In a dazzling display of artificial intelligence, self-promotion, and complete detachment from reality, US President Donald Trump has unveiled his vision for the future of Gaza.
The AI-generated video, posted to his social media accounts, presents the war-ravaged enclave reimagined as a Middle Eastern Riviera, complete with skyscrapers, Teslas, and an obligatory golden statue of himself.
The video begins with sombre images of Gaza’s current devastation, the result of Israel’s military response to Hamas’ 7 October attack. But despair not—because Trump-Gaza is coming! The screen flashes forward to a fantastical transformation: pristine beaches, high-end shopping districts, and an economy apparently driven by yacht rentals and dance parties.
A man who bears an uncanny resemblance to Elon Musk is seen munching on bread (a subtle nod to the economic realities of 2025, perhaps), while bearded men in transparent skirts dance joyfully. Children gleefully hold golden orbs shaped like Trump’s head, and storefronts overflow with Trump-themed souvenirs. For those concerned about Gaza’s infrastructure, rest assured—there’s a Trump-Gaza skyscraper towering over it all.

The video’s star, naturally, is Trump himself. In one scene, he dances with a scantily clad woman in a nightclub, while Musk showers the crowd with money, because nothing says “economic revitalisation” like billionaires making it rain.
And then, the grand finale: a poolside moment featuring Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, lounging in swimming trunks, sipping cocktails, and basking in the glory of their imaginary real estate empire. A giant golden Trump statue stands nearby, keeping watch over this AI-generated paradise.
The soundtrack for this surreal masterpiece features an upbeat dance track with lyrics proclaiming: “Donald Trump will set you free, bringing life for all, no more tunnels, no more fear, ‘Trump-Gaza’ is finally here.” If the diplomatic approach doesn’t work, at least the jingle might catch on.
The video follows Trump’s recent remarks suggesting that the United States could simply “take control” of Gaza and “get the job done properly” by transforming it into a luxury destination. He has also floated the idea of relocating Gaza’s Palestinian population to neighbouring countries such as Egypt and Jordan, while Israeli officials have proposed resettling them in European nations that have recognised Palestinian statehood.
Reactions to the video have ranged from stunned silence to outright disbelief. Critics have called it “a fever dream” and “a real estate pitch gone rogue.” Israeli officials have yet to comment, possibly still recovering from the sight of Netanyahu in swimwear.
As Gaza remains in crisis, Trump’s AI-generated utopia raises important questions—chiefly, does he actually think this will happen, and if so, how much gold plating is too much? For now, the world watches as Trump-Gaza exists solely in the realm of AI, social media, and one man’s relentless branding ambitions.
