President Donald Trump deleted a post he shared earlier on Sunday of a verbal confrontation between anti-Trump protesters and his supporters, including a man who yelled “white power” at the demonstrators.

“Thank you to the great people of The Villages,” the president tweeted Sunday in response to the video, referring to the Florida retirement community where the original post said the clash had taken place.
