The section of the video showing Clinton getting hit with the golf ball and falling into a plane comes from footage of Clinton in 2011 tripping while boarding an airplane in Yemen, according to the New York Times.
Buzzfeed reported Sunday that the Twitter account where the image originated makes racial, anti-Semitic, and anti-LGBT comments.
Trump has retweeted images that encourage violence from supporters in the past, including a video of him wrestling CNN to the ground.
