Donald Trump’s latest social media post about Gaza might be one of his strangest yet. Earlier this month, he shocked many by claiming he planned to “own” the Gaza Strip, suggesting U.S. control would bring stability to the region. Speaking alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on February 4, Trump described Gaza as a “demolition site” and asserted that the U.S. would take over, clear unexploded weapons, and develop the area to create jobs.
On February 26, he shared an AI-generated video on Truth Social depicting his vision for Gaza—complete with golden Trump statues, a Trump balloon, bearded belly dancers, and a figure resembling Elon Musk as dollar bills rained down. The bizarre visuals were paired with a pro-Trump song celebrating “Trump Gaza” as a golden future. The video, with its surreal imagery and awkward lyrics, left many viewers bewildered, reinforcing Trump’s reputation for eccentric online posts.
