In a single morning, Donald Trump promoted a photo that originated from a neo-Nazi Twitter account and posted a campaign video that mistook Soviets for U.S. military veterans.Trump's campaign on Friday shared a Facebook video vowing to reform the Veterans Administration that included stock footage of Russian -- not American -- former servicemen with medals that bore the communist sickle and hammer symbol. ..."In the Veterans Administration, the incompetence is beyond. We will stop that," Trump says in the video before showing images of Soviet veterans that was taken in Russia in May last year, according to the stock video site that hosts the footage. "We are going to take care of our veterans." ...It's not the first time the Republican presidential front-runner has mistaken foreign soldiers with American servicemen.In July, Trump's campaign produced a promotional image showing soldiers wearing German World War II uniforms instead of American ones.

He’s also retweeting himself from 10 hours ago because the adderall is starting to wear off and he’s running out of material.

My position on Trump & Putin has always existed independent of Mueller’s report or any intel dossiers & revolved around one simple question: why won’t the most verbally abusive, belligerent, xenophobic president in modern history ever criticize Putin or Russia, even mildly? Why? https://t.co/UOWNzmbw8O
— Mehdi Hasan (@mehdirhasan) September 5, 2020
His refusal to criticize Putin is stunning. It is literally the only thing he shows any self-discipline about as president. What they have must be really powerful. https://t.co/Us9tKy7AAK

This gentleman is not a wounded veteran. He was born without arms, as Snopes has explained https://t.co/JQm1wQjRLC.

The Trump campaign also wrongly depicted him as a veteran in a 2016 ad...using this photo to replace an image that showed Russian veterans instead of Americans. pic.twitter.com/iYf8pmwZrL

Yes. A low-budget ad about treating veterans better. When people pointed out the men in the stock footage had Soviet medals on their uniforms https://t.co/eFPGE0xf9u, the campaign replaced them with this photo, which is, again, also not of a veteran. https://t.co/m4Eh9Z2tnn
