Former President Donald Trump posted a video on Monday showing images of a fake newspaper article that references a “unified Reich” if he’s reelected in 2024. The video, posted to Trump’s Truth Social account, details “what happens after Donald Trump wins” with a narrator reading hypothetical headlines like “Economy Booms!” and “Border is closed,” styled as World War I-era newspaper clippings. Under one headline that reads “What’s next for America?” is a reference to the “creation of a unified Reich.” Another headline in the video states “15 Million Illegal Aliens Deported” next to the start and end days of World War I. The term “reich” is often associated Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler, who designated Germany a “Third Reich” from 1933 to 1945. Karoline Leavitt, a Trump campaign spokesperson, said in a statement that the video, which remains on Trump’s page, was not created by the campaign and was “reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word, while the President was in court.” The Biden campaign, meanwhile, blasted an email statement hammering Trump over the use of the word “reich.” Biden campaign spokesperson James Singer said in the statement that Trump intends to rule as a “dictator.”

It all ends up stranded on the sands of Bagdad beach in northern Tamaulipas, Mexico, home to an endangered species of sea turtle. Just across the border lies Starbase, SpaceX’s launchpad and company town in what once was called Boca Chica, Texas.
