Donald Trump shared a video on his Truth Social account on Monday that referred to a “unified Reich” if he wins the November presidential election.
The 30-second video details what happens if Trump wins the election styled as hypothetical newspaper front pages with headlines including “BORDER IS CLOSED — 15 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS DEPORTED” and “ECONOMY BOOMS.”
Under another headline that reads “What’s next for America?” is a reference to the “creation of a unified Reich.”
‘Reich,’ is in reference to Hitler’s Third Reich regime that emerged in 1930s Nazi Germany.
Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign spokeswoman, said in a statement that the video “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,” CNN reports.
The video has since been removed from Trump’s Truth Social account.
The Biden campaign, meanwhile condemned the former president for parroting Hitler again.
“Donald Trump is not playing games; he is telling America exactly what he intends to do if he regains power: rule as a dictator over a ‘unified reich,'” James Singer, spokesman for President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, said in a statement.
“Parroting ‘Mein Kampf’ while you warn of a bloodbath if you lose is the type of unhinged behavior you get from a guy who knows that democracy continues to reject his extreme vision of chaos, division, and violence,” Singer added.
The White House also condemned Trump.
“It is abhorrent, sickening, and disgraceful for anyone to promote content associated with Germany’s Nazi government under Adolf Hitler,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.
