by Axios | 6.28.20

President Trump tweeted, \"Thank you to the great people of The Villages\" on Sunday morning in response to a video of protesters verbally clashing with Trump supporters — including one man who yelled \"white power\" while passing in a golf cart.

The latest: Trump appeared to have deleted the tweet around 11am ET Sunday, about three hours after posting it. White House spokesperson Judd Deere said in a statement: “President Trump is a big fan of The Villages. He did not hear the one statement made on the video. What he did see was tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters.”

Why it matters: Trump has already been accused of inflaming racial tensions in the U.S. at a time of nationwide backlash over the killing of George Floyd.

Details: The first clip in the montage shows protesters chanting \"racist\" at a white couple driving by in a golf cart bearing \"Trump 2020\" and \"America First\" signs. The man driving the cart gives a thumbs up and yells back, \"White power!\"

Other clips in the video show protesters yelling \"Nazi\" and other accusations at the Trump supporters driving by.
Trump quote-tweeted the video and wrote: \"Thank you to the great people of The Villages. The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!!\"

Editor's note: This story has been updated to reflect that Trump has deleted the retweet and the White House has provided comment.
