Pretty solid write-up at Atlantic. They actually found the newspaper article the copy language comes from.

The Real Meaning of Trump’s ‘Unified Reich’ Post

The video the former president reposted on Truth Social yesterday isn’t what people are making it out to be.

Also - they have pulled it and blamed some underling.

i gotta be honest here, that piece seemed more of an "excuse" than anything else.

I mean, it goes on to say " Trumps problem....." as this isnt the first, nor the last, this has happened. So there is a pattern here and while he may not be full-throated nazi-germany symp, he certainly likes to allow these things to organically grow or disappear. ( especially propaganda )

Then questions Bidens team of using it to counter Trump, as if they need to be held to some higher standard.

Wasnt too keen on that piece.

CNN) — The phrase “unified Reich,” which appeared in a video posted by the Trump campaign and caused a firestorm of controversy, appears to have originated as placeholder text in a collection of video templates created in 2023 by a 30-year-old Turkish freelance graphic designer.

The video, posted and subsequently removed by the Trump campaign earlier this week, included imagined headlines that newspapers might run if former President Donald Trump is reelected.

Among them: “What’s next for America,” under which the fictional article displays language that many associate with Nazi Germany, including the phrase, “creation of a unified Reich.”

The reference was condemned by President Joe Biden, and the Trump campaign said it didn’t create the video – it was reposted by a staffer who didn’t see that particular text.

Bizarrely, the fake article’s text appears to trace its origins to a graphic designer named Enes Şimşek who lives near Istanbul.

In an exclusive interview with CNN, Şimşek said that the Trump ad appears to have been created from video graphics he built in May of last year, designed to give customers the option of building something that looked like an old-fashioned newsreel.

Şimşek said he actually searched Google for text about World War I – not World War II – and copied language he found and pasted it into in the newspaper article: “German industrial strength and production had significantly increased after 1871, driven by the creation of a unified Reich.”…….
