President Trump appeared to accidentally promote a user who called him a “fascist” Tuesday and left the insult visible on his page for several minutes before it was removed.

The user who called Trump a fascist was responding to a story that Trump was considering a pardon for former Sheriff Joe Arpaio. The user, Mike Holden, has frequently shared anti-Trump sentiment, and he joked Tuesday that the president “agrees with him.”

Donald agrees with me, he RTd it. — Mike Holden (@MikeHolden42) August 15, 2017

In another Tuesday-morning retweet, Trump shared a cartoon of a person with a CNN icon as a head attempting to hold back a train and captioned, “Fake news can’t stop the Trump Train.”

The image was widely criticized as insensitive in the aftermath of last weekend’s white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., where a car plowed into a group of counterprotesters, killing one. That CNN retweet was also deleted Tuesday morning. It also called to mind a video the president shared in July that showed him tackling and punching WWE president Vince McMahon, who had a CNN logo superimposed over his head.

During the campaign, Trump was known for freewheeling retweets, though it occasionally landed him in hot water as he elevated various users with fringe views. He once blamed a “young intern” for a retweet suggesting that genetically engineered corn was responsible for Ben Carson leading him in Iowa polls.
