President Donald Trump appears to have mistakenly retweeted a message from one of his critics, who said, “He’s a fascist.”

Trump deleted his retweet Tuesday after about five minutes, but not before the message, sent to his 35 million followers, racked up a big response.

Trump seems to have been trying to draw attention to a “Fox & Friends” article on a possible presidential pardon for former Phoenix-area Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted for ignoring a U.S. court order to stop traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.

A Twitter handle identified as @MikeHolden42 tweeted to Trump, “He’s a fascist, so not unusual.” The user suggested in subsequent tweets that he was calling Trump a facist, not Arpaio.

Trump retweeted the message to his massive following, triggering an avalanche of replies. @MikeHolden42 responded, “I’m announcing my retirement from Twitter. I’ll never top this RT.” He later updated his description on Twitter as “Officially Endorsed by the President of the United States.”
