Following the release of a film that made reference to a “unified Reich,” US President Joe Biden accused his predecessor and probable opponent in the upcoming election, Donald Trump, of employing Nazi rhetoric.
“Trump is speaking in terms of Hitler.” That’s not America,” Biden declared in a video ad.
In the brief video, the Democrat was seen holding a phone and asked, “Is this on his official account? ” in reference to the footage. Whoa.
Earlier on Monday, Trump posted a mockumentary of newspaper headlines that would be published if he won the presidency in November on his social media platform, Truth Social. The video was then removed.
One of the passages that was highlighted has a subheading that discussed the establishment of a single Reich.
The German word “empire” is frequently connected to the Third Reich, which was ruled by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party from 1933 to 1945.
According to US media, the word “Reich” in the movie most likely alludes to the establishment of the German Reich in 1871. The wording was stolen from a Wikipedia article about World War I.
Utilizing a prefabricated newspaper article disguise, the film was produced.
It has reportedly also been used in other videos that are making the rounds on the internet.
The video on Trump’s platform also features references to World War I in other newspaper headlines.
Later, Trump’s team acknowledged that the video had been taken off from his account.
“It was not a campaign video, it was created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word,” an official for his campaign stated.
Additionally, during a Tuesday campaign appearance in Boston, Biden targeted the Republican, who is attempting to win back the White House.
Reporters accompanying the 81-year-old stated that “the threat that Trump poses is greater in the second term than it was in the first.”
He described Trump as rather insane and charged that, following his defeat in the 2020 presidential contest, he was out for vengeance.
It was almost inevitable that Biden and Trump would square off on November 5 in a repeat of the 2020 election.
Both of them received the necessary amount of delegates to be put up as Democratic and Republican party nominees, respectively.
According to NAN, Trump has been encouraging hatred towards minorities and employing radical rhetoric during his election campaign, including dehumanising and abusive language.
