Trump shares video hinting at 'unified Empire' in future term

Former President Donald Trump recently shared a video on his Truth Social account. The video features images of a fake newspaper article discussing the possibility of a "unified Reich" if Trump is reelected in 2024.

In the video, the narrator presents hypothetical headlines that speculate on the outcomes of Trump winning the election. These headlines include "Economy Booms!" and "Border is closed," designed to resemble newspaper clippings from the World War I era. One headline in particular asks, "What's next for America?" and mentions the potential creation of a unified Reich.

Another headline in the video mentions the deportation of 15 million illegal aliens, along with the start and end dates of World War I.

The term "reich" is commonly linked to Nazi Germany during Adolf Hitler's reign, where Germany was referred to as the "Third Reich" from 1933 to 1945.

Karoline Leavitt, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign, stated that the video on Trump's page was not made by the campaign. It was accidentally reposted by a staff member who did not notice the word while the President was in court.

In contrast, the Biden campaign strongly criticized Trump for using the word "reich." Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer accused Trump of wanting to rule as a dictator in an email statement.

Attention America! Donald Trump is not joking around. He is clearly stating his intentions if he were to regain power: to rule as a dictator over a 'unified reich,' as stated by Singer.

In the past, Trump has been criticized for using antisemitic language. He has faced backlash for attacking Jewish Americans who he believes do not support him and Israel enough. His language, such as calling undocumented migrants "poison" to our country and referring to his political opponents as "vermin," has been compared to Hitler's rhetoric.

At a rally in December, Trump pushed back on criticism that his rhetoric has echoed Hitler, telling a crowd in Iowa that he’s never read “Mein Kampf.”

The former president's sharing of a video featuring a fake newspaper article discussing the creation of a "unified Reich" if he is reelected is deeply disturbing. The term
