Donald Trump is used to posting... well, whatever he wants on social media, but his latest post about Gaza is more than a touch odd.
Earlier this month, Donald Trump stunned the world when he revealed that he plans to ‘own’ the Gaza strip.
While this seemed to come a bit out of left field considering the ongoing conflict in the region, he added that his ownership would bring ‘stability’ to the area as well as other parts in the Middle East.
While joined by Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on February 4, Trump said: “The only reason the Palestinians want to go back to Gaza is they have no alternative, it’s right now a demolition site. This is just a demolition site. Virtually every building is down.”
Advert
Yeah... not entirely confident Trump understands the complexities of the politics, or the history in the region.
However, the president continued to make assertions about how much better the US would make this part of the Middle East.
He continued: “The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it, too.
"We’ll own it and be responsible for dismantling all of the dangerous unexploded bombs and other weapons on the site.
“If it’s necessary, we’ll do that, we’re going to take over that piece, we’re going to develop it, create thousands and thousands of jobs, and it’ll be something that the entire Middle East can be very proud of.”
Taking to his social media platform, Truth Social, on February 26, Trump gave his followers a look into what this vision could look like... using the power of artificial intelligence, oh goodie.
The visuals are about as weird as you might expect. It shows golden statues of Trump and a golden Trump balloon, and just a whole lot of gold, as well as bearded belly dancers and a Elon Musk lookalike walking as dollar bills fall from the sky.
The AI video comes with an embarrassingly awful pro-Trump song to match the bizarre visuals.
And in case you can’t bring yourself to unmute the video, here are the lyrics.
“Donald Trump is coming to set you free, bringing the light for all to see.
“No more tunnels, no more fear, Trump Gaza is finally here.
“Trump Gaza shining bright, golden future, a brand new light.
“Feast and dance the deal is done, Trump Gaza number one.
“Trump Gaza shining bright...” you get the point.
