A video retweeted by US president Donald Trump which is said to show a Muslim beating up a Dutch boy on crutches is fake news, according to the Telegraaf and shockblog GeenStijl.

Trump retweeted three postings by British far right activist Jayda Fransen, including one said to show a ‘Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches’. All were said to show ‘sensitive material’ and were flagged up by Twitter.

The Dutch video was originally posted on shockblog Dumpert in May but was removed on the request of the police. According to GeenStijl, the incident took place in Monnickendam and the 16-year-old perpetrator, who was arrested, is neither a migrant or a Muslim but an ‘ordinary Dutchman’.

2. How much time does Trump spend working?

He's always tweeting, reading tweets, re-tweeting tweets, golfing, eating KFC and McDonald's, etc.

8. Those things are his work

He is trying to President like he thinks a CEO should president: sign off on work other people do.

Which is not how a good CEO does things, and it’s not how a national leader should either.

9. Watch Fox News form 6-9, rage tweet then take a nap. Wake up have lunch.

Watch Fox News. Call Hannity.

3. Not the least bit suprised that he would retweet fake news. Is anyone here suprised?

4. It would be fairly decent if US American "news" media took the time to acknowledge this new info.

If they don't reveal it today, something even more destructive is going on than we realized.

This story should be widely exposed and discussed.

Thank you.

7. There's the big problem. US media ignores Trump's duplicity.

If Hillary had done this...

At the end of the day, Trump does this with impunity because the GOP owns the media and largely lays off of his daily corrupt and divisive behavior.

5. Dumpert has mocked Trump for believing the lies

apparently it was taken down months ago by police request but RW hate groups decided to share it and add the complete lie of a Muslim migrant.

American RWers are not going to care that it's fake. They're going to reinforce their hate and maybe do something stupid to an innocent person.

6. Whenever Trump criticizes anyone about anything it means he is guilty of it himself. It's a rule.

He complains about the spread of fake news and of course is regularly spreading it himself while the entities he complains about are doing their best to verify any news they publish.
