President Donald Trump is facing criticism on his Truth Social platform after sharing an AI-generated video depicting a transformed Gaza.

The video, which Trump shared without comment, shows Gaza as a luxurious resort with skyscrapers and yachts — a stark contrast to its war-torn state.

Video Depicts Luxurious Gaza Transformation

The caption for the footage is “Gaza 2025 … what’s next?”

It also features Trump sipping cocktails with a shirtless Benjamin Netanyahu, bearded belly dancers, and a towering statue of Trump overlooking the city. Elon Musk also appears in the video eating flatbread and dancing as money rains down.

The video aligns with Trump’s controversial “Riviera of the Middle East” plan for Gaza, which critics have labeled as a blueprint for ethnic cleansing. Trump has stated he wants to “clean out” Gaza’s population of about 2 million people and have the U.S. “own” the territory.

Truth Social Users Express Disappointment

Many Truth Social users expressed disappointment with the video. One user wrote, “I could not be a bigger supporter of President Trump but this particular video is in very poor taste. Very poor taste, indeed!”

The video particularly upset some of Trump’s Christian supporters. “Only one deserves the glory and the honor, Mr President,” one user commented. “The statue is a symbol of the antichrist, please humble yourself to God. Jesus is king and only Him.”

The origin of the video remains unclear, though it had been shared online previously by accounts unrelated to the White House.
