I had to upload the clip here because it's frankly insane. Possibly the most insane trump clip yet. His brain is pudding

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

TRUMP: He had MS-13 on his knuckles, tattooed! MORAN: That was photoshopped TRUMP: Terry, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. I picked you. But you're not being very nice. (Can't post the clip here because of @bsky.app's daily video limit but the text tells you what you need to know)

Terry Moran did a terrible job. Why just let his lie stand and try to move on to another question? He should have told trump, "It's not my job to be nice to you. My job is to ask you questions and get truthful answers from you. If you can't tell the truth, my job is to let the viewers know that."

The last thing the orange man said in the clip says it all “why don’t you just say he did have the tattoos and move on.” He can’t handle the truth. He needs everyone to agree with whatever comes out of his mouth. No questions asked. Making things great right? WTF!

Mom had frontal temporal dementia and we had same convo. Had a frozen pizza that she decided was best pizza she'd ever had. She was furious at me because I wouldn't agree it was best I ever had also. "It was tasty" and "I'm glad you enjoyed it so much" just made her dig in to me further.

I was just thinking the same thing. It’s like talking to my grandma who definitely has dementia but refuses to go to any doctor for it besides her cardiologist. I suspect it’s the same as your mom. She gets a thought in her head and ABSOLUTELY MUST put it in your head too.

I really want to know who photoshopped the image and gave it to him. Trump is so seriously corrupt, unstable and easily manipulated that I honestly don’t know if he is part of the deception or just believes what he was told/shown. With Trump, both are equally plausible.

sure isn't, he had tons of opportunities to press him on stuff and go down as a legend. He saved Don from driving himself off a cliff

Maybe I'm too kind, but it seems like most of the press just doesn't know how to handle this type of senility/insanity. They pivot away to try to keep on track because they are panicked.

Exactly. This is gonna go viral and it's not because the journalist did a good job it's because Trump literally stopped the world and demanded we watch him jump on a rake. If Trump was smart he'd have let it go.

Why the fuck is he saying “agree to disagree” on either dementia fueled delusion or North Korea level obscene propaganda? Why tf do American interviewers think the goal of an interview is asking every question you wrote down like filling in a bingo card?

I truly don't understand. You've already pissed off the narcissistic baby man and you have to know that he will never forgive you. So you might as well go for it and just say "no, that is not accurate. The picture was photoshopped. That tatoo is fake." Why cave? You just look weak and stupid.

Tramp is such a child he'd get him deported if he went any further I just struggle to believe that there are people who can still support this , frankly, fucking dumb cunt as president His pathetic childishness is only matched by his stupidity Yet he proclaims himself as a genius Ridiculous

Yeah it’s a clear opportunity to say “I will make you a deal, I will record a statement saying that you are right and I was wrong for not trusting in your inspirational leadership—if you bring him home and we look together and see M S 1 3 on his knuckles”

It was journalistic malpractice. That reporter should be fired. The president of the United States revealed himself as the delusional liar we all know he is, and all the reporter said was “Let’s move to the next question.”

Nope, not this time. This is clear evidence of a total mental failure! His deranged claims are demonstrably false,. 'MS13' is NOT tattooed on the mans knuckles. Donny is faked out by his own Spin Machine's lies.

I found this out by trying to post some of my solo drum work to bsky, unsuccessfully. I found that if I just posted the YouTube link, I could post 3 or 4 minutes of my self-indulgent, technically masterful bravura pyrotechnics. 😬

Butter knives only for grandpa from here on out. Tough spot for the reporter, because psychiatrists advise that it is not helpful to confront dementia patients and contradict their delusions.

It's exactly this. He's literally forgotten what it's like for anyone to disagree with him or point out his lies/ignorance so now gets genuinely shocked when anyone does, and gets angry like a child caught in an obvious lie.

Everyone knows that the Constitution says if you have the name of a gang tattooed on your body you don't get due process. I believe constitutional scholars call it the "Ink to Clink" clause.

