At least one of the Britain First videos shared by US President Donald Trump this morning is fake news.

The US President, who has frequently complained about US news operations failing to report the news accurately, shared with his 44 million followers a string of videos pushed out by the deputy leader of a far-right anti-Muslim hate group.

And the video is not what the original poster claimed it was.

It was posted by Britain First's deputy leader Jayda Fransen last night, before being picked up by right wing commentator Ann Coulter - on whose Twitter feed the President presumably saw it.

The tweet reads: "VIDEO: Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!"

Is it real?

No.

The video appears to have originated from Dutch website Dumpert but has since been removed.

According to two otherDutch websites , the “Muslim migrant” in the video was later found by authorities and was neither a migrant, nor indeed a Muslim.

The President's retweets of the videos remain on his feed at the time of writing.

What about the other two videos?

The video accompanying the tweet which read “Muslim destroys a statue of Virgin Mary” appears to feature a Wahabi Muslim cleric called Omar Gharba.

There is some confusion over where Gharba’s allegiances currently lie, but there is broad agreement that at the time the video was made in 2014, he was a member of the Free Syrian Army - an anti-Assad group that has enjoyed the support of US intelligence agencies.

The third and most gruesome of the videos appears to portray a group of Islamists throwing a young man from a rooftop.

This is understood to have been filmed during the overthrow of Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.

Two years later, Mahmoud Ramadan, was convicted of murder in connection with the incident and executed.
