PHOENIX — President Donald Trump retweeted then deleted a message that called him a fascist and retweeted then deleted a cartoon of a train running over a reporter.
Trump deleted his retweet early Tuesday, which focused on a Fox News story about his possible pardon of former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, after about five minutes. But by then his 35 million followers has gotten it.
A Twitter account with the handle @MikeHolden42 tweeted that Trump was a fascist and tagged Trump and the news show “Fox and Friends.”

Trump retweeted the message to his followers. That unleashed a wave of responses to Holden, who lives in England, and media requests for interviews.
The president had already retweeted a Fox News story about Trump’s thoughts on Arpaio.
During that talk, Trump said he was “seriously considering” granting the 85-year-old a pardon.
Arpaio was convicted of criminal contempt of court two weeks ago over defying federal orders to stop his immigration patrols.
The longtime Trump supporter recently told Fox he would accept a pardon “because I am 100 percent not guilty.”
Trump also retweeted, then deleted, an image of a train running over a CNN reporter. The tweet was captured in a screenshot.
The Republican has a running feud with the cable news channel, one of many media outlets he has referred to as “fake news.”
The tweet, which was posted around 4 a.m., came just a few days after an antidiscrimination protester was run over and killed at a white supremacist rally in Virginia.

Hahahaha, our President making liberal and leftists heads explode since June 2015. In other news, NK will not be nuking us. They said they'll wait for a Democrat President.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone, let alone a sitting President picked apart for every little thing as what's happening to Trump.
And I don't think I've ever seen a group of people so unhinged as the liberals are today. They talk about tolerance, hate speech, etc when it is they who are the most intolerant, hate-filled and violent. But they feel justified in their violence because they have twisted it in their minds to be so.
They will not stop until he is out of office. Hopefully he can survive, if not and he is ousted plan on a civil war. The left has not only been exposed but is being threatened by Trump and his supporters.
I think we both know that Liberals do not use the intellectual or wise mind, only the emotional mind, which is not capable of applying fact, reason or logic.
That's why we talk until we're blue in the face only for them to use one of many liberal tactics from their playbook. Actually had Dave-0 looking for an hour on the internet for it, which there is no written playbook, Dave is a fool and lets not forget his mentor the Virus.
