How Generative A.I. Complements the MAGA Style

In advance, and only once, let us recognize that everything on the Video “Trump Gaza” is crazy: the proposal on which it is based, to reinstall the inhabitants of the Gaza Strip and transform the area into a resort; Its content, which includes bearded belly dancers, an Elon Musk dancing dancing dancing on the beach and a gold statue of President Trump; And the fact that the president published it, without comment, on a website called Truth Social. Everything is absurd and horrible. This is probably the point, if a concept as obsolete as intention applies to the new genre of computerized irony that this video represents.

I doubt that anyone involved in their production and dissemination thinks that they describe a viable plan for the future. Nevertheless, he expresses the prospect of a certain subset of Americans – not how they imagine the Gaza of tomorrow, but how they understand the Internet of today. What we have here is the distilled aesthetic maga: political expression not as a way to persuade people or even transmit ideas but as a social and cultural posture.

There is also a song. Generated by AI in a style that I would call techno in flight, his words begin: “Donald came to free you / bring the light to see them / more problems, more fear / Trump Gaza is finally there.” This opening plays on photos of the street streets of the city, where masked warriors with assault rifles threatens alternately and take care of children while civilians squat in the rubble. Gaza 2025, the Superittles read. What is the next step?

The rubble remains, but at this stage, the misty sky clears up to reveal the construction cranes in the distance. A blow of soldiers passing through an arch cut to a woman and two children walking in the mouth of a cave to a beach. Modern skyscrapers fill the horizon, followed by a break of synchronized drum with a series of fast cuts: golden sands run by cerulean water, a mixed detail in the streets lined with late model teslas, more children run from another cave to another beach.

A man who looks like musk, only 20 years younger and better rested, eats houmous before another cup to belly dancers with big breasts, curved hips and full beards. This shocking sequence brings us to the chorus: “Trump Gaza, brilliant / Golden Future, a whole new light / party and dance, the act is done / Trump Gaza, n ° 1.”

Like the chorus the chorus, we enter the “after” part of the spot. A child descends a brilliant boulevard, holding a mylar ball in the shape of the president’s head. The president himself discusses a younger woman in a casino. The money falls from the sky. The aforementioned gold statue stands in the center of a busy roundabout, and Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drink cocktails with their shirts by a swimming pool. The whole thing is a privileged generating AI, it is a competent hacker, more competent on the technical level than what most people could produce, but also disturbed in the Patrick Bateman style, as if an automaton had decided what humans loved looking at thousands of advertisements – which is, of course, exactly what had happened.
