AAP FactCheck - Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is falsely claiming that Labor was handed a balanced budget when the Albanese government came to power in May 2022.

The Treasury recorded a deficit of more than $130 billion for the 2020/21 financial year in its pre-election economic and fiscal outlook (PEFO), published just weeks before the May 2022 vote.

It’s *possible* as some are saying that whoever altered the photo did so to explain the tattoos.

1. If that is the case, I doubt #Trump realized it.

2. MS-13 is notorious for boldly displaying the gang’s name in their tats. They don’t use code.

3. The neo-Nazi that came up w/this tattoo theory claims the cross & the skull are covering what used to be a 1 & a 3. That skull for sure was not a 3.

#Trump posted a photo of himself holding up a picture claiming to show #KilmarAbregoGarcia’s tattoos that prove he’s MS-13.

The picture he’s holding has obviously been digitally altered to add the characters MS-13.

The source of this BS is a neo-Nazi X user who claims the tattoos are code for “MS-13.”

This is why you try people in court of #law & not on social media.

#PierrePoilievre and his views about #nazis and #nazism.

No, Pierre. You are wrong. National socialists were as socialist as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea is democratic.
