It’s another Tweet faux pas for The Donald.

[Trump] retweeted an endorsement from a person he believed to be the son of a Vietnam veteran on Monday night.
But Twitter users soon pointed out that the uniformed man in the black and white picture accompanying the tweet was Jeffrey MacDonald. The former U.S. army officer and doctor was convicted of murdering his pregnant wife, Colette, and two daughters in 1979. He is currently serving three life sentences.
The error is particularly embarrassing for Trump while he is still embroiled in the row over his controversial remarks about McCain, who was a prisoner of war in Vietnam…
It is not the first time Trump, an enthusiastic retweeter, has been fooled into sharing pictures which are not what they seem.
In September last year, Trump was sent a photo of a couple by a Twitter user with the message: “My parents who passed away always said you were a big inspiration. Can you please RT for their memory?”
The picture was of the notorious British serial killers Fred and Rose West.
