| Trump account retweets incendiary videos | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| Donald Trump's Twitter account has retweeted three inflammatory videos from a British far-right group. | |
| The first tweet from Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of Britain First, claims to show a Muslim migrant attacking a man on crutches. | |
| This was followed by two more videos of people Ms Fransen claims to be Muslim. | |
| Britain First was founded in 2011 by former members of the far-right British National Party (BNP). | |
| The group has grabbed attention on social media with controversial posts about what they deem "the Islamification of the UK". | |
| It has put up members to run in general elections on anti-immigration and anti-abortion policies, but has yet to secure any seats. | |
| Ms Fransen has more than 52,000 followers on Twitter. | |
| She responded enthusiastically to Mr Trump sharing her tweets. She posted on her account: "Donald Trump himself has retweeted these videos and has around 44 million followers!" | |
| "God bless you Trump! God bless America!," she added. | |
| The original video was shared by US conservative commentator Ann Coulter who Mr Trump follows. |
