Trump posts, then pulls bizarre AI video promoting MedBed conspiracy
Source: The Verge
Donald Trump is no stranger to outlandish conspiracies or strange social media posts. But, by any measure, his post on Saturday night was particularly bizarre. The president posted (and later removed) a clip on Truth Social of a Fox News segment with Lara Trump detailing the White Houses announcement of the worlds 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. (Perhaps one of the biggest giveaways being the presidents ability to stay on script.)
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.

Bluesky post showing what Trump posted. I'm guessing the demented wannabe dictator thought this was real.
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

That said p, that song aptly describes the orange turds mental state now !

(18,076 posts)It is also a collection of scams! Of course it is.
Medbeds hit the MSM in 2022, and many of those articles also covered the scam angle. There was a cottage industry of fraudsters making money off the gullible and desperate with empty promises resting on this premise they had heard from RWNJ CT circles. Trump featured heavily into those CTs, as the hero, naturally.
But the medbed thing predated the MSM awareness of them. One can still find posts yammering about medbeds on Elon's hellsite from the summer of 2020; unsurprisingly many of those posts bear the signals of a troll farm (poor syntax, Cyrillic letters, images stolen from known films/TV).

OK, sure, a recent movie may have inspired some CT-crazy Qanoner, but the idea has a long history behind iit.
