Today I was appalled again to check Donald Trump’s Twitter timeline and find a retweet of a video showing one of his supporters in Florida’s “The Villages” driving a golf cart festooned with Trump campaign stickers and flags, shouting “WHITE POWER” at anti-Trump demonstrators.
It’s no longer shocking that the president* of the US does things like this, but it will never stop being absolutely disgusting.
Trump left his tweet up for several hours, then deleted it when the outcry got too loud to ignore. One of his cronies then released this ludicrous excuse; he “didn’t hear it.”

P.S. …
Sorry, folks, but I don’t believe this was an attempt to “distract” from the Russia bounty story.And nobody is forgetting about that story. We really can pay attention to more than one thing at a time.
