In a recent campaign video released on Tuesday, US President Joe Biden expressed his concerns over his predecessor and likely election opponent Donald Trump's use of Nazi rhetoric. Holding a phone in his hand, Biden was seen reacting to a video shared by Trump on his social media site Truth Social. In the clip, the Democrat stated, "Is this on his official account? Wow." He went on to say, "Trump is using Hitler's language. That's not America's language."
The video shared by Trump, which was later deleted, featured mock newspaper articles that would be written if he were to win the presidential election in November. However, among the headlines was a subheading mentioning the creation of a "unified Reich," a term often associated with the Third Reich under Adolf Hitler's Nazi regime. According to reports, the text used in the video was taken from a Wikipedia entry on World War I and was created using a ready-made newspaper article mask. This same clip has also been circulating online.
Biden continued to criticize Trump at a campaign event in Boston on Tuesday, stating that "the threat that Trump poses is greater in the second term than it was in the first." He also called Trump "a little unhinged" and accused him of seeking revenge after losing the 2020 presidential election. The two are set to face off in a rematch on November 5, with both having secured enough delegates to be nominated as candidates for the Democratic and Republican parties, respectively.
Trump's use of radical rhetoric in his campaign has been a cause for concern, with many accusing him of using hateful and dehumanizing language, as well as making racist statements and inciting hatred against minorities. In addition, Trump has also compared Biden's government to the Gestapo, the official secret police of Nazi Germany. This has sparked further criticism from Biden and others, who believe that such language is divisive and has no place in American politics.
