Hacktivist group Anonymous has taken the mickey out of the President of the United States and his reluctance to comply with a Supreme Court order.
In an interview to mark his 100th day in office, Donald Trump clashed with ABC news anchor Terry Moran in one of the most awkward exchanges you are ever likely to see.
Moran, 65, asked Trump, 78, if he would be willing to uphold an order to 'facilitate the return' of an El Salvador inmate who was wrongly deported from the US in March.

The Supreme Court ruled that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, 29, was mistakenly deported from his home in Maryland with false links to the Salvadorian gang MS-13.
The Trump administration, however, believe to be in possession of an image showing 'MS-13' tattooed on Garcia's knuckle.
And the President firmly thinks the image is valid, whereas people on social media have argued that the tattoo had been 'digitally altered'.

Many have pointed out how images shared by his wife show no signs of a tattoo.
CNN reports that the Trump administration has proposed to send up to 500 migrants with alleged gang ties to El Salvador.
In recent months, the president has sent more than 200 migrates to El Salvador, using a law that dates back to 1798.
So, during the interview on Tuesday (29 April), Moran suggested to the US leader that the image was Photoshopped, but Trump wasn't having any of it.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute. He had MS-13 on his knuckles,” Trump said. “It says MS-13.”

“That was Photoshopped,” Moran replied, before Trump added: “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 OK.”
Now, over on X, online hacking group Anonymous has poked fun at Trump just a day after the interview was broadcast, by sharing an AI-generated image of him playing golf with a MS-13 tattoo on his back.
"Apparently, this is a real picture of Trump golfing," they joked in the caption.
"Haters will say this is AI," one person quipped, as another added: "Would we call this a Trump Stump?"

This comes after Trump posted a picture of the alleged knuckle of the inmate on 18 April on social media, and told his followers that the prisoner isn't an 'innocent person'.
"This is the hand of the man that the Democrats feel should be brought back to the United States, because he is such 'a fine and innocent person'," he wrote alongside the picture.
"They said he is not a member of MS-13, even though he’s got MS-13 tattooed onto his knuckles, and two Highly Respected Courts found."
The tattoo is a symbol of allegiance and identity for members of the MS-13 gang, which was formed by immigrants in LA back in the 80s.

The BBC reports that there are at least 60,000 members in Central American countries after an anti-gang crackdown in the 90s saw early members being sent away.
In the US, there is estimated to be between 8,000 and 10,000 members, currently.
Common designs of the tattoo, which can be anywhere on the body, include 'MS', '13', or 'XIII'.
The tattoos can also display gang ranking, origin, or personal milestones, with MS-13, as a name, referencing the gang's ties to the Mexican Mafia.
Other designs like devil horns, skulls, and the Salvadoran area code '503' are also common.
