President Donald Trump relayed the video of a clash between several of his supporters and his opponents on Sunday.
US President Donald Trump shared on Sunday before deleting the video of a clash between several of his supporters and his opponents, in which a man was seen screaming “white power”, a rallying cry from white supremacists. A Twitter user published this video, apparently filmed in a private retirement home in Florida, of virulent verbal confrontation between pro and anti-Trump.
We see there from the first seconds a man driving a golf cart adorned with signs “Trump 2020” and “America First” to be apostrophed by demonstrators who call him “racist”. “White power,” he replied twice, fist raised. “White power, there you go, white power. Did you hear that?” Replied one of the demonstrators.
“He did not hear the message in this video”
Donald Trump relayed the video with the message “Thank you to the super inhabitants of the Villages”, this community for people over 55 who welcomes 115,000 inhabitants in North Florida. A few hours later, as the controversy began to mount in the American media, Donald Trump deleted his retweet.
“President Trump is a big fan of the Villages. He didn’t hear the message in this video. What he saw was incredible enthusiasm from his supporters,” said a spokesman. from the White House, Judd Deere.
