A video mentioning a “unified Reich”, a terminology evoking Nazi Germany, was removed on Tuesday from one of Donald Trump’s social network accounts, after sparking very strong criticism from the Democratic camp.

“Why did it take him so long?” »Reacted a campaign spokesperson for the Democratic president, James Singer, who counted that the video remained online for 19 hours on Truth Social, the Republican candidate’s network.

White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre promised that President Joe Biden would speak directly on the matter, while declaring that it was “abhorrent, repugnant and shameful for anyone to promote content associated with Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

“What will happen after Donald Trump wins? What to expect for America? » asks the voice-over of this 30-second video published by Donald Trump’s account on his platform, displaying imaginary press headlines in the event of the 77-year-old tycoon’s victory in November.

While newspapers headline “The economy is booming!” » or even “The border is closed”, a fictitious press headline reports “the creation of a unified Reich”.

The word “Reich” is generally used to refer to Nazi Germany.

Error

Donald Trump’s campaign team assured that it was an external and accidental error.

“This was not a campaign video, it was created by one of many online accounts and reposted by an employee who clearly did not see the word (Reich), even though the president was in court,” a spokesperson for the Republican’s campaign team, Karoline Leavitt, told AFP.

Donald Trump himself, on trial in New York, did not answer a question asked by the press on this subject.

No reference to Nazism is also visible in the video. In these images, which combine blurred extracts of text in the background with the appearance of newspaper articles, allusions to the First World War are made.

Joe Biden’s supporters assure, on the contrary, that this latest incident owes nothing to chance.

Referring to past statements and actions by Donald Trump, a spokesperson for the American executive, Andrew Bates, judged Tuesday that it was “just as shameful to dine with Nazis” or “to claim that Hitler had “does good things”.”

“Vermin”

The fact that the Republican “puts online a video on a “unified Reich” is in line with his praise of dictators and the anti-Semitic rhetoric he has echoed. He threatens our democracy,” attacked James Singer, of the Democratic president’s campaign team.

Donald Trump regularly explains that his rival Joe Biden has failed to stem anti-Semitism in the United States in the context of the war between Israel and the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

The former Republican president uses often violent rhetoric and terms associated with fascist ideologies in his campaign, notably when he refers to his political opponents as “vermin” or when he accuses immigrants of “poisoning the blood” of the United States.

In 2017, while in office at the White House, Donald Trump described as “very good people” people involved in clashes between anti-racists and neo-Nazis in Charlottesville, Virginia (east), on both camps.
