Donald Trump isn’t any stranger to outlandish conspiracies or strange social media posts. However, by any measure, his put up on Saturday night time was significantly weird. The president posted (and later eliminated) a clip on Reality 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 clarify 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 potential to remain on script.)
MedBeds, for those who are likely to keep away from the extra QANON-y corners of the web, are an imaginary medical machine 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 machine that may remedy all of your ills has apparent attraction, however perception that these are actual merchandise being stored from the American public by Massive Pharma has grown amongst conspiracy theorists in recent times.
Most of the presidents followers acknowledged that the video was AI-generated, however nonetheless appeared to imagine that Trump was confirming the existence of MedBeds. Regardless of the objective of the put up was, we might by no means know. The president regularly sends issues out into the ether and by no means explains himself. And now that the video has been eliminated the White Home will probably attempt to faux the entire incident away.
