Joe Biden’s campaign quickly seized on a video posted to Donald Trump’s social media account that referenced a “unified Reich” as a possibility if the former president were to win back the White House in November.
“Trump posts a new ad foreshadowing a second Trump term that says he will create a ‘Unified Reich,’ echoing Nazi Germany,” the Biden campaign said after the text was spotted.
The video posited what another Trump term would look like, with face headlines mixed with smaller text. Below a headline with the words, “What’s next for America?” was a smaller headline that mentioned the “creation of a unified Reich.”
The Trump campaign tried to distance itself from the video. “This 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,...

Former President Donald Trump stated that, if he becomes president again, then he would consider pardoning all the convicted Jan. 6 Capitol rioters on a “case-by-case” basis.
“You have called the men and women who have been prosecuted for their actions on Jan. 6 ‘hostages’ and ‘political prisoners,'” the Time journalist asked Trump. “More than 800 of these people have been sentenced through our judicial system, most of whom pleaded guilty. Some of them have been convicted by juries. You’ve said you will pardon them. Are you calling into question the conclusions of the justice system in more than 800 cases?”
“It’s a two-tier system,” the former president declared. “Because when I look at Portland, when I look at Minneapolis, where they took over police precincts and everything else, and went after federal buildings when I look at other situations that were violent, and where people were killed, nothing happened to them.

Donald Trump has embraced fascist rhetoric and made bald declarations of his desire for dictatorial powers as he seeks a return to the White House in 2024. This is not politics as usual. The inflammatory language puts Trump a world apart from any presumptive, major-party nominee in modern American memory. And it’s getting worse.
In May, Trump’s account on Truth Social posted a campaign-style ad that flashed imagined scenes of the nation following a Trump victory in November. Using a German word for “empire,” unambiguously linked to Hitler, the video foreshadowed a “Unified Reich.

Donald Trump wants to implement a 16-week national abortion ban, The New York Times reported on Friday.
The former president has largely avoided taking on reproductive rights during the Republican primary, although he has at times made a point to take credit for the Supreme Court’s 2022 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. The decision has been blamed for the GOP’s lackluster showing in the 2022 midterm elections, and Rolling Stone reported last year that Trump has privately griped that the party is “getting killed on abortion.”
