Trump retweets quote attributed to fascist leader Mussolini
28 February 2016 US & Canada
Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump has retweeted a quote widely attributed to Italian Fascist leader Benito Mussolini.
The tweet, created by a parody account and including Mr Trump's handle, read: "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep."
The account is named @ilduce2016 after Mussolini's Italian title, the Leader.
Asked about the tweet in a TV interview, Mr Trump said he wanted "to be associated with interesting quotes".
"Mussolini was Mussolini... What difference does it make?" Mr Trump said when asked about the retweet on NBC's Meet The Press programme. "It got your attention, didn't it?"
