How do you do it? How do you sit through it without ripping your ears off? I cant stand listening to the guy. Even a toddler sounds more cohesive.. The moment I hear his voice I feel like my brain just killed a million brain cells out of protest.

Can someone explain these to me? They seem like Neo Nazi tattoos.

It's surprising Trump's own tattoos don't get more attention.

Trump kept insisting: “No, no: He had ‘MS’ as clear as you can be, not ‘interpreted.’"

That is astonishingly—but unsurprisingly—stupid.

It's one thing to insist that tattoos of a weed leaf, a smily face with "x" for its eyes, a cross, and a skull are pictographs for "M S 1 3". It's another to be such a dumbass that you think the superimposed text trying to explain that interpretation is the tattoo.

So just to be fair, whoever made that tried to illustrate that the 4 symbols - in their imagination - represent "M S 1 3". Which in itself is ludicrous. And even if they did, that's still no reason to deport him.

Anyhoo, Trump's reply when someone dared try to explain this to him:

“That was Photoshopped? Terry, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime. You’re doing the interview. I picked you because, frankly, I’d never heard of you, but that’s OK,” Trump said. “You’re not being very nice.”

This is everyday tyranny in action. It's also very dumb and very delusional. Louis XIV levels.

How is this farce still going on?

But then, just yesterday I learned a little about El Salvador and their idiot president. Who am I kidding. As long as the people go with it, it's possible no matter how ludicrous. I still say it's social media algorithms that got us here.

Fully agree, however, the press has done that before and he just shuts down the question with some remark about the reporter and if they press, he walks out. Aside from physical restraint, I don't think we will see him submit to any real questioning.

If he is MS13, why not imprison him in the US? Did you release a known terrorist?

I think it was created as a markup to explain why they thought the ambiguous tattoos were problematic, I hope they would have assumed no one would be stupid enough to think he literally had tattoos that managed to be flat perfect text in pure black in a photo.

But it turns out Trump is literally that stupid. Or it is convenient so he doesn't have to field answers like "where's some corroborating evidence to back up the claimed meaning".

Of course all of this is almost beside the point. We shouldn't be doing this in the court of public opinion, it should be in front of a real judge and if deported it should be in compliance with orders that he be deported to anywhere but Salvador, and even if someone deports to El Salvador, we shouldn't just directly deport straight to a prison that may not even have anything to do with country of origin.
