Donald Trump’s latest digital stunt is as grotesque as it is revealing. In a video shared on his Truth Social platform, the former U.S. president presents a surreal, AI-generated version of “Trump Gaza,” a glitzy, Americanized utopia featuring golden Trump statues, luxury yachts, and an AI-generated Elon Musk indulging in fondue. But this isn’t just another of Trump’s self-aggrandizing fantasies—it’s a deeply offensive spectacle that trivializes one of the most devastating conflicts of our time.
Christopher Bucktin in the Irish star had written:
“This isn’t just in poor taste, it’s downright abhorrent. Thousands of Palestinians have perished, families have been uprooted, and Israelis have lived through the terror of attacks.”
The video opens with stark images of war-armed militants, children amid rubble, before abruptly shifting to a dystopian fever dream where Gaza has been transformed into a personal branding exercise.
Towering Trump effigies, high-end apartments, and Teslas flood the landscape, all set to an unsettlingly upbeat anthem declaring, “Donald Trump will set you free… Trump Gaza is finally here.”
At best, this is a tone-deaf attempt at self-promotion. At worst, it is a callous dismissal of real human suffering. Thousands of Palestinians have lost their lives, Israeli families have been shattered by violence, and yet Trump sees only a chance to plaster his name across the ruins. The very idea that he envisions Gaza’s future in his own image—one of luxury and excess exposes the staggering depths of his narcissism.
His track record in the region speaks for itself. As president, Trump slashed aid to Palestinians, recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, and emboldened hardline policies that fueled tensions rather than eased them. Now, with this AI-generated delusion, he signals once again that peace, reconstruction, and human dignity mean nothing to him unless they serve his brand.
More disturbing still is what this says about his worldview. In Trump’s mind, war and destruction are just another stage for his personal mythology—a place where suffering is secondary to spectacle. The AI-generated video even includes a scene of Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lounging shirtless by a pool, as if the horrors of war were little more than an inconvenient backdrop to their fantasy of power.
This video isn’t just offensive, it’s dangerous. It reflects the mindset of a man who sees geopolitical crises as little more than opportunities for self-promotion. It is an insult to those mourning their dead, to those who have lost homes and loved ones, and to those who continue to fight for peace in a region scarred by violence.
With this video, Trump has once again shown the world who he truly is: a man for whom suffering is just another branding opportunity.
