Trump's social media account shares a campaign video with a headline about a 'unified Reich' - eviltoast

Trump has a very long history of using this kind of thing to say what the campaign is thinking about doing.

If you want to stop that kind of fascist outcome, about the only real option is to make sure Biden gets reelected and has a Democratic congress to help him.

That means three things:

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    NEW YORK (AP) — A video posted to Donald Trump’s account on his social media network Monday included references to a “unified Reich” among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November.

    It was posted and shared on the former president’s Truth Social account while he was on a lunch break from his Manhattan hush money trial.

    Earlier this month, Trump said at a fundraiser that Biden is running a “Gestapo administration,” referring to the secret Nazi police force.

    Trump previously used rhetoric echoing Adolf Hitler when he said immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country,” and called his opponents “vermin.”

    At least one of the headlines flashing in the video appears to be text that is copied verbatim from a Wikipedia entry on World War I: “German industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.”

    In one image, the headlines “Border Is Closed” and “15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported” appear above smaller text with the start and end dates of World War I.
