Trump tweeted out that video and others an an apparent attempt to highlight Muslims committing crimes in other nations.

Trump shared that video and two others on Twitter that the original Twitter user claimed show Muslim men murdering a boy and trashing objects representing other religions.
In the video that concerned the Dutch Embassy, a man walked up to another man on crutches and began beating him.
The Islamic State has previously published videos of beheading Christians, pushing LGTBQ people off buildings, and other actions to non-Muslims.
