The year is 2015.
One of my conservative relatives: Courtney, you speak German, and you grew up over there. Does the way Trump speaks remind you of Hitler?
Me: Without a shred of doubt.

It has now been taken down, but a video posted to Donald Trump’s account on his social media network included references to a “unified Reich.” The headline appears among messages flashing across the screen such as “Trump wins!!” Other headlines appear to be references to World War I. The word “Reich” is often largely associated with Nazi Germany’s Third Reich. The 30-second video was shared Monday on Trump’s Truth Social account while he was on a lunch break from his Manhattan hush money trial. His campaign says a staffer posted the video and missed the word. On Tuesday morning, the post of the video had been deleted.
