          His tattoo artist is incredible getting those perfect “Marijuana” “Smile” “Cross” and “Skull” annotations below each knuckle tattoo! /s

        Being entirely clear. It’s the actual letters. Some right wing guys tried saying that he wasn’t trying to pass the letters off as real and the left was just freaking out over labels. Then this.

          So wait, it really was the labels that hes trying to pass off as real? I thought the whole thing was trying to pass off his actual finger tattoos as symbolism for MS13, even though actual MS13 just uses the actual numbers and letters.

            The interview makes it completely clear, Trump doesn’t want to move on from the topic until the interviewer agrees that the literal characters M,S,1,3 are tattooed on the knuckles. Not tattoos that could be interpreted to mean MS13, literally “MS13”.

            Either Trump really is that stupid that he believes its real, or the Whitehouse is doctoring photographs and telling everyone they’re real like the USSR did, albeit less competently.

                It was never meant to be a doctored photo, they look like they’re photoshopped because the goal was just to use them as labels, pointing to the actual tattoos. Trump is just an idiot and doesn’t understand technology

                  I heard a right wing talking head saying that tattoos on your fingers and knuckles are a gang thing.

                  Really? I guess im part of the Hyrule gang since I have Zelda tattoos on my fingers.

                  The dude has a weed logo, a happy face with x eyes, a cross and a skull. In what universe is that a gang thing? My wife has harsher tattoos than that

            He keeps specifying “on his knuckles” and he expected people to buy the hurricane sharpie ridiculousness, so yeah. That’s probably what he means.
