Trump posts social media video apparently suggesting his victory will bring a ‘unified Reich’

Former president Donald Trump posted a video on its social media platform on Monday that uses language that appears to mirror that of Nazi Germany, suggesting there will be a “unified Reich” if it wins the 2024 election.

The phrase “Unified Reich” appears as part of hypothetical news headlines announcing Trump’s hypothetical victory in the 2024 election, with the narrator asking, “What will happen after Donald Trump wins?”

Under a headline that reads: “WHAT’S NEXT FOR AMERICA?” » there is a smaller headline underneath that appears to read: “INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BY THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED REICH”.

The video then predicts an economic boom, tax cuts, border security and the deportation of undocumented immigrants if Trump wins the 2024 election.

In a statement to The Associated Press, the Trump campaign claimed it was not a campaign video but rather a video reposted by a staffer who did not see the post.

“This was not a campaign video, it was created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word, while the president was in court,” Karoline said Leavitt, campaign press secretary, in a statement.

The video was posted at 1:58 p.m. ET as Trump’s secret trial was taking place at lunch. The video was still online late Monday evening.

ABC News has reached out to the Trump campaign for comment.

A spokesperson for the Biden-Harris 2024 campaign criticized the video, saying it “repeats ‘Mein Kampf'”.

“America, stop scrolling and pay attention. Donald Trump is not playing a game; he is telling America exactly what he intends to do if he returns to power: rule as a dictator over a ‘unified Reich’ Repeating “Mein Kampf” while warning of bloodshed if you lose is the type of unhinged behavior you get from a guy who knows democracy continues to reject his extreme vision. chaos, division and violence,” spokesman James Singer said. read.
