Donald Trump has been talking for several weeks about a supposed plan for a U.S. “takeover” of the Gaza Strip, one which would entail transfers (i.e., ethnic cleansing) of the war-torn territory’s existing Palestinian population of more than 2 million.
Late on Tuesday night, Trump posted an AI-generated video to his Truth Social account, purporting to show what “Trump Gaza” would look like. Among the sites in it is a golden balloon of Trump’s head, a gold statue of Trump, construction of what looks like beachfront hotels, and — most bizarrely of all — one image of hula dancers, in which it appears they have the bodies of bikini-clad women and the heads of bearded men.
We also see Elon Musk eating what appears to be a pita and hummus before later throwing money in the air, and Trump sitting poolside with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Both men are shirtless, and the teetotaling president appears to be drinking a beer.
“Donald’s coming to set you free,” the song over the 30-second video says. “Trump Gaza shining bright. Golden future, a brand-new light. Feast and dance. The deed is done.” It’s not clear if the song is itself AI-generated or not.

Per CNN, the Gaza takeover plan has been roundly rejected by the Arab world, with the Palestinian Authority proclaiming it a “serious violation of international law,” and Egypt and Jordan rejecting the notion of taking in Palestinian refugees. Israel’s government, however, has been more receptive to the idea, even as it appears highly unworkable.
The reactions to the video were somewhat shocked:
Trump’s video of “Trump Gaza” features trans Hamas belly dancers, a golden Trump balloon, a golden Trump statue, Trump perving on a belly dancer, Musk throwing money at kids, and Trump and Netanyahu on sun loungers. It’s honestly one of the most unhinged things I’ve ever seen https://t.co/t52OmG4HPd pic.twitter.com/sq5SHcE2fv

Trump has posted a sinister AI video of his future for ‘Riviera’ Gaza.
It needs to be seen to be believed:
Trump statues; Musk dancing; Trump & Netanyahu sun bathing & drinking cocktails.
Monsters rejoicing in their genocide & ethnic cleansing.
It is truly racist fascism. pic.twitter.com/OJhRyqz8Ob
