DO NOT UPSET THE KING:
Twelve days ago, Donald Trump posed in the Oval Office with a printed picture of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s knuckle tattoos—a marijuana leaf, a smile, a cross, and a skull, over which had been superimposed the letters and numbers “M S 1 3.” “He’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles,” Trump tweeted then, prompting many to wonder: He knows that’s just someone’s guess as to what the actual tattoos mean, right?

Turns out, uh, no. Trump plainly thought that the photoshopped “M S 1 3” was part of the real tattoo—a position he defended explicitly, at excruciating length, in an interview with ABC’s Terry Moran last night. Seriously, you cannot possibly believe how long he spends dying on this hill without watching it happen yourself.

All this raises an uncomfortable question: DidTrump’s aides tell him that they’d written ‘M S 1 3’ on the picture to make the association more obvious, and did he bluster ahead anyway? Or are they—as is so often the case around would-be autocrats—more anxious not to be the person to correct his errors or tell him things he might not want to hear?
