Donald Trump has been known for carelessness on social media, especially when it comes to telling the truth. But a post he made, and later deleted, early Sunday on Truth Social may have been a new low.
The post consisted of a fake, likely AI-generated Fox News segment, featuring Trump talking about “new Medbed hospitals,” in which Trump touted “guarantees every American will soon receive their own Medbed card,” which will grant them “access to our new hospitals, led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world.” The facilities are “designed to restore every citizen to full health.”
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false “Medbed” conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. https://t.co/L1MBPIU4ON pic.twitter.com/wWBQPDFbnb

Within hours, Trump had deleted the video.
Trump deleted his bizarre post featuring an AI video of him endorsing “Medbeds,” which raises the question of whether he’s so confused that he thought it was a real video of him talking https://t.co/e2NUa4gnZj

“Medbed hospitals” are a conspiracy theory, pushed by some QAnon types, that the medical establishment is hiding futuristic technology that can cure diseases. It’s not clear why Trump would share a fake video of himself talking, one that does not even feature accurate Fox News chyrons.
“It is a modern manifestation of an older tradition of belief in quack doctors and miracle cures and is rooted in deep distrust of government and medical institutions,” CNN reported about the “Medbeds” theory.
The truth is, “Medbeds” are not real, and it appears they’re being pushed by grifters.
And here come the grifters to rob their followers fresh off Trump’s MedBeds post. Just the absolute worst people using false hope to scam people. pic.twitter.com/a9m0qz5qlO

This is not an actual thing. Medbeds is a conspiracy theory alleging that we have magic beds that can cure any disease. It’s obviously not true. pic.twitter.com/HFvvmVv2L7

Ok this is pretty funny.
The earliest place I can find this AI video posted is on a now-deleted Instagram page that uses a common fake name for fake doctors in romance scams- Dr. David Richard Simon.
Then the video can be found three days ago on a junk crypto Insta account. https://t.co/kiTcGfdpUb pic.twitter.com/3NnivJrtvL
