Trump following Bolsonaro playbook

metacogito.bsky.social•1 day ago

ok but why is it

BIG HEADLINE:

datadoggy.bsky.social•1 day ago

So if we all got a temporary M13 tattoo are we all going to be sent to an El Salvadorian concentration camp.

thejohnmckay.bsky.social•1 day ago

I would not try and test that theory.

datadoggy.bsky.social•1 day ago

It's pretty much what the Dutch did during the Holocaust. It was a brave thing then and it would be a brave thing now.

rdelatorre.bsky.social•4 hours ago

The 4 symbols do represent common gang visual representation of numbers that actually do spell out MS 13. Bro still needs due process but it’s interesting to see liberal and conservative media both miss this point.

ellisor.net•1 day ago

but Bill, MS-13 uses wingdings

livelaughdrink.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is classic. Stealing

johnpdeever.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yes, although why would the guy who Sharpies an imaginary hurricane trajectory that betters fits his narrative ever admit the truth. He is shameless.

wappingbloke.bsky.social•1 day ago

I'm still not convinced that the photo-shopper intended people to think the letters and digits were tattoos. I think the intention was just to label the real tattoos. Trump is so stupid that he thought that the digits were tattoos and now his lackeys will have to pretend that is the case.

legaleagle7223.bsky.social•1 day ago

This is what I think too. But it’s already become an article of faith on the right that he actually has those tattoos.

wappingbloke.bsky.social•1 day ago

Nobody ever accused the MAGA crowd of being clever

legaleagle7223.bsky.social•1 day ago

They’ll believe anything their cult leader says and anything that matches their narrative, no matter how absurd.

lauriemartineau.bsky.social•1 day ago

That's how I took it too - they tried to say he represented the letters/digits with secret symbols- which was a big stretch. But Trump took it to say the actual type was tattooed. SM probably got tired of explaining his conspiracy and just let him go with it. And of course - they're going all in

barbiedahl16.bsky.social•1 day ago

Then why didn't they line up the letters? And the "3" looks like it was warped to look like it wraps around the finger.

wappingbloke.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am very open to the possibility that the photo-shoppers are even more stupid than I thought. Maybe I am being generous but it doesn't look to me like someone has put real effort into making them look like tattoos. They could of course just be lazier than I think

barbiedahl16.bsky.social•1 day ago

I agree, but I do feel like it wasn't done in a way to saw the "MS-13" as just a reference. Plus, when Trump made the post, he said the "MS-13" was tattooed on his knuckles.

wappingbloke.bsky.social•1 day ago

You are right that the 3 appears to be wrapped around a little but the M isn’t. I think both labelling and very lazy fakery are possibilities. We can all agree Trump has naturally chosen the stupidest explanation though

barbiedahl16.bsky.social•1 day ago

And his cult makes excuse after excuse. One guy was telling me that Trump used the fake image just to troll the Liberals, and we were all stupid for believing Trump was pawning off that image as real.

barbiedahl16.bsky.social•1 day ago

And don't forget...these are the same people that used a Sharpie to put Alabama in the path of a hurricane, instead of using an old map, when Alabama was still in the path of the hurricane. And it was obvious they used a Sharpie.

wappingbloke.bsky.social•1 day ago

You are probably right that I am making the unforgivable error of assuming any intelligence in MAGA world

jeannettesmyth.bsky.social•1 day ago

When the mouthpiece of capitalism (see also Financial Times) blows you out of the water on trade wars and tariffs, and starts pointing out your lies on other matters, I think you can say you've lost the trade war. At least.

theted.bsky.social•1 day ago

so, trump thinks the lettering "m s 1 3" that someone used as a bull shit translation of "pot, smile, cross, skull" is actually part of the tattoo?

"I picked you. Terry, you're not being very nice."

He chose the interviewer,
then whined about the interviewer that he chose.

mcgimleteye13.bsky.social•1 day ago

It appears from this photoshopped image that Trump's staffers are lying to him. He won't pick up on it.

soonersean.bsky.social•1 day ago

This dementia addled asshole is president. On a daily basis it comes harder and harder to believe.

"Four letters, four knuckles. The proof is damning!"

forensicguy.bsky.social•1 day ago

ABC settled with a liar only to lie on ABC.

mellowwayne.bsky.social•1 day ago

All of this would be discussed and debated in a court of law, rather than in the news or on social media, were we following the law and due process, instead we have a person that was kidnapped from the country and sent to a concentration prison camp.

MAGA will scream '𝘗𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘰𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘥'! 🤦
This will be a true test of the resilience of reality itself.

bwkemper.bsky.social•1 day ago

The evidence is found in Trump's picture alone. The letters are obviously (and incompetently) photoshopped.

The lines aren't altered by the posture of the hand, lighting, etc which would be the case if they were an actual tattoo.

hoefjes.bsky.social•1 day ago

Repeat every day. Every hour.

stanthemanchan.bsky.social•1 day ago

Better yet, open the image in photoshop on a computer in front of him and put in the text and save it to show him what "photoshop" means.

livelaughdrink.bsky.social•1 day ago

If the “code” was so prevalent among MS13 gang members, wouldn’t it be easy to show similar examples vs this crazy Enigma code theory?

livelaughdrink.bsky.social•1 day ago

What’s worse, is dummy didn’t fully understand that photo. It’s just an embarrassment to the office.

These are not serious people.

1984 …. The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears …..

mbat614.bsky.social•1 day ago

If you had to bring evidence of Trump’s lying to every interview you’d need a U-Haul

victor-laszlo.bsky.social•1 day ago

Really?!

the4thpip.bsky.social•1 day ago

They might have to bring a truck full of evidence in preparation of all the lies Trump might possibly tell.

He's "looking" at the picture, but he's still seeing that eclipse.

He will say you are the photoshopper. He is immune from reality.

noahafrank.bsky.social•1 day ago

It’s why you have to draw a line at “Gulf of America” — because it leads directly to this. You have to challenge every obvious lie, or else the really dangerous ones start to stick https://open.substack.com/pub/prettygoodat/p/choosing-my-words-carefully?r=fufs&utm_medium=ios

We are days away from identifying good v bad through tattoos. We are living in a Seussian Star-belly Sneetch world

cybrogtribe.bsky.social•1 day ago

I think the most insane thing isn’t that is was “photoshopped” but that the photoshopping wasn’t even intended to show actual letters on his fingers, just a label to match to each existing tattoo!

mazarin221b.bsky.social•1 day ago

No they didn't, you can tell by the way they tried to warp the three to wrap around his finger.

cybrogtribe.bsky.social•2 hours ago

In case any one wants to see the long form of this.
