President Donald Trump shared a bizarre AI video to social media in which he’s seen promoting “med beds” — a far-right conspiracy involving a magical bed that can supposedly heal any sickness.

In a post to his Truth Social platform late Saturday night, Trump shared a phony, AI-generated Fox News clip — purportedly from Fox’s My View with Lara Trump — in which he’s seen rolling out this magic technology to hospitals nationwide. (UPDATE: Trump has now deleted the video.)

“Every American will soon receive their own medbed card,” AI Trump said. “With it, you’ll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world.”

AI Trump went on to specifically tout the magic healing power of these fictional med beds.

“These facilities are safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength,” AI Trump said. “This is the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”

For years, some on the extreme right have promoted the conspiracy theory that the U.S. military is in possession of technology — in the form of magic “med beds” — which can singlehandedly cure any disease and extend human life. The beds can supposedly even regrow missing limbs within minutes.

The conspiracy theory holds, however, that liberal billionaires were keeping the revolutionary beds from the public, and they would not be made widely available until Trump was back in office. Yet the promotion of these magic beds from Trump himself seems likely to breathe life into these conspiracy theories on some of the darker corners of the internet.

In a statement to Mediaite, a Fox News spokesperson made clear that the phony video did not air on the network.

“The video did not air on My View with Lara Trump on Fox News Channel or any other Fox News Media platforms,” the spokesperson said.
