Trump Retweets, Then Deletes Tweet Calling Him a Fascist

President Donald Trump on Tuesday inexplicably retweeted a post calling the president a fascist.

The president later deleted the retweet from Mike Holden, who started the day with 831 followers, according to the Independent, that has now ballooned to more than 1,400 … and counting.

I'm announcing my retirement from Twitter. I'll never top this RT. pic.twitter.com/HuGHkiPoyR

I'm going to put "Endorsed by the President of the United States" on my bio, as soon as they have a decent one!

Holden's tweet that started it all was a tweet about a Fox News report that former sheriff Joe Arpaio would accept a pardon from Trump.

He's a fascist, so not unusual.

The president also deleted a retweet that depicted a Trump train running over a person with a CNN head.

That retweet came just three days after a woman was killed in Charlottesville, Virginia protesting a gathering of white nationalists.
