A video posted to Donald Trump香蕉视频直播檚 account on his social media network included references to a 香蕉视频直播渦nified Reich香蕉视频直播� among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November.

The headline appears among messages flashing across the screen such as 香蕉视频直播淭rump wins!!香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播淓conomy booms!香蕉视频直播� Other headlines appear to be references to World War I. The word 香蕉视频直播淩eich香蕉视频直播� is often largely associated with Nazi Germany香蕉视频直播檚 Third Reich, though the references in the video Trump shared appear to be a reference to the formation of the modern pan-German nation, unifying smaller states into a single Reich, or empire, in 1871.

The 30-second video appeared Monday on Trump香蕉视频直播檚 account at a time when the presumptive Republican nominee for president, while seeking to portray President Joe Biden as soft on antisemitism, has himself repeatedly faced criticism for using language and rhetoric associated with Nazi Germany.

It was posted and shared on the former president香蕉视频直播檚 Truth Social account while he was on a lunch break from his Manhattan hush money trial Monday afternoon. On Tuesday morning, the post of the video had been deleted.

香蕉视频直播淭his 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, while the President was in court,香蕉视频直播� Karoline Leavitt, the campaign press secretary, said in a statement.

Earlier this month, Trump said at a fundraiser that Biden is running a 香蕉视频直播淕estapo administration,香蕉视频直播� referring to the secret Nazi police force.

Trump previously used rhetoric echoing Adolf Hitler when he said immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are 香蕉视频直播減oisoning the blood of our country,香蕉视频直播� and called his opponents 香蕉视频直播渧ermin.香蕉视频直播�

The former president has also drawn wide backlash for having dined with a Holocaust-denying white nationalist in 2022 and for downplaying the 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, where white nationalists chanted 香蕉视频直播淛ews will not replace us!香蕉视频直播�

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: 香蕉视频直播淕erman industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.香蕉视频直播�

In one image, the headlines 香蕉视频直播淏order Is Closed香蕉视频直播� and 香蕉视频直播�15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported香蕉视频直播� appear above smaller text with the start and end dates of World War I.

The video appears to have been created by a meme creator who goes by the username Ramble_Rants.

The creator, who is part of a group of meme makers that The New York Times reported has previously collaborated with the Trump campaign, posted the video on the social platform X Monday morning.

In a post on X, Ramble_Rants defended the video, arguing that it was about 香蕉视频直播淎merican peace and prosperity.香蕉视频直播�

The user explained in a post that the newspaper clippings in the video were pre-selected as part of a template showing historical headlines from the stock video company Envato Elements.
