No, Trump was clear on what he was talking about. He literally said, the letters MS13 are on Garcia's knuckles, and he wouldn't let it go. The reporter even clarified that it was photoshopped. That's when Trump stopped him, in disbelief, to argue further that it says MS13 on his hand. This is no gaffe. A gaffe is when you momentarily say the wrong thing, typically during a prepared speech or some sort of Q&A, etc. This is simply Trump being an imbecile, like usual. What you're doing right now is attempting to sane wash him, which I've come to realize has now become the job of all his cult followers and right wing media, 24/7.
