Trump Melts Down at Being Fact-Checked Right to His Face

Key Dispute: Trump's MS-13 Claim

The article centers on a contentious interview between President Trump and ABC News' Terry Moran. Trump insisted that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, mistakenly deported to El Salvador, had 'MS-13' tattooed on his knuckles. Moran challenged this claim, citing evidence that the 'MS-13' markings were digitally added to a photo.

Conflicting Evidence

Experts and community activists stated that Abrego Garcia's tattoos were not associated with MS-13. The photo Trump shared had the numbers and letters 'M-S-1-3' digitally added, leading to the dispute.

Trump's Reaction

Trump refused to accept the fact-check, repeatedly insisting on the accuracy of his claim and criticizing Moran's interviewing style. He even offered to show Moran the picture, ignoring Moran's attempts to change the topic to Ukraine.

Additional Details

• Abrego Garcia, a sheet metal apprentice married to a U.S. citizen, was deported despite having no criminal record and a 'withholding of removal order'.
• Trump's administration justified the deportation by claiming Abrego Garcia was a 'terrorist' and an MS-13 member, offering tenuous evidence.
• Moran's repeated attempts to steer the conversation to Ukraine were unsuccessful.
