Huh? It doesn't look like they're trying to say the text itself is the tattoo, it looks like they're trying to say the tattoos mean MS-13. The blurry stuff below the tattoos seems to be explaining that it's Marijuana for M, smile for S, and some other explanation for why a cross and skull are a 1 and 3, but it's too blurry for me to see. It's bullshit, but it's not so blatantly obviously made up as superimposed text on a picture of a dude's hand being passed off as a tattoo.
That was the purpose, but Trump misinterpreted it and thought it was actually part of the tattoo and doubled down on it.
I'm 50% sure he did that on purpose so his followers can see how stupid everyone who disagrees with Trump is for not understanding it's about the symbols.

100%. It's really depressing to see libs playing along with fascists as usual.
The underlying problem is that all of these fascists attack minorities over phony bullshit like being in a "gang".
This is the quote:
OP has the picture Mango Mussolini is referencing.
That is not even the whole quote. The rest of it makes it even more clear as he insists it is "the letter m, the letter s, the number 1, the number 3".
