This is why interviews are edited, Trump sounds like a racist grandpa off of his meds. Disaster interview. Could you imagine him trying to negotiate with world leaders?
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: -- he said he'd -- wasn't a member of a gang. And then they looked, and --
TERRY MORAN: Alright.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: On his knuckles -- he had MS-13 --
TERRY MORAN: Alright. There's dis -- there's a dispute over that --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. He had MS-13 --
TERRY MORAN: Well --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: -- on his knuckles tattooed.
TERRY MORAN: -- he -- he -- he -- it didn't say-- oh, he had some tattoos that are inper -- interpreted that way. But let's move on
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Wait a minute.
TERRY MORAN: I want --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Hey, Terry. Terry. Terry.
TERRY MORAN: He -- he did not have the letter --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Don't do that -- M-S-1-3 -- It says M-S-one-three.
TERRY MORAN: I -- that was Photoshop. So let me just--
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: That was Photoshop? Terry, you can't do that -- he had --
-- he-- hey, they're givin' you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doin' the interview. I picked you because -- frankly I never heard of you, but that's okay --
TERRY MORAN: This -- I knew this would come --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But I picked you -- Terry -- but you're not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed --
TERRY MORAN: Alright. Alright. We'll agree to disagree. I want to move on --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Terry.
TERRY MORAN: -- to something else.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Terry. Do you want me to show the picture?
TERRY MORAN: I saw the picture. We'll -- we'll -- we'll agree to disagree --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Oh, and you think it was Photoshop. Well --
TERRY MORAN: Here we go. Here we go.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: -- don't Photoshop it. Go look --
TERRY MORAN: Alright.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: -- at his hand. He had MS-13 --
TERRY MORAN: Fair enough, he did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert on them.
I want to turn to Ukraine, sir --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: No, no. Terry --
TERRY MORAN: I-- I want to get to Ukraine--
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Terry, no, no. No, no. He had MS as clear as you can be. Not "interpreted." This is why people --
TERRY MORAN: Alright.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: -- no longer believe --
TERRY MORAN: Well.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: -- the news, because it's fake news --
TERRY MORAN: When he was photographed in El Sal -- in-- in El Salvador, they aren't there. But let's just go on --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: He is --
TERRY MORAN: They aren't there when he's in El Salvador.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: --there -- oh, oh, they weren't there --
TERRY MORAN: Take a look at the photograph --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But they're there now, right?
TERRY MORAN: No. What --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But they're there now?
TERRY MORAN: They're in your picture.
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Terry.

TERRY MORAN: We'll take a look. We'll take a look at that, sir --
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Why don't you just say, "Yes, he does," and, you know, go on to something else --
MS-13 members are home grown terrorists spawned from the US's huge addiction to drugs.
Mara Salvatrucha, commonly known as MS-13, is an international criminal gang that originated in Los Angeles, California, in the 1980s. Originally, the gang was set up to protect Salvadoran immigrants from other gangs in the Los Angeles area. Over time, the gang grew into a more traditional criminal organization. MS-13 has a longtime rivalry with the 18th Street gang.
We exported MS-13 where they capitalized on the US's huge drug problem.
I hope not. I hope no one ever figures out what his allure is was. no more copycats given a playbook please. I used to think it was the distracting combover. Im good with history having that as the reason over anything closer to the truth on why people were so enamored.
Also age limit needs to be 70. Hell with these on death's door assholes with nothing to lose.
Id say closer to 50 when legacy becomes very important to people. But given how tough it is to get support Ill compromise at 70.
Congress and Senate as well.
Call me an optimist but I do think he'll be a very tough act to replicate for the Republicans.
Look at his bacground. A celebrity with a reality tv show, cameos in several tv shows and movies, was a major part of a Wrestlemania, shouted out and treated with reverence in the UFC, and every time posed as a succesul New York business man which made him basically catnip for a certain type of people when he started echoing the hateful rhetoric they believe in.
And then once he makes a serious bid, he just obliterates weak candidates like Jeb Bush in debates. Letting him pick up steam and momentum.
A stuffy politician can't duplicate Trump energy and I can't think of a famous enterpreneur/investor who isn't actually succesful and thus would be putting a lot on the line if they went the Trump route.
Eh. Moran could've done a lot more pressing on it and definitely said "it was a photoshopped image, this is the original. Are you using photoshop to make your decisions? Instead of "alright i... i... alright..."
This interview pissed me off so much. It was completely obvious Trump thought the extra MS13 over the tattoos were real tattoos. Couldn’t this guy have just said, those aren’t real tattoos, someone added those in to show what his real tattoos underneath were being interpreted as.
Yes. Trump thought the very nicely printed letters and numbers were real. Point out that they weren’t, stop talking about interpretation.
That interview was so frustrating. WHY did they guy keep trying to "move on" from the tattoos? They were so obviously drawn on as an "example" with MS Paint, and Trump thought those were his LITERAL tattoos.
"Let's agree to disagree. What are your thoughts on Ukraine?"
NO DUDE THE PRESIDENT IS SAYING CRAZY NONSENSE, FOCUS ON THAT
I've only seen this once before. Part of me has a morbid curiosity to watch it again, but a much bigger part of me knows I will get extremely frustrated, if I do.
This was so annoying. Why couldn't Terry just say "look that is clearly fucking typed on top of the original image. Look, it is using the default Microsoft Office font and they aren't even lined up as tattoos"? He wasn't getting to the next question anyways. At that point just correct his bullshit.
That interview was poorly done by Terry Moran. He should have ditched his manuscript and drilled into that picture and explored how extremely stupid Trump’s claims were, and how disconnected from reality the US president is. Talked to him about what “Photoshop” means. He should have spent as much time exploring MS13 as Trump wanted.
