President Biden has spoken out against a video shared on Donald Trump's social media account, where Trump predicted a 'unified Reich' if he were to return to the White House. The video, posted on True Social, featured headlines reminiscent of World War I-era newspaper clippings, with the term 'unified Reich' associated with Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
The video, which was reposted by a staffer and later deleted, sparked backlash from the Biden administration. President Biden directly addressed Trump's use of Hitler's language, calling it appalling and a threat to American democracy.
This is not the first time Trump has used inflammatory rhetoric. In the past, he has made racist and anti-Semitic remarks, such as questioning the sanity of Jewish individuals who support Democrats and using derogatory language to describe undocumented migrants and political opponents.
Trump's history of controversial statements dates back to his 2016 campaign, where he tweeted graphics with perceived anti-Semitic imagery and made divisive comments following the Charlottesville white supremacist rally.
The recent video shared by Trump is seen as part of a pattern of behavior that has characterized his political career. Biden's response underscores the importance of rejecting language that incites division and hatred, emphasizing the need to uphold American values of unity and democracy.
