For the second time this week, President of the United States Donald Trump is in trouble for racism.
On Monday, it was calling Senator Elizabeth Warran “Pocahontas” during an event honouring the Navajo Native American people at the White House.
Now, he’s re-tweeted three videos from the leader of a far-right group in Britain, Jayda Fransen. The videos are blatantly anti-Muslim and depict violence.
LISTEN: A discussion about all the ridiculous things the President has said on Twitter this week. Post continues after.
Fransen, a 31-year-old from London, is the deputy leader of ‘Britian First’. According to The Sun, she is currently on bail facing four charges of religiously aggravated harassment and, as reported by CNN, she was convicted of the same crime in November last year after abusing a woman with four children who was wearing a hijab.
Of course, Fransen’s over the moon at Trump’s endorsement.
“Thanks for the retweets @realDonaldTrump,” she tweeted. “I’m facing prison for criticising Islam. Britain is now Sharia compliant. I need your help! God bless.”

And yet the US has had the highest economic growth in over a decade for 2 quarters running. Business confidence and the stock market are hitting record highs, unemployment is down. Maybe President Trump is doing something right? But of course the never-Trumpers could never admit that...
surely you must be tired of defending this tool?
US diplomats have 'cancelled' his trip, without any mention of his behaviour, or a public apology.
Surely they can see what an embarrassment he is, or do they act in ignorance and arrogance that the US president can act or do anything he wants, like an spoilt, over indulged child.
