Trump’s Gaza AI Video: A Deranged, Racist Fantasy That Even MAGA Hates
Buried beneath the AI-generated absurdity is a deeper, more insidious declaration: that genocide is profitable and that land can be ethnically cleansed and resold to the highest bidder.
You can tell a lot about a man by what he shares with the world.
Donald Trump, the twice-impeached, four-times-indicted former U.S. president, just posted a video that should be studied in universities—not as a political statement, but as a case study in pathological narcissism.
The AI-generated clip envisions a future Gaza not as a place of grief, not as a land soaked in the blood of more than 70,000 Palestinians, not as the ruins of a massacre—but as a gaudy casino playground for the ultra-rich, complete with golden statues of himself, a jubilant Benjamin Netanyahu sipping cocktails, and Elon Musk quite literally raining money onto children. It is the most grotesque, dystopian fever dream of colonialism ever rendered in pixels. And it tells us everything we need to know about Donald Trump.
A Genocidal Celebration in CGI
In this simulated “Trump Gaza,” there are no craters where families were once buried alive. No shattered hospitals, no mosques reduced to dust, no parents wailing over the corpses of their children. Instead, we see palm trees and private beaches, five-star hotels and extravagant parties. Belly dancers twirl under neon lights. Women lounge in bikinis. The only explosions are fireworks celebrating the so-called “liberation” of Gaza.
There’s Netanyahu, the butcher of this land, reclining on a yacht, the blood of thousands washed away by a CGI ocean. There’s Musk, the billionaire who masquerades as an innovator, flinging digital bills like a Roman emperor tossing coins to an arena of starving spectators. And then there’s Trump, grinning like a used-car salesman who just flipped a stolen vehicle.
For Trump, Gaza is not a scene of the horrific crimes of ethnic-cleansing and genocide, nor is it a place of mourning. It is an opportunity—a prime piece of real estate waiting to be flipped into a gaudy playground for the 0.1%.
And his followers? Well, even they are stunned.
Even MAGA Loyalists Are Revolted
For once, the backlash is not just from liberals, progressives, or anyone with a conscience. Even Trump’s most ardent supporters—his MAGA faithful, the ones who stuck by him through insurrections and indictments—are in disbelief.
Some see the video as tone-deaf, an unnecessary distraction when Trump should be focusing on his legal battles and running the country. Others, the hardcore isolationists, are furious at the implication that American resources would be used to rebuild Gaza at all—even if the plan is to transform it into a tax-free playground for billionaires.
And then there’s the religious right, the evangelicals who believe Gaza should be a battlefield for Armageddon, not a resort. Many of them are confused, even horrified, by the spectacle of bearded belly dancers, drag queens twirling alongside golden idols of Trump. Is this a mockery of Gaza’s piety? A cruel joke at the expense of its murdered civilians? Or just another example of Trump’s inability to see anything beyond his own reflection?
Whatever the reason, when even Trump’s most loyal followers are repulsed, we know that he has gone too far. But Trump, as always, does not care. He has never cared.
Trump’s Golden Idolatry
If there is a single recurring theme in Trump’s life—beyond fraud and failure—it is his obsession with himself and gold. Gold hotels. Gold elevators. Gold toilets. And now, golden statues of himself dotting the AI-rendered Gaza Strip, each one a shrine to his megalomania.
This isn’t new. Dictators and tyrants have long adored statues of themselves. Turkmenistan’s former dictator, Saparmurat Niyazov, famously built a 40-foot golden statue that rotated to face the sun. His successor, Gurbanguly Berdymukhamedov, one-upped him with a 69-foot statue of himself on a golden horse. Trump, the man who tried to buy Greenland and wanted to nuke hurricanes, is simply following in their footsteps.
The only difference is that his monument is digital—for now.
Orientalism as a Marketing Strategy
Scattered throughout the video are all the hallmarks of Western fantasies about the Middle East. Exoticism repackaged for the American imagination. The belly dancers, the golden minarets, the Arab men reduced to caricatures, their very existence reshaped into a spectacle for foreign consumption.
It is a scene ripped straight from the fever dreams of an empire that has always viewed Palestine not as a home for its people, but as a playground to be exploited for its profits.
And yet, buried beneath the absurdity, beneath the AI-generated debauchery, is a deeper and more insidious message. Trump’s fantasy is not just a grotesque parody of gentrification. It is a declaration that genocide is profitable. That a land can be ethnically cleansed and then resold to the highest bidder.
A Fascist Future, Dressed in Gold
There is something undeniably sinister about this video—not just in its content, but in its brazenness. Trump is not hiding his intentions. He is celebrating them.
This is not a campaign ad; this is an admission. A confession that, in his eyes, Palestinian suffering is as irrelevant as the right of Palestinians to dignity and freedom. That the mass graves of Gaza are mere inconveniences on the road to profit. That he, like every empire before him, sees genocide as nothing more than a prelude to gentrification.
And yet, perhaps the most horrifying thing about this video is not that Trump shared it. It is that millions of people will watch it and likely also fantasize of when they can visit this filthy fantasy land.
They will see the golden statues and not the mass graves. They will see the fireworks and not the phosphorous bombs. They will see the casinos and not the craters where children were incinerated in their sleep.
For them, the genocide of Gaza is already old news. A tragedy that has served its purpose. A moment in time to be bulldozed, paved over, and replaced with luxury apartments.
Trump, as always, is just the loudest voice saying the quiet part out loud.
"When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always."

Trump is a soulless demagogue. For him the untold human suffering epitomised in the blighted landscape of Gaza is nothing more than a slight inconvenience. His eyes are dazzled by the sight of dollar signs and his voice is that of a ghoul. This abomination of a video tells us all we need to know about his core essence.
As my darling grandmother would have said “hanging is too good for this one.”
