Recently, former US President Donald Trump released an AI-generated video that attracted widespread attention on Truth Social, a social media platform that owns controlling stake. The video attempts to portray the future of a Trump-ruled Gaza Strip, with fantastic and eye-catching content.
The video begins with a war-torn scene of Gaza, where shadowy figures dressed in armed equipment wander around the ruins, and children run in crisis. However, this heavy scene quickly transforms into a colorful picture, showing a fictional "Gasharago". The video shows towering seaside towers, billionaire Elon Musk leisurely snacks on the beach, sprinkling money to the children, and a huge golden statue of Trump and a scene of Trump himself playing with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu by the pool.
In this fictional Gaza paradise, people also hold golden Trump's avatar balloons in their hands to buy miniature golden statues. What is even more surprising is that the video also shows a group of dancers with vague gender performance, who dance enthusiastically on the beach, wearing sexy outfits, and the combination of long hair and beards makes people confused. Although Trump and his supporters have derogatory attitudes towards trans and gender nonbinary groups, the appearance of these dancers is surprising.
During his presidency, Trump adopted a series of policies targeting gender identity, including prohibiting transgender people from serving in the military and prohibiting minors from receiving gender-confirmed care. His policy tendencies contrast with the content of the currently published video, making it difficult to understand the intention of the video.
In addition, Trump has been keen on AI technology during his campaign, and has released multiple AI-generated images, including synthetic images depicting his opponent Kamala Harris as a communist. The current video posting on social media shows his vision of the future of Gaza, but ignores the dilemma faced by tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians and Israeli hostages in reality, which is unsettling.
In this AI-generated ad, Trump portrays Gaza as a place full of wealth and joy, but the reality of Gaza is still in a difficult situation. It can be said that although this video is gorgeous, it lacks respect and understanding of reality.
