A video referencing a “unified Reich” as a potential outcome of a Donald Trump victory in November was uploaded, then subsequently removed, from Trump’s Truth Social account. 

The Details: The video, shared on Monday afternoon, included fictitious newspaper headlines envisioning a Trump win, one of which mentioned a “unified Reich,” a German term often associated with Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime. The video was removed on Tuesday after receiving significant backlash.

Key Quotes: A Trump campaign spokesperson stated, “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.” A Biden campaign spokesperson stated, “Donald Trump is not playing games; he is telling America exactly what he intends to do if he regains power: rule as a dictator over a ‘unified reich.’”

How the Media Covered It: The Hill (Center bias) noted prior Trump controversies, stating that Trump was “widely rebuked for saying immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are ‘poisoning the blood of our country’ and for calling his opponents ‘vermin,’ language that echoed Hitler.” The Washington Examiner (Lean Right bias) reported, “In recent months, Trump has tried to court the Jewish American vote, but some of his statements have been condemned as antisemitic.” CNN (Lean Left bias) stated that Trump has “previously played into antisemitic tropes, drawing broad condemnation for lashing out at Jewish Americans he says don’t support him and Israel enough.” This summary was developed with the help of AllSides' AI technology.

Former President Donald Trump posted a video on Monday showing images of a fake newspaper article that references a “unified Reich” if he’s reelected in 2024.

The video details “what happens after Donald Trump wins” with a narrator reading hypothetical headlines like “Economy Booms!” and “Border is closed,” styled as World War I-era newspaper clippings. Under one headline that reads “What’s next for America?” is a reference to the “creation of a unified Reich.”

The White House blasted former President Trump on Tuesday after he shared a video on Truth Social that referenced a “unified Reich” if he won a second term, calling it “dangerous and offensive.”

“It is abhorrent, sickening, and disgraceful for anyone to promote content associated with Germany’s Nazi government under Adolf Hitler,” White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement.

“Any Antisemitic dog whistling is dangerous and offensive – and profoundly un-American,” he added.

The campaign to elect former President Donald Trump is scrambling trying to explain why Trump shared a video with the phrase “unified Reich,” which refers to Nazi Germany.

During the video, a narrator described “what happens after Donald Trump wins,” and the screen flashed to a newspaper headline reading, “Industrial strength significantly increased … driven by the creation of a unified Reich.” The term “reich” refers to an empire, but the word was also used by Adolf Hitler’s “Third Reich,” another name for his Nazi regime.
