Trump apparently shared a tweet on Monday evening containing an image of Jeffrey MacDonald, a former US army officer and medical doctor who was found guilty of killing his pregnant wife and their two daughters in 1970.
The image featured a picture of MacDonald in military uniform, underneath the caption: My bad ass Vietnam vet dad has balls too which is why hes voting Trump!
The error was quickly highlighted by other Twitter users but remained live on his account over seven hours later. It has since been deleted.

Donald Trump retweets serial killer photo in comedian's Twitter prank
Donald Trump is famous for retweeting charity appeals and other requests on Twitter, but his generosity led to him being duped on Monday. The tycoon and US Apprentice guru 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? Trump merrily retweeted the image, not knowing that the picture was of notorious British serial killers Fred and Rose West.