The pivot to a neg is always comically obvious. A reporter corrects him and suddenly the reporter's a nobody, Trump did him a big favor by giving him an interview, he's being meeeeean, waaaaah After years of this I still don't get how people keep from laughing in his angry baby face

We need mandatory education on recognizing predatory grifts because 90% of the people running this country are falling for the equivalent of "nice nails, are they real?" and "if you think about it, it's your fault for catching me cheating" over and over and OVER

What a putz Trump is, he always believes he's the smartest guy in the room. And since when would a president rely on a tattoo to identify someone as a criminal? And what has that to do with due process, which is guaranteed to all persons under the Constitution?

Serious question, other than Hegseth drinking pic, what am I looking at? Is there a rundown of all of his tattoos and what they mean somewhere?

He actually believes that the guy has that on his fingers! I don’t know 🤷🏾‍♂️ how - I understand trying to say that’s what the tattoos stand for, but damn they talked about Biden. Biden can literally run circles around tЯ☭mps fried brain.

Arguing about non-existent tattoos is the same as arguing about when life begins. It’s a red herring, and these reporters always take the bait. The real issue of course is that the government is taking away our rights.

But yeah, Biden's age was the problem?!? As an aside, having a tattoo is not illegal…any tattoo. Just ask your DefSec who has white nationalist tattoos all over

OMG. The interviewer gave the 🍊💩 multiple chances to change subjects. Instead, the 🍊💩 humiliated himself over & over again. We are ruled by the world’s biggest fool. Shame on the GOP. Shame. The GOP can stop this shit show. Shame. Shame. Shame.

The illegitimate, corrupt, Constitutionally disqualified felon, Russian asset and political thief who obstructed, delayed, and escaped justice is the real criminal here. He and his fascist cronies are kidnapping and disappearing ppl into concentration camps with mass graves bsky.app/profile/thej...

CECOT isn’t a prison—it’s a torture chamber built on mass incarceration and fear. No trials. No sunlight. Just starvation, beatings, and silence. The EL Salvadoran govt says they’ll “never get out.” This is a human rights nightmare. Watch this video. Share it. And raise hell.

This man is astonishingly stupid. Whoever is passing him the photoshop pictures, can you make one of a graph that shows that when tariffs are removed the stock market and trump approval ratings shoot off the top of the chart? Apparently it’s that easy

I assumed the administration officials who created it or found it intended the photoshopped lettering to be a "decoding" of the tattoos (which was also obviously false), but that Trump himself believed the photoshop was real tattoos. They may have even tried to convince him they weren't.

Unfortunately, I have experience: this is EXACTLY what it looks like when a right-wing lying jerk starts to develop dementia He can still use old catchphrases ("be nice" "I'm giving you a break") which is why the dementia may not be immediately recognizable to people hearing him speak

What a weak and impotent "journalist"! He knew how uninformed The Rapist was about the photo and tried so hard to steer him away from it. Not once or twice. Five times he tried to lead his favourite rapist out of the gutter. This " journalist" is the perfect example of the US 2025. WEAK and IMPOTENT

I don't care if he was a gangster, it's always been about due process. If he was given Due Process we wouldn't need pictures of his hands, Donald. A judge would make the decision NOT YOU. Again, DUE PROCESS Donald, DUE PROCESS!

He does it because he gets away with it. Always. It is his superpower which deus-exes him out of any corner: Just never admit it or accept it to be valid, no matter how obvious. His followers are fine with it. They are just as aware of his lie as himself. They are just dishonest people. All of them.

Pretty clear he doesn’t know what photoshop is or how it works because he tells Terry Moran, “Don’t Photoshop it and look at his hand”. The most powerful man in the world is a feeb.

Trump is repeating what he was told. He’s demented - definitely. And he’s being told that the photo is REAL. The person telling him the fake pic is real is almost definitely Stephen Miller. This should be a huge red flag warning. What else could miller get trump to believe?

He reminds me of my dad who was suffering from dementia in the later years of his life. He perseverated—stayed on one topic, angrily beating it over and over, even when the details were muddled, until everyone would just say “yeah, Dad,” hoping he would move on, but he then just kept at it.

Context: somebody told Trump the knuckle tats were symbols that mean MS13 and to emphasize that, they put MS13 over the tats in a printed image. Trump never understood what he was looking at and believed the text overlay was the real tattoo. He may have been corrected since but will never retract.
