And this somehow makes him look better?
We know Trump is a white supremacist. Him retweeting white supremacist garbage likely isn't going to move anybody anymore. But if it can push the Russian bounty scandal out of the headlines, it's good for Trump, because that scandal might change opinions that haven't been changed yet.
Now that it's been pushed out of the headlines, the Repubs have had time to get their stories straight, so you're going to see them fanning out to insist that the "Deep State" hid all this from Donald to make him look bad, and that's why Donald didn't know anything about it, so it's not HIS fault...
I suspect they'll let someone in Intelligence take the fall for this one. Gina Haspel or Richard Grenell, maybe? The point is to make sure EVERYONE knows Trump and Pence know nothing, so they can't be blamed for lack of response!
