Because "they're ripping us off", apparently.

People find it hard to conceive of another human being so mentally degraded that they just don't understand what's going on. But that's what's happening here. Watch the interview segment where the photograph of a guy's knuckle tattoos with inserted text labels in helvetica font is discussed for an example of how stupid this person is.



That interview managed to be jaw-dropping even after all this time with Trump in the public eye. The interviewer kept trying to move on, and Trump kept coming back to it to insist that the obviously-photoshopped letters and numbers in that photo were actual tattoos. Not that the real tattoos might somehow decode to that, but that the literal letters and numbers "MS13" were on the guy's knuckles, from a photoshop where those weren't even trying to look like tattoos, but were obviously just added by some online rando "decoding" the real ones. He truly seemed to believe it, and it's... just, WT actual F? The image clearly isn't even trying to fool anyone! It's not even credibly a fake! Someone just obviously superimposed those on it, without trying to conceal what they had done!


It's easy to forget that Trump is a gullible senior citizen like any you might find in any retirement community in Florida until you see an interview like that.
