President Trump shares seemingly AI video amplifying ‘medbed’ conspiracy theory
On Saturday, President Donald Trump shared a seemingly artificial-intelligence-created video which promotes a currently unannounced, and once-conspiracy-theory, medical technology. In the post on Truth Social, Trump shared a video that looks like it’s from Fox News’ “My View with Lara Trump” where she announces breaking news that the president has announced a new “healthcare system” with the launch of America’s first “MedBed hospitals.” In the video, the president is seen announcing the technology from the Oval Office. MedBeds conspiracies date back to 2022 and are shared among far-right communities online. The beds can theoretically cure all disease and de-age people, and some even claim they can regrow limbs. The conspiracy goes on to explain that the reason the general public doesn’t have access to these beds is because of liberal billionaires. There is no proof that Trump ever made those remarks from the Oval Office or that Lara Trump ever made that announcement on air. Information about MedBeds has not been released on the White House’s website or any other official channels other than the president’s Truth Social account. KSBW has reached out to the White House for clarification. In the video, the seemingly fake video of the president announcing the program says that a limited number of “MedBed cards will be released,” and registration details will be announced soon. But a search for “MedBed Cards” found a website selling you the cards. The card shown in the video and the card on medbedcard.com look similar. For $447, someone can buy a single card. In FAQs listed at the bottom of the website, the card promises the following benefits, none of which actually include a MedBed or access to a MedBed: “The MedBed Card is made of metal and personalized with your name. With it, you receive:Exclusive information about terahertz technology — you’ll be among the first to know.Up to 70% discounts on all our products as a member.Personalized offers delivered directly to your email.ℹ️ The MedBed Card has no other function or meaning beyond the benefits listed above.”A search of the internet archives found no history of the website before Saturday.
