What happened in April of 1988?
It was a wink to the far right brigade for sure. Then they play the ooops it was an error.
Pull the other one Trumpers
Uh .... no. Not at all. Empire, Kingdom and Realm are certainly NOT synonymous with nation.It means "empire" or "kingdom" or "Realm" ... basically the same use as "nation".
Ah, but it does not mean nation. Realm and kingdom are not in any sense synonymous with nation. Reich is filled with the concept of rulership.
So, ummmm, the far left doesn't think he meant RIGHT?Freudian slip or Fuher slip? How stupid can any candidate for any office use the word "Reich"? He is the world's most dangerous man.

Trump knew what he was doing, it a dog whistle for his Nazi supporters, trying to get them to the polls.Freudian slip or Fuher slip? How stupid can any candidate for any office use the word "Reich"? He is the world's most dangerous man.

FAIL! Having some fractional overlap on a Venn Diagram does not make them synonymous.
Far from it.
TDS is a mental illness that causes some mentally vulnerable people to think that this guy...In case you never learned of the correct meaning of the term TDS.
You've been around long enough to know that.
What does TDS mean?
TDS is an acronym for Trump Derangement Syndrome, a term applied to people who express deep loathing and fear of President Donald Trump. It’s usually used by Trump supporters for liberals.
You're right. Trump is not presidential material.TDS is a mental illness that causes some mentally vulnerable people to think that this guy...

...is Presidential material.
But isn't it odd how often nazi-adjacent language, flags, signs, etc. keep popping up in the Trump sphere? How Trump "accidentally" ended up having dinner with an avowed white supremacist? How people close to him keep having to resign when their past association with white supremacy or nazi-sympathies are exposed? How Trump uses language practically taken directly from Hitler himself (e.g., "poisoning the blood." "Vermin.")? How he called white supremacists "fine people"?I hate Trump, but he never said the word.
I think a staffer shared a video in which the word reich briefly appeared in tiny letters near the bottom and Trump retweeted.
I wouldn't normally give Trump a pass, but I think this is nothing sinister at all.
Biden is old. And sane. And decent. And responsible.You're right. Trump is not presidential material.
But I still believe he can do better than Biden for the country.
But I won't vote for him.
I'd rather vote for Nikki Haley.
Trump is still the better of the two evils which we a doomed to support.
Uh ... could it be because Biden is not a crypto-fascist??But isn't it odd how often nazi-adjacent language, flags, signs, etc. keep popping up in the Trump sphere?
Why haven't similar references appeared in Biden's campaign?
If only such sensibility and reasonability would spread more in those left of center. <sigh>I hate Trump, but he never said the word.

Since when do such realities matter to the left when there's a politically motivated push narrative which needs to be furthered and fauxrage needs to be ginned up?Not much of a wink since it couldn't be seen unless you paused the video, zoomed in and squinted.
Why not give him a pass here? There’s plenty of other evidence of Trump’s fascist tendencies.So, is it finally okay to compare Trump directly to Hitler?
Sorry but I am not buying the "it was an accidental post by some outside person" crap.
Two words. Dog. Whistle.Strange. How is this a reference to Nazis, when the "headline" is discussing a German industrial surge in 1871?

Well, you said "the 4/88 campaign," so I'm assuming you were referencing one of the military operations on this list.
