A video posted to Donald Trump91裸聊视频檚 account on his social media network included references to a 91裸聊视频渦nified Reich91裸聊视频� among hypothetical news headlines if he wins the election in November.

The headline appears among messages flashing across the screen such as 91裸聊视频淭rump wins!!91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频淓conomy booms!91裸聊视频� Other headlines appear to be references to World War I. The word 91裸聊视频淩eich91裸聊视频� is often largely associated with Nazi Germany91裸聊视频檚 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 Trump91裸聊视频檚 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 president91裸聊视频檚 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.

91裸聊视频淭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,91裸聊视频� Karoline Leavitt, the campaign press secretary, said in a statement.

Earlier this month, Trump said at a fundraiser that Biden is running a 91裸聊视频淕estapo administration,91裸聊视频� referring to the secret Nazi police force.

Trump previously used rhetoric echoing Adolf Hitler when he said immigrants entering the U.S. illegally are 91裸聊视频減oisoning the blood of our country,91裸聊视频� and called his opponents 91裸聊视频渧ermin.91裸聊视频�

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 91裸聊视频淛ews will not replace us!91裸聊视频�

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: 91裸聊视频淕erman industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.91裸聊视频�

In one image, the headlines 91裸聊视频淏order Is Closed91裸聊视频� and 91裸聊视频�15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported91裸聊视频� 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 91裸聊视频淎merican peace and prosperity.91裸聊视频�

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.
