It's just another example of Trump acting before thinking, or taking expert advice.

Worrying.

//Trump Supports Britain First !//

You made that^ up, Mikey, alarming exclamation mark and all.

[EDDIE51]

I also saw this and thought it meant he supported the UK rather than the EU.

Back of the queue for you, Eddie.

//Togo.....I haven't "retweeted" anything, as I don't have a Twitter account. //

Just as well I suppose. There is enough fake "news" on there as it is.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Just seen the news on BBC where one reporter says that the videos support Trump's "well-known anti-Muslim" stance.

Apparently these "inflammatory" videos contain images of Muslims committing acts of "extreme violence" and of desecrating Christian icons.

Gosh.

Beware. The fact is that Britain First followed Trump, not the other way round as Mikey has deliberately misconstrued.

[naomi24]

When Mikey's in a spin, I always beware.

Yes Naomi....my headline, not the BBC.

But if he really did tweet these from Britain First, it must mean that he supports their aims, or at the very least, has sympathy with BF.

As Hoppy and others have said, this looks like Trump acting before thinking....something we have got used to over the last year or two.

And as Hoppy also says, its very worrying. Trump isn't just some loud-mouth American business man any longer....he is the President, and out to be more careful with his actions.

;;...alarming exclamation mark and all//

Mikey's exclamation marks are always placed just a little away from the earlier part of the sentence - as if they're not sure whether they should be there or not.

Mikey, //But if he really did tweet these from Britain First, it must mean that he supports their aims, or at the very least, has sympathy with BF. //

Why 'must' it? It might just be that he finds the content of the videos pretty appalling.

[naomi24]

v_e, //as if they're not sure whether they should be there or not. //

Haaa! That's because they're not. :o)

[Togo]

//But if he really did tweet these from Britain First, it must mean that he supports their aims, or at the very least, has sympathy with BF//

But he really didn't Mikey. If you were able to sort the wheat from the chaff you may have understood that. Then again perhaps your mistake was one of the deliberate ones that you are prone to conjure up.

Da Prez may be drawing attention to the misdeeds of Muslims and by decrying them (the videos) the unwitting may be seen to be siding with religious violence and perpetrators thereof.

Crazy mixed up world.

Covfefe.

As I understand it, these BF comments were included in Trumps tweets. If that was so, he should have have investigated BF before tweeting. By passing on these tweets, he is inferring that he agrees with the sentiments of the original poster.

If, on the other hand, these tweets from him are fake, then I am quite happy to apologise for making the thread.

[naomi24]

Mikey, //By passing on these tweets, he is inferring that he agrees with the sentiments of the original poster. //

Have you read Douglas's thread at 13.37. If not, I suggest you do.

[naomi24]

^Douglas's post, not thread.

[anneasquith]

Well the trumpettes see no reason for concern move along ..

[mikey4444]

Naomi....it makes no difference if Trump posted directly from BF, or via a third party. He should have checked out BF first. By including Fransens comments on his twitter feed, he confers acceptance of BF.

[naomi24]

Mikey, Rubbish!

anneasquith, Does the content of the videos not concern you?

^Same question to you, Mikey.
