Experts Cast Doubt on Trump's Claim About Abrego Garcia's Tattoos

President Trump has repeatedly shared an image of Kilmar Abrego Garcia's finger tattoos in an effort to link the Maryland man to the notorious MS-13 gang. On Monday, Mr. Trump again shared a photo of Abrego Garcia's left hand on social media, alleging he "had 'MS-13' tattooed onto his knuckles." The image shows the characters "M," "S," "1" and "3" digitally added above Abrego Garcia's existing tattoos " a leaf, a smiley face, a cross and a skull " along with labels describing each symbol beneath. www.politifact.com

President Trump said that he does have the ability to bring back Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was wrongly deported to El Salvador, but is not willing to do so, undermining previous statements by his top aides. Here are the latest updates on the administration.

Did Trump have an iguana on his lap, like Dom DeLuise in Robin Hood: Men In Tights?

Terrible movie, but that scene was on.

#4: In Trumpf's head, of course tourism is going up. How many oligarchs, Saudis, and lickspittles flooded his club in Doral for the LIV golf tournament? The Dotard saw an ocean of people there, so to him tourism is sky-rocketing: www.golf.be

Seriously? Agree to disagree ?

No. Do not agree to disagree with a liar. Yiu hold him accountable for his lies. Even if this is your only interview ever. Be frickin honest.

Just frickin say it. Trumpy got caught in another totally blatant lie. Again.

There is nothing to agree to disagree with.

#8 | Posted by donnerboy at 2025-04-30 11:08 AM

#8-I totally agree. Moran is a moron.
"What are you a freaking idiot!" would have been the only proper response. Losers like him who sanewash King Dotard XIV are a big part of the problem.

Are his propaganda operatives on the right pills?

Perhaps he should execute their trainer?

He can't be deported to el sal because rival gang members may k*ll him, but he's not a gang member, you see.
His rival gang members, sure, they're gang members, but he's not. He's a rival gang member, god why can't you understand?!

Actually the 9-0 reason he should not have been deported is Due Process.

You will never address that.

#13 | Posted by snoofy at 2025-05-01 01:22 PM

A perfect example of what happens when Trump is finally told "no".

He's used to getting his way and lying so much that he believes it alters reality itself. Doesn't matter if something's photoshopped or changed with a Sharpie. If it serves his agenda it's the truth. He's a cult leader. Those closest to him will always confirm that his delusion is all that matters.

When Trump's finally called on it, this "alpha male", "champion of free speech" and believer of saying anything you want is stunned. He is now a victim. No one in the entire history of humankind has ever been treated so unfair. The armadillo rolls into a ball. The ostrich buries its head in the sand.

"I'm doing you a favor and you're not being very nice. You have to agree with me."

Garcia is pretending to be El Salvadorian. He is actually Irish Moore working on behalf of the Celts. Having infiltrated their rival, dressed in their clothing and "paying taxes" for decades he seamlessly operates his family cartel with impunity. "Bull in the China shop".. isn't it obvious? His clothing is from China - undoubtedly imported with the fentanyl to be distributed through Dick's Sporting Goods - the China shop. Isn't it curious how they happen to be located next to Home Depots where other Irish Moore congregate? Erma Gerrd, why cern't you understerrnd?!

That's all the republicans left on this site.

I've been here for decades and watched the number of republicans here dwindle as the republican party became harder and harder for an intellectually honest republican to defend.

Now trolls and klansmen are all that's left.

He wasn't so concerned with 'Due Process' when he entered the country illegally, though...

#20 | Posted by chiligordo at 2025-05-01 02:35 PM

Due Process under the Law isn't quite so necessary when you have a Klown Kult King instead.

Ax' any Trumper.

Just don't ask them the difference between Rex Lex and Lex Rex... you'll just get a really puzzled look.

Sounds like he shares your level of concern for Due Process!
But... aren't you supposed to be better than Gang Members?
No? Glad we cleared that up.

Yep.
All that's left of Republicans is the Wannabe Nazis, and Moderate Eberly.

Once someone sets foot on US soil (no matter how it is accomplished) they are now under the jurisdiction of the U.S. and the constitution. Not a moment before.

At one time (in the Before Times) we dreamed of duplicating our constitution all over world. I think that dream is pretty much dead now. Thanks to the Lyin King and his rabid horde of Orcs.

He also skipped the due process part when he savagely beat his wife at least twice - we only know the number of times it was reported. No idea on the actually number of times he beat her.

So, we have less Eurotrash coming to the US now too? I am already all in - you can stop trying to sell me now.

Hey Scott, have you stopped beating your wife yet, or what about that ankle biter you hate?

It must suck to be you.

#28 | Posted by shoeless at 2025-05-03 10:04 AM

This is exactly why Trumpy is firing all the experts!

We can NOT be having people who know actual "facts" interfere with or contradict Two Dolls Donnie's incoherent ramblings.
