Jimmy Kimmel is not buying in to Donald Trump‘s plan to transform war-torn Gaza into the next Mar-a-Lago. On Jimmy Kimmel Live, the late-night host showcased the president’s grotesque AI video that imagines a gold-adorned “Trump Gaza,” noting that “even Kim Jong Un is like, ‘That’s a little much.’”
“That video, it’s a perfect example of who Donald Trump is,” Kimmel said. “He doesn’t think about the death or the suffering. He doesn’t care about the people who have been killed or held hostage or who don’t have homes. What does he care about? Building hotels on that property. There is no problem that can’t easily be solved with a real estate development named after him. The worst part is he thinks that looks like fun. He thinks it looks great. It’s like a cruise ship crashed into Saddam Hussein’s house.”
Showing some of the unhinged stills from the video, Kimmel added, “Who would even want to go to a place like this? I mean, traffic’s a nightmare. You have to drive around these big dumb statues. Everybody’s walking around with balloons like they’re the clowns from It. Nightclubs are full of lecherous old Americans groping belly dancers with their webbed frog hands. You’ve got Elon shoveling hummus into his face.”
He added, “With that said, I did like the music. It was kind of catchy.”
Earlier this week, Trump shared the AI-generated video on Truth Social. It was immediately met with criticism as the region has been destroyed by war and millions of people have been displaced from their homes, not to mention the tens of thousands who have been killed.
Last month, the president floated the idea of forcibly relocating Palestinians to “clean out” the region. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing. I don’t know. Something has to happen, but it’s literally a demolition site right now,” Trump told reporters. “So, I’d rather get involved with some of the Arab nations, and build housing in a different location, where they can maybe live in peace for a change.”
He previously said outright, during a joint press conference with Netanyahu, that the “U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip.” “We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal,” Trump said. “I don’t want to be cute, I don’t want to be a wise guy, but the Riviera of the Middle East. This could be something that could be so magnificent.”
