I'm sure if he wanted to be Hitler he would have done all sorts of Hitler-like things while he was President. But he didn't. Now here we go again, "but he's going to!"

He did actually attempt to stop the peaceful transfer of power and got closer then the Confederate army did.

The article you quote there literally says:

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.

It has nothing to do with Hitler, according to the very source you rely on...

The 45th President has talked about

1) How cool would be if Americans treated him the way North Koreans treat their dictator
2) How cool Putin is
3) How cool Orban is
4) How he want to be dictator "for just one day" and then....
5) ....talks about how cool it would be to have a 3rd (and illegal) term as President and now....
6) posts this thing on Truth Social mentioning a "Unified Reich"

New Reich, One Reich, Unified Reich.

whatever.

It's not even dog whistle anymore.

Are those 6 points the arguments to justify the title of this thread? Points 1) to 5) aren't even related to Germany/Hitler, and point 6) is about the 1st German Reich, not the 3rd Reich - long before Hitler was a thing.

I'm not even American, so I don't need to defend Trump, but I hope you realize that you only hurt your own credibility by twisting statements that have nothing to do with Hitler and make it about Nazi Germany when it's not. I'm German, I know quite a bunch about Hitler, and Trump ain't even remotely a Hitler-like figure.

Fake news. I am surprised someone hasn’t claimed he was the Antichrist. Or even satan himself.

Snopes:

"Context
Although the footage was indeed posted on Trump's Truth Social account, a spokesperson for the former U.S. President released a statement saying it was not a campaign video; it was created by a random account online and was reposted by a staffer who had not realized it contained a reference to the word "Reich."

Oh darn!!! Foiled again! :D

People have claimed various leaders were the antichrist for millennia. Can't remember the minister who basically said "Knock it off. No one will know the Antichrist until he's revealed." That was maybe around 300 AD, maybe before. And here we are in 2024 doing the same old thing.

And, of course, we have "Trump is Hitler." Odd it's never "Trump is Stalin" or "Trump is Mao." Somehow I don't think Hitler would have moved his nation's embassy to Jerusalem had Israel existed then. You know, like the US did during the Trump administration. Oh, the US was supposed to have done so before Trump, but somehow never got around to it. Funny thing, that.

What I hope people really mean is "Trump is a political strongman." I'd agree with that assessment. Such things have been known in history, including the US. But again, it's odd that it's always Hitler that springs to mind. What? Stalin gets a pass on Nazino? For Holodomor? 5.7 to 7 million people died in that one. The Purges? And Mao, the 40 to 80 million who died don't deserve a mention? We can't call a politician a Mao? It's as though Stalin and Mao are somehow excused. Surely that's not the intent. Surely their politics has nothing to do with that. Does it?

Not only does it not have anything to do with Hitler, but it likely came from a stock footage library. The same background has been used in other, unrelated videos.

There is a lot of false witnessing going around these days. Take care not to stand too close to these people. God hates liars.

Psalms 5:6 ISV
6 You will destroy those who speak lies. The LORD abhors the person of bloodshed and deceit.
