Trump thanks 'great people' shown in Twitter video in which a man chants 'white power'

(CNN)President Donald Trump on Sunday widely shared a video he said is from the Villages, a community in Florida, in which a man driving a golf cart with Trump campaign posters is seen chanting "white power."

The President retweeted the video that showed the community's Trump supporters and anti-Trump protesters arguing with one another. The President thanked the "great people" shown in the video.

"Thank you to the great people of The Villages. The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!" he wrote in the tweet.

CNN has reached out to the White House for comment.

Wow. He should either be more careful with his wording or admit he is signaling to his Q-ANUT conspiracy church. They look for messages and signs in his blather.

"Corrupt Joe is shot."
