Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently posted a video on his Truth Social account that included a reference to the “creation of a unified Reich.” The video sparked backlash due to its association with Nazi Germany. However, a spokesperson clarified that the video was not a campaign ad and had been reposted by a staffer who overlooked the problematic language.
Following criticism, Trump removed the video from his account. The term “Reich” historically refers to various German empires, but it is also closely linked to Adolf Hitler’s dictatorship during the Third Reich.
