The doctored version of the Gary Varvel cartoon that was briefly retweeted by President Trump. “The cartoon was altered without anyone’s knowledge or permission at the Star.”The Twitter user who shared the altered version, and whom Trump retweeted, @SLandinSoCal, has not replied to Post messages. Trump deleted the retweet after it began to draw criticism in the wake of violence in Charlottesville over the weekend.
