Donald Trump on Sunday retweeted a doctored video of him swinging a golf club and launching a ball at Hillary Clinton.
In the clip, the ball hits Clinton in the back, and she then stumbles as she boards a plane.
The video shows Trump swinging the club before it segues to a fake shot of a ball hitting his former Democratic presidential rival.
“Donald Trump’s amazing golf swing #CrookedHillary,” Trump’s tweet read.
At around the same time Sunday morning, Trump tweeted: “Important meetings and calls scheduled for today. Military and economy are getting stronger by the day, and our enemies know it. #MAGA.”
The original video that shows Clinton boarding the plane was from 2011 when she was secretary of state under former President Barack Obama. It doesn’t show a golf ball, but she did fall down.
It comes just days after Clinton released her book “What Happened,” which delves into her experiences during the 2016 presidential election.
Trump went after Clinton Wednesday as she was promoting her book, saying she is making excuses for why she lost the race.
“Crooked Hillary Clinton blames everybody (and every thing) but herself for her election loss,” he tweeted. “She lost the debates and lost her direction! The ‘deplorables’ came back to haunt Hillary. They expressed their feelings loud and clear. She spent big money but, in the end, had no game!”
According to Reuters, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said last week that Clinton’s book features many “false narratives.”
In early July, Trump retweeted a doctored video of him slamming a humanoid CNN figure to the ground, with the hashtags “#FraudNewsCNN #FNN.” The clip that Trump retweeted came from an appearance the president made in 2007 on World Wrestling Entertainment. In the original video, Trump clotheslines WWE CEO Vince McMahon as he was taunting “Stone Cold” Steve Austin.
