WASHINGTON:
One of them purports to show a Muslim beating up a Dutch boy on crutches. Another is described as showing a mob pushing a teenager of a rooftop.
The third purports to show a Muslim throwing down and smashing a statue of the Virgin Mary.
The retweets were part of an early morning burst in which Trump again dismissed CNN as "Fake News" and insisted the US economy was in "record territory" by many measures.
Trump also said consumer confidence was at an all-time high.
"I guess somebody likes me (my policies)!" the president wrote.
Trump's Muslim ban, which bars entry of people from six Muslim-majority countries into the US, is set to go into full effect.
