“While most Americans probably haven’t heard of Britain First and are unfamiliar with European radical nationalist movements, there are white supremacist groups in the US that follow the actions of these overseas operations quite closely. The president on Wednesday signalled that he watches them too.” President Trump’s insane Twitter habit entered new territory on Wednesday when he retweeted a far-right fringe group’s anti-Muslim videos (well, they were fringe until today). “Brendan Cox, whose wife, British MP Jo Cox, was murdered by a right-wing extremist who shouted Britain First before committing the act,” summed up the moment: “Trump has legitimised the far right in his own country, now he’s trying to do it in ours. Spreading hatred has consequences and the President should be ashamed of himself.” (Editor’s note: He won’t be.) Trump’s latest social media affront was so offensive that UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s office was compelled to issue a statement indicating it was “wrong for the president to have done this.” (The leader of America’s staunchest ally had to rebuke our president because of his tweeting. The pit has no bottom.)

+ Yes, Trump’s behavior has always been bad. But it’s getting worse. The Atlantic provides a partial rundown of just the last 24 hours: “He retweeted inflammatory and misleading anti-Islam videos from a bigoted far-right British politician. He joked about presenting a ‘Fake News Trophy’ to media networks. He called attention to Matt Lauer, the NBC host fired on Wednesday for sexual misconduct, despite Trump’s own past admissions of sexual assault. He baselessly implied that NBC host Joe Scarborough, a one-time informal adviser, might have been involved in the death of an intern years ago in Florida. And several outlets reported that the president privately continues to claim preposterous things, including that it wasn’t him on the Access Hollywood tape and that Barack Obama really wasn’t born in the United States.” In other words, It’s Not an Act.

+ Joe Scarborough: “Looks like I picked a good day to stop responding to Trump’s bizarre tweets. He is not well.” (Looks like the rest of us picked the wrong day to stop sniffing glue.)
