Trump kicks in fake news and retweet Dutch 'anti-Muslim video'

The American president Donald Trump retweeted a video this morning, showing how someone smites and abuses a boy on crutches. The original message is from the British politician Jayda Fransen and her caption was: "Muslim migrant strikes Dutch boy on crutches."

The video appears to have originated in May and is from the Dutch site Dumpert. He is no longer there. According to weblog GeenStijl and De Telegraaf , the perpetrator was found and it turned out to be no Muslim or migrant at all.

Incidentally, Trump reticulated two other anti-Islam videos of Jayda Fransen this morning, who is vice-chairman of the extreme right-wing British group Britain First. Fransen was arrested in Northern Ireland earlier this month after insulting Muslims in a speech in Belfast.
