Donald Trump, who recently said that he wanted to "take over" Gaza, posted an Artificial Intelligence video on Truth Social, highlighting his aspirations for the city.
The US President, known for his flamboyant lifestyle, apparently wants to see Gaza have busy markets, beaches, strip clubs and also a big golden statue of Trump himself.
The video has two parts - first it shows children and people of Gaza struggling amid ruins and guns owing to the war, and the second part portrays the kids entering a whole new world of 'Trump Gaza'.
The clip also features Elon Musk having a good time while showering cash on a beach, followed by Trump dancing in a strip club, and ends with the US President along with Benjamin Netanyahu relaxing by a pool side.
The AI-driven video also has some other interesting aspects like bearded belly dancers, a child holding a Trump balloon, a building having 'Trump Gaza' board, a skyscraper among other things.
Trump first publicly raised the idea in early February when he declared that “the US will take over the Gaza Strip.” With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel by his side during a White House visit, Trump said the United States would “own it and be responsible” for disposing of unexploded munitions and rebuilding Gaza into a mecca for jobs and tourism, pledging that it would become “the Riviera of the Middle East.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, said soon after that any relocation would be temporary. But Trump followed up with a social media posting suggesting again that Palestinians would be relocated into communities where they would be “happy, safe, and free.”
Trump’s suggestion was met with astonishment and outrage across the Arab world. His aides then reframed it as a challenge to leaders of the Middle East to come up with a better alternative, even as Trump continued to insist he could convince the two countries to accept Palestinians.
