Read our privacy policy Donald Trump has endorsed a Twitter post that appears to blame leftist demonstrators for the violence that has shocked the nation in recent weeks, and has seen at least one death. Mr Trump retweeted a post made by Dinesh D’Souza, a conservative commentator and prominent critic of former President Barack Obama, that implied that the media has purposefully downplayed violence from left-wing demonstrators and blaming the right. “Finally, as if by accident, the Washington Post breaks down & admits the truth about where the violence is coming from,” Mr D’Souza wrote in that post. Mr D’Souza linked to a Washington Post article that cited the Associated Press, noting that “black-clad antifa” - short for anti-fascist - demonstrators had “stormed into what had been a largely peaceful Berkeley protest against hate and attacked at least five people.” Mr Trump has been criticised recently for his response following a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, when a counter protester was killed after a suspected white supremacist drove his car through a group of peaceful protesters.
