New York: President Donald Trump likes to tweet early in the morning — often while watching television. But on Tuesday, he may have hit the button a bit too quickly.

From Trump Tower in New York, where he is spending a few days, the Republican leader retweeted a message from a man who called him a “fascist.” It took him about 20 minutes to delete it.

The man was replying to a Fox News tweet about the possibility that Trump could issue a pardon to Joe Arpaio, the former Arizona sheriff who has courted controversy — and earned a conviction — over his tough stance on immigrants.

“He’s a fascist, so not unusual,” tweeted Mike Holden, referring to the 45th president.

Not long after, Trump retweeted the message to his more than 35 million followers.

“I’m announcing my retirement from Twitter. I’ll never top this RT,” Holden wrote later on.

He then added this ironic description to his Twitter profile: “Officially Endorsed by the President of the United States. I wish that were a good thing.”

Trump had another Twitter mishap early Tuesday, retweeting — and also deleting — a drawing showing a CNN journalist crushed by the “Trump Train.”

Holden’s message was sent in response to Trump’s retweeting of a Fox News article reporting that the president was considering pardoning disgraced Arizona sheriff Joe Arpaio, which led to some confusion about whether he was calling Trump or Arpaio a fascist, but Holden clarified shortly after that it was a message directed at the president.

Holden, who tweets often about Brexit and describes himself as “foreign”, said he would “never top” the retweet and made it the background image on his profile. He also changed his profile description to say: “Officially Endorsed by the President of the United States. I wish that were a good thing.”

The president on Tuesday morning had also retweeted, then un-retweeted, a cartoon image of a train labelled “Trump” hitting a person with the CNN logo on their face.

“Fake news can’t stop the Trump train” was written across the image.

Though two retweets were disappeared within an hour, two survived the morning cull.

One was a link to an article about Chicago gun violence sent by Jack Posobiec, a Trump supporter known for promoting conspiracy theories.

Posobiec, who supported Trump’s election campaign, is known for promoting discredited theories about the killing of the Democratic National Committee employee Seth Rich.

He also propagated the erroneous “pizzagate” allegations against the Hillary Clinton campaign that prompted a man to walk into a restaurant with an assault rifle and fire off three rounds, among other falsehoods.

Posobiec also led a group that tried to discredit anti-Trump protesters by planting a “rape Melania” sign at an opposition rally, according to BuzzFeed News.

The other retweet was a news story from the official Fox & Friends account that claimed the president was “seriously considering” a pardon for ex-sheriff Arpaio, who was found guilty of contempt of court last month for defying a judge’s 2011 order to stop traffic patrols targeting suspected undocumented immigrants in Arizona.
