President Trump on Tuesday retweeted a post that appeared to refer to him or a former Arizona sheriff as a “fascist” — and then deleted the tweet.

Trump began the exchange by sharing a post from “Fox & Friends” that linked to a piece about the possibility that he would pardon former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Politico reported.

Arpaio, a vocal supporter of Trump during the 2016 election, was known for his aggressive enforcement of immigration laws. He was recently convicted of criminal contempt in Arizona after being ordered to stop racially profiling Latinos.

A Twitter user named Mike Holden replied to the “Fox & Friends” post by writing, “He’s a fascist, so not unusual,” which Trump then retweeted.

It was unclear whether Holden’s “fascist” label was directed at Arpaio or the president.

Trump, who deleted his retweet without explanation, has called Arpaio a “great American patriot.”

“I am seriously considering a pardon for Sheriff Arpaio,” a vacationing Trump told Fox News at his Bedminster, NJ, golf club. “He has done a lot in the fight against illegal immigration.”

Holden followed up his first tweet with one that said: “I’m announcing my retirement from Twitter. I’ll never top this RT.”

Trump also retweeted a post from another user featuring a cartoon depicting a train emblazoned with a “Trump” sign running over a person with a CNN logo for its head, Politico reported.

That post also was quickly removed from Trump’s feed.

Last month, Trump tweeted a doctored video showing him slamming a man whose face was obscured by CNN’s logo.
