"Over the weekend on his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump shared (then quickly deleted) a seemingly AI-generated video that included a deep-fake version of himself promoting a nonexistent product related to the broader QAnon conspiracy theory. The video, which purported itself to be a Fox News segment hosted by Trump's daughter-in-law Lara Trump, featured a product called a "MedBed" - fictional health care technology that supposedly heals the ailments of any individual who lays in it."
"In his Truth Social post, the deep-fake version of Trump says he is giving every American "guaranteed access" to the "advanced technology" and to MedBed hospitals, which do not exist. By doing so, the fake Trump in the video says, he will "restore every citizen to full health and strength." The video further alleges that more information on how to register for MedBed cards will be coming soon. Websites for MedBed cards do exist, but they are money-making scams meant to deceive people who believe the conspiracy theory."
A deep-fake video shared on Truth Social featured a fabricated version of Donald Trump promoting a fictional "MedBed" health device tied to QAnon lore. The purported device allegedly heals ailments, reverses aging, and can regrow limbs, with conspiracists claiming limited access for the wealthy. The fake video promised guaranteed public access and nonexistent MedBed hospitals. Fraudulent websites sell MedBed registration cards as money-making scams aimed at believers. The reason for sharing the video is unclear, though the president has a history of frequently sharing news reports and social posts.
