Donald Trump grew visibly frustrated during a heated interview exchange with ABC News' Terry Moran, whom the president accused of not being “very nice” after being pressed on whether a White House photo of a migrant with MS-13 tattoos was digitally altered.
The testy back-and-forth came after Moran challenged Trump’s claim that a photo clearly showed Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland father deported to El Salvador, with gang tattoos on his knuckles. The image has come under scrutiny as being “contested,” Moran told Trump.
“You think it was photoshopped? Trump asked Moran. “Go look at his hand. He had MS-13.”
Moran pushed back, noting that the tattoos weren’t visible in previous images as he tried to move the exclusive Oval Office interview that aired as Trump marked his 100th day in office, along to the topic of Ukraine.

“You know, you’re doing the interview,” Trump said Tuesday as he fired back. “I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you – but that’s okay. But you’re not being very nice.”
Trump refused to move on from the moment.
“This is why people no longer believe the news – because it’s fake news,” the president said. “It’s such a disservice,” he added. “Why don’t you just say, ‘yes,’ he does, and go on to something.”
