He retweeted a video wherein a man yelled white power.

I watched the video and it seemed pretty obvious that the old man responded mockingly to the other person accusing him of white power.

I don’t think the driver was actually chanting white power as a claim that white power was his desire.

Now, there’s certainly an argument for not making such a response and to channel anger better and not joke about such things. But I don’t think retweeting that video is a show of support for white power. Poor taste is much more likely.

Poor taste is much more likely.

Was that not the very point of some people’s frustration? Why does the intentions of the person on the video need justification, rationalization or explanation?

Perhaps the chanter was being ironically racist, but I think its pretty hard to see Trump's retweeting of it as ironic.

Your entire post history is just you repeating the same talking points from a clear side of the political spectrum. But it’s not “hate” when it aligns with your beliefs, I suppose?
