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

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?
Trump can do no wrong!
 
I agree.

So why doesn't Donald do the right thing, but instead insist on acting like a tinpot dictator?

Ego. A lack of political foresight. Bad counsel. Could be lots of things.

It's a bit mystifying, since this guy isn't going to get a televised jury trial with talking heads deconstructing each day's events anyway. It could be as simple as a hearing before an immigration judge who says, "The conditions of your previous special dispensation no longer apply, and that dispensation is revoked."
 
Trump can do no wrong!
He is totally underwater on the economy, inflation and tariffs and is starting to lose ground on immigration. People want the border closed, they want deportations but they want them done in accordance with the law and the courts. His tactics are starting to backfire on him.
 
The real hand photo without the MS-13 is the doctored photo, thanks to George Soros, leftist media, commies and Trump haters.
All you have to do is zoom in on the one Trump is showing to see the letters are fake.
 
The Supreme Court has ruled the deportee must have a hearing in an immigration court before deportations. Are you unaware of their original ruling as it relates to deportations under the Alien Enemies Act and their subsequent emergency ruling last night regarding the migrant deportations in Texas?

Okay, my post 128.

The whole thing could be over in a couple days. That might not suit either side though.
 
That's the same tattoo shown in the photo Trump is holding.
Wrong hand. The label should read “31SM”

They just know y’all really need to keep the faith and won’t question much to protect your egos.
 
Even if someone proved beyond a shadow of a doubt those were "MS-13 tattoos," tattoos alone do not prove gang membership, and gang membership alone does not necessitate deportation nor the violation of due process at play here.

Right wingers are grasping at the thinnest straws (not even) to justify fascist authoritarianism. That's it. We are debating people who are deeply unserious, do not operate in good faith, and have no actual moral principles other than "my side good your side bad."

At this point, they can't even prove that.

Is your post meant to be productive, or partisan puke obscuring productivity? I vote the latter.
 
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.
Wrong hand.
 
None of what you said has anything to do with providing me any ****ing proof or evidence that those symbols mean MS-13.

By this logic I can play enough mental gymnastics to glean anything from any tattoo. Like this.

In your obvious rage-posting and desperate attempt to find someone, ANYONE, to have your predetermined arguement with, you have failed to grasp that at no point did I make the claim that "those symbols mean MS-13."

So yeah, complicated as that may be to understand, that's why I'm not trying to prove that's what they mean.

Given that you're very-aggressively speaking out publicly against "fascist authoritarianism" with seemingly no fear at all, I applaud you for being so brave. It takes guts to do what you do.

Trump would be wise to get him home, before an immigration court and out of the country immediately and call it a win. However, I doubt he will. I think he'll enjoy the contempt order more. He can really play that one up on X and Fox. He will however have to stop sending anymore people out without a hearing or face serious backlash and weaken his immigration policy popularity.
 
Its an insult to the intelligence of your target audience to support due process?

No, you must be confusing me with another poster because I did not make any post referencing due process like that.

You are claiming the trump photo op is accurate. Just labeled.

But it appears they swapped orientation so they could make it say ms13.

So which photo is fake? One of them is.

And trump drew a path of a hurricane to fit a claim he made.

With a sharpie.

And I say your vote doesn’t count. You did not provide me with proper ID!
 
Its not the actual letters. The symbols are

Marijuana - M
Smile - S
Cross - 1
Skull - 3

The picture that shows them backwards may be a flipped image which would explain it's seemingly his right hand
I’m going to go find that image. There are certainly elements of that image that will answer that question.

I’ll be back.

Do you think returning him, giving him his hearing and deporting him all within a couple day's time will satisfy the opposition that view this as nothing more than fodder for a silly narrative? Or will they continue to carp about photoshop conspiracy?
