What Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckle tattoos really mean

Last edited Sun Apr 20, 2025, 12:17 AM - Edit history (1)

Trump is so desperate that he is resorting to posting fake images with his cult followers trying to suggest that the tattoos on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles symbolize the words MS-13. It's ridiculous as MS-13 gang members don't use metaphorical symbols but the actual letters to show their affiliation. The metaphorical symbols on Garcia's knuckles also have a much simpler interpretation:

W = Weed

W = Wasted (smiley face)

J = Jesus (cross)

D = Death (skull)

Which is W.W.J.D = What Would Jesus Do

He didn't have the fake MS13 tattoo when Senator Hollens met him Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2025 #2
That's because Trump shared a fake photo and his cult is trying to defend him by sayin that the tattoos stand for MS-13 Galraedia Apr 2025 #5
Well Trump certainly doesn't know that. surfered Apr 2025 #3

flogging some completely innocent capitalists and disrupting their business operations ain’t completely off the table.

M= Marijuana, S= Smile, Cross = 1, and Skull = 3. How they got the last two is beyond me as a cross and a skull are not something anyone would use to symbolize a 1 and 3. A cross is a symbol of Christianity and the crucifixion of Jesus and a skull is a symbol of death.

They may well be, but I trust nothing that comes out of Trump's Admin.

MAGA morons are trying to claim that the tattoos on his fingers: marijuana, a wasted smiley face, a cross, and a skull are somehow symbols that spell out MS-13.

What I haven’t seen are pictures that show his hands and his face, to demonstrate that those are actually his.
