Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : The video included hypothetical news articles that could be expected should Trump win reelection this coming November, with a narrator asking "What happens after Donald Rump wins?"Among the smaller headlines was "INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED DRIVEN BY THE CREATION OF A UNIFIED REICH," while it may have been a reference to the 1871 unification of Germany at the end of the Franco-Prussian War, and the establishment of the so-called "Second Reich" -- with historians agreeing that the "First Reich" was the Holy Roman Empire that controlled much of modern-day Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and other lands in Europe.
24% : The 30-second clip had been posted on Monday afternoon but was pulled on Tuesday, after President Joe Biden's campaign and others suggested Trump was "parroting 'Mein Kampf,'" Nazi leader Adolf Hitler's manifesto that he wrote while imprisoned after his failed coup d'état in November 1923.

17% : The Biden campaign certainly used news of the video's release to remind voters that Trump has previously employed terminology that earned comparisons to the Nazis, notably suggesting undocumented immigrants have been "poisoning the blood of our country.
