The president retweeted this video with the following comment:
“Thank you to the great people of The Villages. The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall. Corrupt Joe is shot. See you soon!!!”
Trump deleted his retweet at around 11:00 a.m. EST after it spent several hours on his Twitter account; multiple websites that serve to archive the president's tweets corroborate this, see here and here.
So far, the video has more than 4.8 million views; no relevant comments from the executive branch have been made in response at the time of this report.
UPDATE, 6:18 p.m. - White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement that the president "did not hear the one statement made on the video. What he did see was tremendous enthusiasm from his many supporters."
