<p>US President Donald Trump on Sunday shared a video of a stand-off between his supporters and naysayers in which a man chants "white power". He later deleted the tweet amid an outcry.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Thank you to the great people of The Villages," Trump tweeted above the video clip. "The Radical Left Do Nothing Democrats will Fall in the Fall."</p>

<p>The footage was apparently taken in a Florida retirement community, and showed a man driving a golf-cart bearing "Trump 2020" and "America First" signs being heckled by a roadside protester chanting "racist."</p>

<p>As they yelled at each other, the driver repeatedly mouthed the words "white power" with a raised fist.</p>
