"The president posted (and later removed) a clip on Truth Social of a Fox News segment with Lara Trump detailing the White House's announcement of the world's first MedBed hospital and a national MedBed card system (two things that very much do not exist). There was no additional context, no text to explain things. Confusing matters more, the video appears to be completely AI generated, including Trump himself discussing the program in the Oval Office."
"MedBeds, for those that tend to avoid the more QANON-y corners of the internet, are an imaginary medical device that can do everything from treat asthma, to regrow missing limbs, to cure cancer. The fantasy of an all-in-one device that can cure all your ills has obvious appeal, but belief that these are real products being kept from the American public by Big Pharma has grown among conspiracy theorists in recent years."
Donald Trump posted and later removed a clip on Truth Social showing a Fox News segment with Lara Trump presenting a White House announcement of the world's first MedBed hospital and a national MedBed card system, neither of which exist. The clip lacked explanatory text and appears to be entirely AI-generated, including footage of Trump speaking in the Oval Office. MedBeds are fictional devices claimed to cure everything from asthma to cancer and regrow limbs, and belief in suppressed MedBed technology has grown among conspiracy theorists. Many followers noted the AI but still treated the post as confirmation of MedBeds.
