    Oh, so Trump is now running on the glory of the German republic? Seems like an odd shift in campaign strategy. /s

    “Reich” doesn’t mean “Nazi”.

    That might be true in german. But Trump’s addressing the US, and particularly a demographic known to a) not speak german, b) associate "Reich"with the propaganda of the Aryan Third Reich of Nazi propaganda, which was the ideal to be ushered in by (and excuse) the Holocaust, Secret Police, Ghettos, systematic execution of homosexuals/disabled/colored, the subjugation of the lesser races, and other pastimes of the notoriously sympatico nazis.

      In the video they seem to refer to the 2nd Reich of 1871.

      Which is cool because of they it so much they should adopt a couple of their policies. Like universal healthcare (1883).

      I know they mean 1933 when they say 1871 but let’s still make this about healthcare and social security that were introduced in the ‘unified Reich’.
