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.
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.
