Trump Gaza

Donald Trump has allegedly released an AI generated video of Gaza in the future which is so bizarre I think it must be a spoof/hoax.

The more I look at that video the more convinced I am it’s a spoof.

It’s got all the ingredients - the giant gold statue of the man himself, the boy with the Trump balloon the Trump Gaza hotel and Trump and Netanyahu sitting side by side on sun loungers in swimming trunks.
The bizarre bearded ‘women’ is surely the last thing Trump would endorse if he had been involved !

Someone is mocking him here.

If his genuine plan for Gaza somehow comes to fruition, a proper, professionally produced video would be on show which would be nothing like this effort.

The jingly amateurish soundtrack is exactly like something Alan Sugar’s apprentices would come up with in his tv show!

Of course Donald Trump had the US version, didn’t he?!

I think you are missing the point.

It doesn’t matter whether it is a spoof or not.

The insult has been delivered to the correct audience. The damage has been done.

Well if he thinks he's a new Nebuchadnezzar Trump should remember how that panned out.
I was told only an hour ago that a friend of mine in Chicago had seen the statue.

Well seeing as the video was posted by Trump I feel it is far from a spoof but a vision of what Gaza could be in Trumps surreal mind. As for the bearded men dancing, in many parts of the ME the clerics and Islamist extremists are referred to as ‘the bearded men’, so surely a crude attempt to demoralise them in the video.
Could be wrong but otherwise it makes no sense.

Suspending reality here 🤪
If I was Trump and commissioned that amateur rubbish, I wouldn’t be paying them.
I have grandchildren who could have done a better job.

Link to the video.
The report states it's thought to have started circulating in early February, so not confirmed that it originated from the White House.
It's deeply offensive on many levels.

Who know’s? It includes a giant gold statue of guess who? Trump, of course.

I bet he stole that toilet!

We did think it must have been melted down and turned into something else!

Full of sh*t just like Trump (sorry).

The bearded dancers are wearing hamas headbands, if it demoralises them I’m all for it!
It’s an AI put together spoof.

Much as I dislike this video, as there are no other proposals for the Gaza site, (as far as I know) Trump’s plan is the only one on the table.

You refer to “this Gaza site”. Isn’t it rather “this Palestinian territory”?

I can't find the link now but I read on one of the fact checking sites that this was a video released as a satirical sendup aftert the statement that Trump made that he could use the Gaza Strip as a leisure playground to stop the war. Trump either thought it very funny so he posted it or he didn't get that it was satirical. As he hasn't made a comment with the posting of the video, we don't yet know.

I know we have to expect the unexpected from Trump but the video is just so weird and, well, amateurish that I am hesitating to believe it’s meant to be taken seriously.

Bearded belly dancers, a huge gold statue of Trump, and Musk and Netanyahu feature too.

I understand he didn't look at it properly and just retweeted it. It's been taken down.
