Twitter has flagged another tweet from the president of the United States as misleading, noting that Donald Trump had posted "manipulated media" Thursday night.

The June 18 post purported to be a segment from CNN. It took a real video that went viral last year, of two Black and white children embracing, and distorted it to make it appear as if the white child had actually chased the Black child.
