Donald Trump’s fondness for retweeting criticism of his opponents and praise from his followers appears to have landed the business mogul in hot water once again.

On Friday, Trump’s Twitter account re-tweeted a manipulated image of Jeb Bush standing outside Trump towers. The image was shared with the caption: “Poor Jeb. I could've sworn I saw him outside Trump Tower the other day!”

The tweet came from the account ‘Donald Trumpovitz’, which uses the Twitter Handle @whitegenocidetm.

The account has re-tweeted a number of racist and anti-Semitic tweets.

Trump is a vociferous tweeter, often using his account to attack his opponents and critics. In July, Trump apparently shared a tweet containing an image of Jeffrey MacDonald, a former US army officer and medical doctor who was found guilty of killing his pregnant wife and their two daughters in 1970.

In one of his most memorable Twitter gaffes, Trump was fooled into retweeting a picture of Fred and Rose West by a user (called@feckhead, which should probably have given the game away) pretending the pair were his late parents.

The Independent has contacted a representative for Trump for comment.
