It appears the infamous “Unified Reich” ad came from the Dilley Meme Team that is connected to far-right MAGA extremist Brenden Dilley.
On May 20, Trump posted on Truth Social a short video that shows hypothetical newspaper articles from after a Trump victory, including three mentions of a “unified Reich.” As The Associated Press explained, “The word 'Reich' is often largely associated with Nazi Germany’s Third Reich, though the references in the video Trump shared appear to be a reference to the formation of the modern pan-German nation, unifying smaller states into a single Reich, or empire, in 1871.”
The post was deleted after Trump’s campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the video “was created by a random account online and reposted by a staffer who clearly did not see the word.”
Despite Leavitt’s claims that the video came from a “random” online account, the AP revealed it “appears to have been created” by a meme creator who goes by the username Ramble_Rants and is part of a “group of meme makers” that has ties to Trump’s campaign.

Trump and his campaign have repeatedly shared the meme team’s material, and the campaign reportedly “privately communicated with members of the meme team, giving them access and making specific requests for content,” and “in at least one instance … shared behind-the-scenes footage to be used in videos, according to members of the team.” Trump has been photographed with Dilley and reportedly “sent personalized notes to several of the group’s members, thanking them for their work.”
Today on Truth Social (and Instagram, but that has since been deleted there), Nazi Germany fetishist Donald Trump posted an adfeaturing a clarion call to create a North American version of the Third Reich with the words “Unified Reich” if he is elected again.
Donald Trump’s social media account on Monday shared a video referencing a “unified reich” in a post about how the country will change if he becomes president again.
His campaign said a staffer did not see the word “reich” before it was posted — an explanation President Joe Biden’s team blasted on Monday night.
In the video shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, while a narrator described “What happens after Donald Trump wins,” the screen twice flashed to a headline showing the words “Industrial strength significantly increased … driven by the creation of a unified reich.”
The German phrase “reich” refers to an empire, but also carries the connotation of Adolph Hitler’s “Third Reich,” another name for his Nazi regime.
Soo Rin Kim, Lalee Ibssa, and Kelsey Walsh at ABC News:
Former President Donald Trump on Monday posted a video on his social media platform that uses a language that appears to mirror that of Nazi Germany, suggesting there will be a "Unified Reich" if he wins the 2024 election.
The phrase "Unified Reich" appears as a part of hypothetical news headlines that announce Trump's hypothetical victory in the 2024 election, with the narrator asking, "What happens after Donald Trump wins?"
Under a big headline that says, "WHAT'S NEXT FOR AMERICA?" there is a smaller headline underneath that appears to read: "INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DRIVEN BY THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED REICH."
The video then predicts an economic boom, tax cuts, border security and deportation of undocumented immigrants if Trump wins the 2024 election.
He just cannot quit his obsession with Nazi Germany themes. Let this ad be a reminder that electing Joe Biden is paramount to stop the Trumpian fascist takeover come the fall.
