit.
 
That's a label explaining the symbolism.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia‘s high-profile deportation battle rages on. Social media sleuths are now speculating that his knuckle tattoos reveal a secret code that spells out MS-13, allegedly proving the Trump administration's claims that he was once a gang member. However, when asked about the speculation, an ICE source told The Post that they'd never heard of these specific resemblances.

My point was the picture of the tattoo Trump showed is irrelevant in that his membership, or not, to MS13 has zero to do with the issue.
 
The photo Trump is holding is someone's left hand. The real photo is Garcia's right hand.

These guys are really bad at this.

That sometimes happens. I have a picture of one of my houses that is kind of disorienting because what would be "left" in real POV, becomes "right" from the POV of looking at the photo. Billy the Kid was characterized as left-handed for years, because of just such a thing.

I largely agree.

But it is relevant to this thread.
 
If there is so much evidence as to give them a slam dunk case against Garcia, then why not bring him back, charge him with a crime and incarcerate him?

They are still trying to conflate people's very real concern of sending people to a foreign prison camp and the desire to control immigration.

Do you understand the photo in Trump's hand was doctored?

Like, at all?

Does your brain compute?

Are you trying to deflect?

Do you even know you're doing it?

Illicit gangs often use esoteric imagery to signal membership to other comrades.

Hell...not just illicit gangs.

Umm...obviously not! If it were a label, it'd be in a little box or something, not one letter placed over each knuckle made to look like they're tattooed on his hand.

You can't be serious if you think that photo is supposed to indicate an actual "MS-13" on his fingers.

It doesn't look at all like they're tattooed on his hand. They're in a different shade, and lack perspective and contour.
 
I disagree. The entire point of Trump using that picture was to keep his base focused an issue that in and of itself is fraudulent.

The relevance to me is in this thread, where the claim is being made that additional tattoos were photoshopped onto his hand.

His membership in MS-13 may not be the issue as you say. But some are very keen to deny it as being possible at all. They apparently don't like the idea of admitting that yes he may be associated with MS-13, but that isn't relevant to the case.

Yes, that's how we know it's doctored. But it's clearly not meant to be a label. Here are links with lots of pics with labels:
