More dictator rhetoric from his orangeness.
Trump posted a video on Truth Social calling the country a 'unified reich' if he wins
Former President Donald Trump posted a video to Truth Social Thursday night portraying hypothetical headlines about a second Trump term. Beneath one is text about "the creation of a unified reich."
The post had been removed from Truth as of Tuesday morning, but several Twitter users reposted it before it could be taken down.
The video purports to show news stories that would be written if Trump were elected: "ECONOMY BOOMS," reads one headline. "BORDER CLOSED," declares another.
The video ends on a large headline reading "MAGA!!" Beneath it, in blurry but legible text, a smaller headline talks about the "creation of a unified reich." The use of the German word "reich" is reminiscent of the Third Reich, the official Nazi designation for its government and territory.
In another part of the video, a background headline also says, "President Trump rejects globalist warmon" — the word "warmongers" presumably being cut off here. Some consider the word "globalist" an antisemitic slur.
Throughout the video, the newspaper backgrounds appear to have been cobbled together from World War I-era news, referring to events and dates from that time period.
The incident adds to a long line of connections between the former president and antisemitism.
