The former president ignored a reporter’s question about why he posted the apparent allusion to Nazi Germany<\/b>
\nFormer president Donald Trump posted a video on his social media network, Truth Social, that includes hypothetical headlines should he win in November \u2014 including a reference to a \u201cunified Reich.\u201d
In a statement to the Associated Press, Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt claimed the video, including its apparent signalling to neo-Nazis, was the result of a \u00ab\u00a0staffer\u00a0\u00bb posting it after seeing it shared by \u00ab\u00a0a random account online.\u00a0\u00bb But it was posted while Trump, who is on trial in Manhattan, was on a lunch break from court.
In the 30-second video, headlines appear such as \u201cTrump wins!!\u201d and \u201cEconomy booms!\u201d\u00a0 Headlines referencing World War I also show up \u2014 specifically, a text copied from a Wikipedia entry on the war: \u201cGerman industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.\u201d <\/p>\n

On Tuesday outside court, Trump ignored a reporter’s question about why the video was posted.
Although the word \u201cReich\u201d is typically used about Nazi Germany\u2019s Third Reich, in the video, it appears to be referencing \u201cthe formation of the modern pan-German nation, unifying smaller states in single Reich, or empire, in 1871,\u201d AP reported
Some of the other headlines read: \u201cBorder Is Closed\u201d and \u201d15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported.\u00a0\u00bb
The former president, who dined with white supremacist influencer Nick Fuentes in 2022, has previously echoed Adolf Hitler\u2019s rhetoric, saying immigrants entering the U.S. are \u201cpoisoning the blood of our country.\u201d<\/p>\n
