A 30-second video clip posted by former president, Donald Trump, on his Truth Social account, which referenced a “unified Reich” has been deleted by the Trump campaign.

The clip which appeared on Mr Trump’s account on Monday, and deleted the following day, outlined a vision of the US under Mr Trump with stylised headlines, one of which used a term associated with Nazi Germany.

According to the BBC, the text in the video started with heralding a “TRUMP LANDSLIDE” along with a voiceover saying “What happens if Donald Trump wins?”

Another headline read, “Industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.”

Other headlines that appeared in the video included, “Border Is Closed” and “15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported,” along with a picture of a portion of the wall on the US southern border and the dates of World War One.

Spokesperson for Mr Trump, Karoline Leavitt, said the post “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.”

However, James Singer, the campaign spokesman for President Joe Biden, said, “Donald Trump posting a ‘unified Reich’ video is part of a pattern of his praise for dictators and echoing antisemitic tropes. He is telling America exactly what he intends to do if he regains power: rule as a dictator over a ‘unified Reich’.”
