Did Trump just Photoshop some black letters onto a hand to make it seem like Kilmar is a gang member?

I am asking because Kilmar’s real tattoos follow the shape of his fingers, while the MS13 letters all face straight forward, as if they are placed on the photo by someone with really poor Photoshop skills. And also the MS13 letters are true black, while tattoos usually have a bluish tint — notice the color difference between the MS13 letters and his other tattoos.

Update: see my reply below…

@randahl Actually it seems to be the "translation" of the tattoos.
Below each tattoo you have the alt-text, and above you have the translation (Marijuana = M, Smiley = S, Cross = 1, Skull = 3???).
It's still complete bullshit, just, for once Trump is slightly more subtle than what we're used to.

@MorganedeSiv @randahl not agreeing with their logic, but the Spanish word for skull starts with the letter C, "calavera"

@nobhillsal @MorganedeSiv If I'm reading it right, the supposed "translation" suggests that the cross and skull are masking the physical shape of the respective numbers.

It's dumb, but it's still not what @randahl presented it as, and I'm getting frustrated with his mis-framing of things.

@solitha @MorganedeSiv @randahl I read it that way too but don't see how there was a 3 in the skull which is how I got to the letter "c," I also don't see a gang tattoo of a "1" being a straight line instead of stylized which lead me to a religious idea of one true God, which doesn't work for a cross because to a Catholic the cross is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

@nobhillsal Looking for the sense in a conspiracy theory is not great for long-term mental health 😀
