The claim wasn't that the skull symbolizes 3, it's that the tattoo originally *was* a 3 and then later got covered up by/incorporated into the skull design to hide it. Same as the cross being an embellished 1, not symbolizing 1.
How in the hell can anyone think the skull covers a 3?? There's uninked skin where the lines of the number should be! And yes, I've spent minutes of my life I'll never get back trying to conjure a 3 out of that image, and failing.
The *original* claim was that the Marijuana leaf symbolized M, the Marshmello Smiley symbolized S, but the numbers were cover-up jobs. Because when they need it to be a symbol, it's a symbol, and when they need it to be a cover-up, it's a cover-up. Hence why it's dubious.
And Trump's gonna Trump.
He's so out of it, I honestly can't tell if he thinks the superimposed MS-13 from that pic is actually part of the tattoo, or he thinks the symbolism is so obvious in hindsight that he can't believe anyone doesn't read the pot leaf to skull as MS-13, or if he has forgotten the symbols exist at all.
right? and even if we’re talking about the obvious ones, it’s still 4. both eyes, nose, mouth. the number 3 just does not enter the conversation at all lol
Thought they “decoded” it as calevera is skull in Spanish. Calevera starts with a C, C is the 3rd letter. So its 3. Like the Marijuana leaf is supposed to be the M and the Sonrisa (smile) is the S.
That is all a distraction from the illegal deportation, lack of due process, etc.
You underestimate the right wing's investment in numerology. It was fringe conspiracy stuff that now probably has a greater hold on evangelical logic than people think.
It's really useful to be able to make up whatever 'code' you like because people don't see through the con.
The Spanish for skull is "craneo" and C is the third letter of the alphabet; but this doesn't explain how the cross is supposed to be 1, or the fact that MS-13 tattoos are big and explicit rather than subtle numerology riddles.
You see, they just lie and make things up without a care of plausiblity because the people they're communicating to are in on the scam, racist, or the most credulous people on earth. Classic example of a dog whistle.
they don’t. the superimposed text is unrelated to the tattoos, the trump administration just hastily fabricated "proof" in ms paint and tried to use it as justification to abduct a man and send him to a labor camp.

If only we'd had him codebreaking the Nazis during WWII...
Which is anatomically... Rather questionable.
well, no wonder I got kicked out of the bowling alley
The sad thing is I can 100% see that :(
LOL, thank you for the clarification :)
