'Just say yes': Trump begs reporter to accept that doctored photo is real

ABC News' Day 100 interview with President Donald Trump went off the rails after reporter Terry Moran refused to accept Trump's false assertion that an altered photo was real.

Trump and Moran were discussing the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia — the Maryland resident who the administration admitted was deported by mistake — when Trump brought up the photoshopped image of Abrego Garcia's knuckles that made it look as if Abrego Garcia was publicly affiliating with the MS-13 gang.

"He said he wasn't a member of a gang, and then you look on his knuckles, they said 'MS-13' — wait a minute — he had 'MS-13' on his knuckles."

"That was photoshopped," Moran said.

"That was photoshopped? Terry, I've given you the big break of a lifetime," Trump responded. "You're doing the interview. I picked you because frankly, I've never heard of you, but that's OK. Terry, you're not being very nice."

Moran pointed out that the photo Trump was referencing was proven to be fake, as Abrego Garcia was photographed alongside Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) at the senator's hotel, and the purported tattoos were not present. Trump pushed back and insisted the photo was real and offered to show it to Moran, though the ABC News journalist attempted to pivot the conversation to Ukraine. He ultimately relented when Trump pushed him to finally say that he would "look at" the photo again at a later time.

"It's such a disservice," Trump bristled. "Why don't you just say yes, he does, and go on to something else?"
