In a fiery Oval Office interview marking the 100-day milestone of his second term, President Donald Trump dismantled ABC News anchor Terry Moran, exposing the liberal media’s relentless bias and dishonesty. The confrontation erupted over the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an illegal immigrant and alleged MS-13 gang member deported by the Trump administration despite a protective order. Moran, seizing the opportunity to attack Trump’s immigration policies, accused the administration of defying the Supreme Court’s order to facilitate Garcia’s return. But Trump, unwavering in his commitment to law and order, swiftly dismantled Moran’s narrative, revealing the shocking truth about Garcia’s violent criminal history.
“This is a MS-13 gang member, a tough cookie, been in lots of skirmishes, beat the hell out of his wife, and the wife was petrified to even talk about him,” Trump fired back, exposing Moran’s attempt to paint Garcia as an innocent victim. “This is not an innocent, wonderful gentleman from Maryland.”
Trump: "This is an MS13 gang member. This is not an innocent wonderful gentleman from Maryland."
ABC: "It's about the Rule of Law. You could call El Salvador and say send him back."
Trump: "If he were the gentleman you say he is, I would do that. But he's not." pic.twitter.com/x9FFlWHzsS

Moran, visibly flustered, tried to pivot the conversation to the “rule of law,” but Trump wasn’t having it. “He came into our country illegally,” the president shot back, highlighting the absurdity of prioritizing a violent criminal over American citizens. When Moran smugly suggested Trump could simply call El Salvador’s president to return Garcia, Trump delivered a crushing rebuttal: “And if he were the gentleman that you say he is, I would do that. But he’s not.”
The interview reached its peak when Moran attempted to downplay Garcia’s MS-13 tattoos, even suggesting they were “Photoshopped.” Trump, incredulous at the blatant media deception, called out Moran’s dishonesty: “Don’t do that—M-S-1-3—It says M-S-one-three.” The president then delivered one of the most memorable lines of the exchange: “They’re giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you’re doing the interview. I picked you because frankly I never heard of you—but that’s okay.”
President Trump: "He had MS13 tattooed on his knuckles."
ABC: "He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way."
Trump: "It says MS13."
ABC: "That was photoshopped."
Trump: "Do you want me to show you the picture?"
ABC: "I'm not an expert."

Moran, desperate to regain control, tried shifting topics to Ukraine, but Trump wasn’t finished exposing the media’s agenda. “This is why people no longer believe the media,” Trump declared. “Because it’s fake news.”
ABC: “You think Vladimir Putin wants peace?”
Trump: “I think he does, yes.”
ABC: “Do you trust him?”
Trump: “I don't trust you.” pic.twitter.com/sLYtZkizSd

When Moran asked if Trump trusted Vladimir Putin, the president turned the tables with a brutal takedown: “I don’t trust you. I don’t trust a lot of people. I don’t trust you. Look at you. You come in all shootin’ for bear. You’re so happy to do the interview. And then you start hitting me with fake questions.”
NEW: President Trump goes off on ABC News’ Terry Moran after he asks him about his confidence level in Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Trump: He’s a very good defense secretary.
Moran: Do you have a 100% confidence in him?

The interview showcased Trump’s unmatched ability to dismantle the liberal media’s lies while standing firm on his America First policies. Instead of holding criminals accountable, outlets like ABC News bend over backward to defend illegal immigrants with violent histories—all to smear a president who actually enforces the law.
