President Trump took ABC’s Terry Moran to task during a contentious interview marking Trump’s 100th day back in office, bluntly stating why he agreed to speak with him—and delivering a dose of personal humiliation in the process.
“Hey, they’re giving you the big break of a lifetime, you know you’re doing the interview,” Trump said. “I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you.”

As the interview grew more confrontational, Trump expressed his displeasure with Moran’s tone. “I picked you, but you’re not being very nice,” he complained.
The fiery exchange came as Moran questioned the president over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, raising doubts about whether the man’s tattoos were legitimate proof of gang affiliation.
Abrego Garcia drew national attention after being removed from Maryland and sent back to El Salvador, where he has been in custody since March 15.
Trump pointed to Abrego Garcia’s hand tattoos, claiming they were an unmistakable sign of his ties to the notorious MS-13 gang.
“Wait a minute, he had ‘MS-13’ on his knuckles,” Trump said, referring to the markings seen on the man’s left hand.
Moran responded cautiously, saying, “Oh, he had some tattoos that were interpreted that way,” before attempting to pivot to another question.
Photos of the tattoos showed several images—among them a marijuana leaf, a smiley face, a cross, and a skull—etched across the back of Abrego Garcia’s hand.
Observers have claimed the combination of images visually represented the sequence “M S 1 3.”
Moran tried steering the discussion away from the subject, but Trump pushed back firmly.
“Wait a minute, Terry, Terry, don’t do that. It says MS-13,” Trump said, referencing an image shared by the White House that purportedly broke down the tattoo’s symbolism.
Moran countered that the image had been digitally altered. Trump dismissed the claim immediately.
“That was photoshopped? Terry, you can’t do that,” Trump said, slamming Moran once again by pointing out his lack of prominence.
Elsewhere in the sit-down, Moran pushed Trump on the broader policy of deporting alleged gang members without full court proceedings.
“The law is the law,” Moran insisted, pressing Trump on due process.
Trump held his ground, saying, “They get whatever my lawyers say,” when asked about the legal standards being applied.
Moran returned to the subject of Abrego Garcia, whom Trump described in blunt terms.
“This is an MS-13 gang member, a tough cookie, been in lots of skirmishes, beat the hell out of his wife,” Trump said.
Court records show that Abrego Garcia’s wife sought a protective order in 2021 following claims of domestic violence.
“OK? This is not an innocent, wonderful gentleman from Maryland,” Trump continued.
Moran responded by clarifying his stance. “I’m not saying [Abrego Garcia] is a good guy,” he said. “It’s about the rule of law.”
The interview took another heated turn when Moran questioned Trump’s stance on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I don’t trust you,” Trump shot back. “I don’t trust a lot of people.”
