‘Bats**t Lunacy’: Trump Called Out After Posting Truly Bizarre ‘What’s Next’ Video

LOADINGERROR LOADING

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after posting a bizarre video showing a potential future for Gaza themed to himself.

Trump has said the United States would take “ownership” in Gaza, oversee its redevelopment, and transform it into “the Riviera of the Middle East.”

The seemingly AI-generated video, which Trump posted just before midnight on his Truth Social website, shows what that may look like if the redevelopment included a full Trump makeover.

The clip starts with the Gaza of today, in ruins.

“What’s next?” a caption asks as children step through a cave from the ruins and into a depiction of Gaza as a massive Trump-themed resort.

The video includes Elon Musk eating, bearded belly-dancers, a golden Trump head on a string, a giant golden Trump statue, “Trump Gaza” signs, and a shirtless Trump kicking back poolside with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is also shirtless, among other things:

Complete batshit lunacy on the president’s Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

While Trump often reposts images, videos and memes from his MAGA faithful, the video he shared late Tuesday wasn’t a repost, and it’s not clear who created it or why.

Given the content, it’s also not clear if this was truly in support of his plan for Gaza or someone trolling him.

Trump’s critics couldn’t believe what they were seeing:

This is just insane — and honestly? F*cking deplorable.

Is this a joke? Trans belly dancers, Elon eating hummus and chubby Trump and Netanyahu lounging on the beach together? Maybe someone pranked him like they did with the toe-sucking video yesterday. 😂

Two interesting freeze frames from that absurd AI Gaza video Trump just posted

Dear world: many many many of us are appalled and mortified and in despair over this. Please try to remember that.

There are shots of bearded women belly-dancing in this video. I think Trump’s been woke-punked, and if so, I’m here for it!

Trump just posted an AI video depicting the Gaza Strip as ‘Trump Gaza.’ Here are some screenshots.

This is deeply disgusting & disturbing but also really, really weird? Like, it’s very troll-y *towards* Trump & Elon. The only way I can imagine him sharing this is if he REALLY didn’t look at it closely.But it’s really there. I looked. I am bewildered but also nothing matters anymore anyway, so.

This is so disgusting. Shame on every enabler.

From the “Trump Gaza” AI hype video Trump just posted — shirtless Trump and Netanyahu sipping on drinks at an imagined resort, presumably in Gaza

I seem to remember a story about a golden ox.

I’m not sure what’s more disturbing, Trump’s plans to displace an entire people or his weird-ass vision of what a utopia ruled by him looks like.

Whoever described generative AI as the aesthetic of fascism made a sharp point.
