Former U.S. President Donald Trump recently posted and then deleted an AI-generated video that claimed to announce a new system of “MedBed hospitals” which allegedly could cure cancer and restore full health. The video was made to look like a Fox News segment, featuring an AI version of Trump and his daughter-in-law Lara Trump. It promised that all Americans would receive a “MedBed card” giving access to miraculous medical beds.
However, no real MedBed technology exists, and the video was widely exposed as a fabrication. Fox News confirmed that the segment never aired. Experts say the “MedBed” concept is part of a conspiracy theory rooted in QAnon and fringe wellness circles, claiming impossible healing technology hidden from the public.
Video announcement was AI-generated and later removed
The video surfaced on Trump’s Truth Social account, styled like a breaking news Fox News segment. In it, “Trump” says every American will be given a MedBed card to access futuristic hospitals. After around 12 hours, the post was deleted.
Fox News confirmed that the broadcast never aired on their network. They denied any connection to the segment.
The MedBed claim: cure cancer, regenerate limbs, restore health
The core claim in the video was that MedBeds are advanced medical devices that can cure diseases, regenerate limbs, and fully restore health. In the clip “Trump” says these beds are “safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength.”
These claims mirror typical conspiracy narratives about “miracle technology” that governments or elites hide from the public.
In reality, there is no credible scientific evidence or prototype of such technology. MedBeds remain a pseudoscientific idea with no backing from the medical community.
Expert response and fact checks
Journalists and fact checkers quickly debunked the video. CNN anchor Jake Tapper called it “bogus” and emphasized that MedBeds do not exist. Multiple media outlets reported the video was fake, and no medical or government authority has validated any such technology. Science communicators warn that such content can mislead vulnerable viewers who hope for miracle cures, potentially causing harm if people delay or reject real medical treatment.

Implications: AI, misinformation, and public trust
This incident shows how AI can be used to create persuasive fake content, especially in politics and health. The blending of conspiracy claims with realistic visuals makes it harder for ordinary viewers to discern truth.
Using false promises of medical miracles also erodes trust in legitimate science, health systems, and public messaging. If people believe in miracle cures, they may shy away from real medical advice or treatments.
