The Many Things That Are Wrong With That Trump-Gaza AI Video

On February 26th, President Trump posted a bizarre, AI-generated video showing the Gaza Strip turned into a luxurious touristic destination. In this Dubai-like setting, well-to-do people lay on the beach, money is literally flying around, and a gigantic golden statue of Trump towers at a roundabout.

Although it is not believed to have been made by the White House (it circulated a few days before Trump’s posts), the video contains some of the President’s humor, as some believe it was made to “troll the Liberals.”

However, on closer look, this video also appears to be trolling Trump’s own. Here are three demographics who helped Trump win in the past elections: 1) Evangelical Christians 2) Those who subscribe to his America First policies 3) Arab Americans who voted against the Democrats’ wokeness and ambivalence towards Israel.

That Trump-Gaza video almost went out of its way to annoy all three of them. Here are some of the top comments from Trump’s IG account.

It’s almost as if this video was made by anti-Trump people who tricked the Trump administration into reposting it without thoroughly reviewing it. Or they knew precisely what they were doing. In any case, it is a perplexing piece of media. One thing is for sure: destroying Gaza and rebuilding it for big money was planned way before Trump took office.

It Was the Plan All Along

In November 2023, I posted an article titled “The October 7th Attacks on Israel Were Allowed to Happen. Here’s Why,” in which I laid out numerous facts that current events keep confirming.

First, Israel knew very well that the Hamas’ October 7th attacks were going to happen – and they were allowed to happen. Why? Because it gave Israel the justification needed to finally engage in a long-awaited military operation to take complete control of Gaza. Why? Because that land is prime real estate. As laid out in the article, Gaza has massive money-making potential. For starters, the land and its seafront hold enormous oil and gas reserves. We’re talking about trillions of dollars.

Second, Gaza is strategically placed on the Mediterranean. Some believe it could be the site of the decades-old Ben Gurion Canal Project – an alternative to Egypt’s Suez Canal. Once again, big money + big geopolitical advantages.

Finally, as expressed by Trump on numerous occasions, Gaza sits on prime beachfront land that could be exploited for big tourist dollars.

Israel’s taking over of Gaza was planned before Trump was in power and would have happened no matter who was in power in the U.S. The only difference between the past and current President is that Trump is exceptionally open and enthusiastic about the project. As a former real estate developer, he may see the Gaza rebuilding as the project of a lifetime.

One thing is for certain: Israel made sure that Palestinians could not return to their Gaza homes after the war.

Israel did not merely target Hamas; it leveled Gaza entirely. They made sure that a complete rebuild was the only option possible. Behind closed doors, Israeli officials whispered about exploiting that land for tourism and resources. Then, Trump just came out and said it.

Then, he took it to another level by stating that the United States would be fully involved in the project. This statement surprised many as it opposed Trump’s America First policy, which aims to keep the United States’ involvement in foreign affairs to a minimum. While some might say it is an investment, it is primarily a humanitarian quagmire.

Then came this AI video that took things to another strange level: A Gaza riviera where golden statues of Trump are everywhere.

AI Slop? Or AI Slap?

The first noticeable thing about this video is that it is fully AI-generated. Considering that most people hate watching AI slop, the footage immediately irritates the viewers. Then, a terrible AI-generated song assaults our ears with lyrics saying:

“Trump-Gaza is finally here!”

On numerous occasions, the video makes it a point to place Trump’s name before Gaza. It’s odd and not necessary.

While these scenes seem positive, the video takes a bizarre turn.

Lots of people voted for Trump (including numerous Arab Americans) because they opposed the radical trans agenda. So why are there trans dancers on the Trump-Gaza beach? Those are the details that make me wonder if the video was created by people who actually wanted to troll Trump’s base.

Some believe those dancers are ex-Hamas soldiers, and that’s a way of humiliating them. I don’t know; seeing them dancing dressed as women would bring me 0% satisfaction and 100% annoyance. I honestly don’t know why this scene was added, as nobody really wants to see this.

With that being said, most of the video has a bizarre cult of personality dimension that manages to come close to idolatry.

This is where the video irked many religious people: This scene is reminiscent of the Bible’s Golden Calf story.

The golden calf is an idol that the Israelites worshipped in the Bible story from Exodus 32. The story is about the Israelites’ act of apostasy, or rejection of their faith in God. How the golden calf came to be:

1. Moses went up Mount Sinai to receive the Ten Commandments.

2. The Israelites waited for Moses to return, but he was delayed.

3. The Israelites asked Aaron to make them a god.

4. Aaron melted down the Israelites’ gold jewelry and made a golden calf.

5. Aaron told the Israelites to worship the calf instead of God.

The idolatry angle is pushed further in other scenes.

Along with the God-displeasing Golden Calf imagery, we see Trump engaging in activities that Melania probably wouldn’t approve of.

The video made it a point to associate this new Gaza with wealth, opulence, and even decadence.

If I were an advisor in the Trump administration, I’d have this recommendation: Get Elon out of the spotlight and reign him in. Bring him back behind the scenes, and let those elected by the people be on camera like, maybe, Vice President JD Vance?

The video ends with a scene nobody ever asked to see.

I realize this was meant to be funny. But Benjamin Netanyahu is the opposite of comedy, and that bromance thing is not a good look.

In Conclusion

This bizarre AI-video is, at best, in bad taste and, at worst, a terrible PR mistake. While the Trump administration is probably OK with trolling Liberals and insulting Palestinians, it should think twice about annoying its base. As seen above, most comments on social media (including Trump’s Truth Social) come from conservatives who disapprove of the message and the overall “energy” of this video.

The video not only involves America in rebuilding a nation but also bizarelly presents Gaza as a Trump-worshipping land with golden statues everywhere. And, in a place considered by Christians, Jews, and Muslims as Holy, Gaza is portrayed as a place of decadence where money falls from the sky and transexual bellydancers prance around on the beach.

In short, the video manages to annoy those who want the United States to focus on America first, religious people who take the Bible seriously, and people who hate AI slop. If this video was meant to troll people, who is it truly trolling?
