A video on former President Trump's Truth Social mentioned a 'unified Reich' under a second Trump term. Critics were quick to pounce.

He's dined with a white supremacist. He's invoked theories espoused by Nazis in their quest for racial purity. His response to white supremacists marching in Charlottesville? There were 'very fine people on both sides. ' So this week, when a video on former President Trump's Truth Social account made reference to a 'unified Reich,' his opponents were primed to pounce.

The text that appears in the video come from a Wikipedia entry on World War I. The unified Reich idea most likely references history that precedes the foundation of the Third Reich, when Hitler came to power in 1933. Still, the term 'Reich,' which in German means realm or empire, has become closely associated with Hitler and the massacring of Jews and other minorities. Trump critics note the Reich reference joins a long string of comments and associations that echo Nazi ideology.
