Donald Trump On David Duke Endorsement: ‘I Disavow, OK?

[Bad Dog]

15. He's tweeting Mussolini.

From the BBC.

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".

The Gawker website said it had created "a Twitter bot that would post quotes from the writings and speeches of... Mussolini" at Mr Trump until he eventually retweeted one.

Correspondents say this is the latest example of behaviour which would have damaged any other candidate but which seems not to dent Mr Trump's status as frontrunner for the Republican party nomination for the US presidential election later this year.

Last month Mr Trump manually retweeted an account entitled WhiteGenocideTM, which contains racist and anti-Semitic material. Several other accounts that he has retweeted have reportedly been found to have white supremacist links.
