Has anyone seen the Trump Gaza AI video from Truth Social and wondered if they have woken up in a parallel universe?

It's just insane. Gold statues of Trump. Dollar bills raining down on kids on a beach. AI Elon Musk hanging out at the beach. And HE posted it on Truth Social so I can't hold on to the belief that it's just satire.

Speechless.

I genuinely assumed someone had hacked Trumps account and posted it as a joke.

Plenty of people are worried about Palestine, thank goodness.

Made all the difference, hasn't it ?

Filthy filthy man.

He wants war. He’s a 78 year old maniac and I have no words to express my disgust at that video.

Nigel Farage - who wants your vote - is a staunch supporter of Donald Trump.

Just out that out there.

@DuncinToffee ,

‘What are you struggling with most, the golden statue or the bearded belly dancers?’

Neither actually, they are actually quite funny.

I am struggling with how the Saudis, Egyptians and Jordanians will deal with him sunbathing next to Netanyahu.

And I am struggling with the whole ‘Trump Gaza’ as a pun on ‘Trump Plaza’. There are laws against conflicts of up interest and he is shoving this one right under lawmakers’ noses.

What makes you think that Trump cares about the law?

I’m still struggling to believe it is real (as in fully authorised and posted by him personally). And, if it is, I struggle to see him not having to take it down and apologise.

Of course, he may try to claim it is only ‘bantz’ but I think he won’t get away with it that easily.

Aside from the extreme provocation to the Arab world, many of whom he is trying to befriend, there is a clear conflict of interests between his job as president and his commercial interests.

A lot of Republicans in congress will be struggling with this, I think.

I don't think he'll apologise. The recent movie on him shows his motivations.

I'm sure it's approved, although I would have thought he'd improve that lounger pic

I mean it's reaction fodder, people across the world talking about it.

VisitationRights · 26/02/2025 13:46

It is so batshit it is both hilarious and terrifying. The only reason I don’t think it was authorised is because he has such a big ego I can’t imagine him posting something that makes him look so fat on the lounger. I can fully believe that this is part of his vision for Gaza, gold statues and all. He is so close to going full dictator.

Trump is just trolling and a lot of people are falling for it.

Which sane president trolls like that? Imagine how you would feel if you were Palestinian? Fucking trolling, as if that makes it ok.

MrsBennetsPoorNerves · 26/02/2025 13:54

There isn't really much left to say, is there?

It really feels as if we're living in some sort of grim satire.

Every day seems to bring fresh horror. Who knows what tomorrow is going to bring?

What does "falling for it" even mean in this context?

I don't think I'm "falling for" anything, I'm simply observing the incredible crassness and insensitivity of a narcissistic man with a massively over-inflated ego.

Loads of Americans fell for it so hard they elected him to be POTUS.🙈 It's spooking his evangelical Christian voters.😬

WhatTheKey · 26/02/2025 13:57

It feels like one day soon, Damien Hirst will come out with a documentary that explains how he took one of the most unlikeable men in the US and manipulated the media to give him one of the most powerful jobs in the world, and that this is all some bonkers genius art project.

So the US president is now a bloody 13year old edgelord?
I mean it fits with Elon and his bunch of interns meddling around with taxpayer data. Maybe one of them posted the video.

Acommonreader · 26/02/2025 14:03

It’s absolutely wild. My 12 year old thought it was a joke meme and cannot believe that an actual grown up and a president at that , has endorsed this!

He doesn't care. What they gonna do ?

If anyone was going to do anything, they would have by now.

Remember he said before the election he only needed your vote "one more time". ? As with so many other things coming to pass, that was merely a statement of truth.

ssd · 26/02/2025 14:04

I think I'll need to stop watching the news for 4 years, this is going to drive me insane

Hypercatalectic · 26/02/2025 14:05

While we are all looking at this video and talking about it, Elon is doing his thing in the federal government departments, and Zelenskyy is signing a deal that isn't quite as favourable to the US as Trump wanted and ties the US into Ukraine's future...

I honestly think this is one of those 'flooding the zone' distractions. An appalling one, but that's why he's posted it. He will laugh it off as a joke, meanwhile a deal will have gone through, or an order will have been passed and it will have been drowned out...

Mrsbloggz · 26/02/2025 14:07

Wild! He's escalating exponentially, could he be manic? He's going to be god of the whole universe next.
Look what happened to smeagle when he obtained the ring of absolute power, we will soon see trump turning into gollum.

Arayofcalm · 26/02/2025 14:09

Golden trump statue... Golden calf.. Is this hinting at something more sinister?

You are a few years behind the curve there.

CreationNat1on · 26/02/2025 14:12

I think Elon created this, Elon is clothed, and looks suave. He is eating and spreading money about. Trump is semi naked in one scene, ogling a woman in what looks like a casino in another.

Its horrendous, the people of gaza are starving, grieving, homeless and most of them are Muslim. It's obscenely offensive. Then again, so is the Natzi salute.

The gold statue on the graveyard of the displaced people.

The president making and posting a super offensive video?
I would think so. It would be all over the newspapers where I'm from.

Hasn't bothered the BBC yet, I notice.

SerendipityJane · 26/02/2025 14:15

Of course there was the video of Trump sucking Elons toes posted in Washington DC Monday.

(Weird feeling to be able to post Daily Mail links ...)

Also unreported on the BBC, incidentally.

So you'd be just as sanguine if Keir Starmer did the same thing? Or any other elected leader ...but you're prepared to dismiss it as 'just Trump trolling'? War has never felt so close...it's a very scary time and I'm not ;laughing at his antics.

There was this reported though 👀

Apple AI tool transcribed the word 'racist' as 'Trump'
