President Donald Trump briefly shared and later deleted an AI-generated video promoting the baseless “medbed” conspiracy theory, sparking widespread confusion and criticism online.

In a surreal twist even by modern political standards, President Donald Trump shocked supporters and critics alike after posting — and then quietly deleting — an AI-generated video of himself promising Americans access to “miracle medbeds,” a fictional medical technology long associated with internet conspiracy theories.

The 79-year-old president shared the strange clip on Truth Social over the weekend, leaving many wondering whether it was an intentional move, a digital misfire, or a glimpse into the unfiltered world of Trump’s late-night imagination.

The video appeared to be a fully fabricated news segment, complete with a faux Fox News-style intro hosted by Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump.

In the AI-generated broadcast, Trump’s likeness spoke directly to camera, making a sweeping promise that sounded like something from a futuristic science fiction movie.

“Every American will soon receive their own medbed card,” the synthetic version of the president proclaimed, his voice eerily precise.

“With it, you’ll have guaranteed access to new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world.”

The fictional Trump went further, assuring viewers that the supposed facilities would be “safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength.” A bold banner flashed across the screen, reading “Medbed Hospitals: The New Era in Healthcare.”

To those unfamiliar with the medbed mythos, the promise might have sounded like a typical campaign pitch. But for those attuned to the internet’s stranger corners, it was a clear nod to a popular conspiracy theory.

In online circles — particularly within the remnants of the QAnon movement — “medbeds” are said to be miraculous, top-secret devices capable of curing diseases, regenerating limbs, reversing aging, and even resurrecting the dead.

Believers claim that these beds, supposedly powered by “alien technology,” are being withheld from the public by shadowy elites and the so-called “deep state.”

Trump’s video, which ran on his page for roughly 12 hours before disappearing without explanation, immediately ignited a firestorm of speculation.

Some supporters shared it as hopeful proof of futuristic healthcare reform. Others, more skeptical, were quick to note the obvious digital manipulation and the unmistakable air of unreality.

“It looked like one of those AI prank videos you see online — the mouth movements were off, the lighting was strange, and his voice didn’t sound quite human,” said one viewer who caught the clip before it vanished.

“If this was real, it’s either the greatest medical announcement ever or the weirdest campaign glitch in history.”

The deletion only deepened the mystery. Trump, known for rarely walking back his posts, offered no public clarification. “He hasn’t said a word about it,” one insider remarked. “It’s like it never happened — which, in his mind, maybe it didn’t.”

Fox News swiftly distanced itself from the video, confirming that no such segment ever aired.

Lara Trump, who recently joined the Republican National Committee, also declined to comment. Meanwhile, the White House stayed silent, neither denying nor defending the post.

For some, the brief episode was more than just a blip — it was a window into the new age of AI-fueled disinformation, where even world leaders can be caught amplifying deepfakes.

“We’ve reached a point where reality and fabrication are colliding in real time,” said one media analyst. “When the President of the United States shares a fake version of himself making false promises, it’s not just bizarre — it’s dangerous.”

Still, Trump’s history of dabbling in online conspiracy content made the medbed clip feel less like an aberration and more like another chapter in his ever-evolving digital persona.

During his presidency and beyond, he’s flirted with QAnon-adjacent themes, occasionally sharing posts containing cryptic symbols or messages that thrill his most loyal online base.

Yet even among conspiracy theorists, the medbed myth stands out for its sheer absurdity.

Stories circulate of billionaires secretly healing themselves on space-age platforms, of former presidents lying in suspended animation, and of a coming “Great Awakening” when the technology will finally be revealed.

“It’s pure science fiction,” said one commentator, “but for believers, it’s gospel.”

In the aftermath of the deletion, Trump’s supporters have spun their own explanations. Some insist the post was an intentional “test” or teaser of real technology to come. Others claim it was sabotage — a rogue staffer or a manipulated upload.

But for many Americans, it’s another moment that underscores how blurred the lines between politics, performance, and parody have become.

As Trump gears up for another heated election cycle, his relationship with truth — digital or otherwise — remains as mercurial as ever.

Whether the medbed video was a mistake, a stunt, or a signal to a fringe audience, one thing is clear: the former president has once again reminded the nation that in his world, the extraordinary often arrives without explanation — and vanishes just as suddenly.
