Donald Trump's interview showed us he's willing to argue that the letters and numbers MS 13 are not Photoshopped in this picture ๐

Can someone explain how these symbols are supposed to represent "MS-13"? I'm trying, but I can't get further than "M is for Marijuana"... S is for Smile? 1 is for Cross?? 3 is for Skull??? What in the numerology is going on...
No one can explain it because it's nonsense. Back before trump was a thing, I saw a documentary on MS-13 - their tattoos were not subtle or coded. Many members had it literally written across their face or chest.
Edit- to be clear - stylized writing, not #000 Arial 16
What even is MS-16?
Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) is a criminal ("terrorist", now) organization out of California. It was initially made up of Salvadoran teenagers that escaped the country during civil war back in the 80s, as they banded together forming street gangs to fight and protect themselves from the larger LA gangs that would extort migrants. Over time the gang evolved into a full criminal organization while expanding to activities like international trafficking, kidnapping and murder.
If you want to know more, reading history of Ernesto Deras is a good place to start.
3 units worse than ms 13.
Three. ENTIRE. Units.
Sorry, typo. But what's ms 13?
No one can explain it because it's fucking nonsense. MS13 tattoos aren't exactly known for their subtlety.
The two eye sockets and nose represent 3 holes. Supposedly this is a gang symbol, but I haven't seen any sources stating that before this image came out.*
*all of which remains irrelevant outside of a courtroom.
1 because our boi JC is #1 and the skull is a 3. Trust me bro.
