• An AI-generated video reposted by Trump regarding the future of presents a grotesque, garish vision featuring Trump hotels, golden statues, and lavish resorts.
• This depiction has caused much outrage and starkly contrasts with the ongoing genocide and displacement of Palestinians under Israeli occupation.
A 35-second AI-generated video, shared on Trump’s Truth Social account, opens with the question, “Gaza 2025: What’s Next?” It features bold, garish imagery, including a Trump hotel, a giant golden statue of Trump, and a child holding a Trump balloon amidst ostentatious beachfront resorts. The video further depicts Musk tossing money to visitors and children, while Trump dances with a belly dancer and enjoys cocktails with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The video depicts a ‘future Gaza strip’ with nightclubs, casinos and dancing transvestites. This grotesque portrayal starkly contrasts with the dire reality of the Palestinian people, who are enduring violence, displacement, and deprivation at the hands of the brutal Israeli regime.
The video has sparked outrage online, with many branding it as ‘absolutely horrifying’ and ‘filth on a world stage’. Some argue that it is now time to take Trump’s plan for Gaza seriously, but the overwhelming consensus is that it represents a staggering disregard to the ethnic cleaning currently taking place in Gaza. Trump’s vision reduces a live genocide to a tasteless spectacle, diminishing the gravity of Israel’s violations of international law.
The White House responded to the backlash in a statement: ‘As President Trump has said, Gaza in its current state is unhabitable for any human being’.
Many analysts online have referred to the video as a brilliant work of satire that adeptly captures Trump’s essence. ‘The irony is that Trump was foolish enough to repost and pin it to his page’, one asserted on an LBC phone-in. Nonetheless, Trump’s decision to repost this video is truly nauseating, demonstrating a blatant disregard for Palestinian life.
