Donald Trump just retweeted the deputy leader of Britain First

In the long list of things that we actually cannot believe have happened, this may well have shot straight to the top of the list: Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, has just retweeted three anti-Islamic videos posted by Jayda Fransen, deputy leader of the far-right, ultranationalist political party Britain First.

Britain First was founded by former members of the British National Party (BNP) so you can be in no doubt as to the sort of organisation it is.
