Donald Trump is not any stranger to outlandish conspiracies or unusual social media posts. However, by any measure, his submit on Saturday evening was significantly weird. The president posted (and later eliminated) a clip on Fact Social of a Fox Information section with Lara Trump detailing the White Home’s announcement of the world’s first MedBed hospital and a nationwide MedBed card system (two issues that very a lot don’t exist). There was no extra context, no textual content to elucidate issues. Complicated issues extra, the video seems to be utterly AI generated, together with Trump himself discussing this system within the Oval Workplace. (Maybe one of many largest giveaways being the president’s skill to remain on script.)
MedBeds, for those who are inclined to keep away from the extra QANON-y corners of the web, are an imaginary medical gadget that may do the whole lot from deal with bronchial asthma, to regrow lacking limbs, to remedy most cancers. The fantasy of an all-in-one gadget that may remedy all of your ills has apparent enchantment, however perception that these are actual merchandise being saved from the American public by Huge Pharma has grown amongst conspiracy theorists in recent times.
Lots of the presidents followers acknowledged that the video was AI-generated, however nonetheless appeared to consider that Trump was confirming the existence of MedBeds. Regardless of the objective of the submit was, we might by no means know. The president often sends issues out into the ether and by no means explains himself. And now that the video has been eliminated the White Home will seemingly attempt to fake the entire incident away.
