Video at link. Turns out that the headline was from an old newspaper article that predated Hitler and NAZI-ism. It turns out the term "Reich" actually has a history of usage that predates the NAZI's. Wow, who could have imagined that? /s

The Democrats, the Left and their Media are trying to paint President Trump as “literally Hitler”, in order to give the “green light” to one or more of their unbalanced and violent cult members.

“Reich” (kingdom, realm or state) was applied to the Holy Roman Empire (800-1806). The term was revived in 1871 when 25 German states united to form the German Empire (Deutsches Reich). After the monarchy was overthrown, the Weimar Republic continued to call itself the Deutsches Reich. And after WWII, the East Germans kept the term alive by calling their state railroad the Reichsbahn.

An even more fundamental objection to the Left’s idiocy than the ones that people have cited is that America - as far as I know - has never been called a “Reich” by anyone, and talk of a “unified Reich” makes no sense whatsoever in an American political context.

It’s really good to see reporters doing the research.

I’ve reposted the X video to dozens of friends, and some “almost” friends.
