Internet Sleuths Slam Trump for Photoshopping MS-13 Tat on Deported Dad's Hand
Internet Sleuths Slam Trump for Photoshopping MS-13 Tat on Deported Dad’s Hand (The Daily Beast)Social media users are accusing President Donald Trump of photoshopping an image he posted of a tattoo on deported dad Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s hand that the president argued represented the MS-13 gang.
“This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such ‘a fine and innocent person,’” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post Friday. “They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles.”

The post included an image of Trump holding up a photo of a man’s fist with four symbols, each accompanied by a tiny label: a marijuana leaf, a smiley face, a cross, and a skull. Above each symbol appeared the characters “M,” “S,” “1″, and “3.”

Now, online sleuths are pointing out that both the labels and the characters were digitally added to the photo Trump posted—they aren’t actually part of the tattoo. They argue that by leaving that info out, Trump was trying to mislead the public.
