California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) blasted Donald Trump after the president shared an AI-generated video online promoting a far-right, QAnon-aligned conspiracy theory about “miracle hospital beds.”Trump posted the clip on his Truth Social platform on Saturday. It was deleted the next day. It featured a fake Fox News segment with the president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, a host on the network, and an artificial intelligence voice-over of Trump claiming that new “MedBed hospitals” would soon launch across the country and that “every American will soon receive their own MedBed card.”The press office for Newsom, which has repeatedly taunted Trump using his own bombastic style in recent weeks, responded on X, formerly Twitter:“Trump is about to shut down the government and rip health care from 20 million Americans. What’s he doing? Posting AI-generated slop about ‘miracle hospital beds’ that cure all illness.”“DONALD TRUMP HAS LOST IT,” it added.Trump is about to shut down the government and rip health care from 20 million Americans.

DONALD TRUMP HAS LOST IT. https://t.co/uzYSfp6OY7— Governor Newsom Press Office (@GovPressOffice) September 28, 2025CNN’s fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale explained on X that the “MedBed” conspiracy theory centers on the belief “that society’s elite/the deep state already has secret access to medbeds, or that famously dead people like JFK are actually alive on medbeds.”The fake report, said Dale, shows Trump “supposedly giving Real Americans access to the elites’ magic product.”The conspiracy theory is that society’s elite/the deep state already has secret access to medbeds, or that famously dead people like JFK are actually alive on medbeds. So the imaginary Fox report has Trump supposedly giving Real Americans access to the elites’ magic product. https://t.co/E2QYO9ZBEh— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) September 28, 2025Trump’s post stunned many others online too:One of the worst parts of it to me is that the general premise of the video is giving every American access to national healthcare. It’s shown positively. Trump could actually do this!!!!! Just without the sci fi tech! But he won’t— e.g. (@canering) September 28, 2025Truly insane that Trump posted a video promising “medbeds.” QAnon and other conspiracy theorists believes Medbeds are an all-healing, possibly alien technology that the cabal is keeping from us. https://t.co/WXa1mJTAZT— Will Sommer (@willsommer) September 28, 2025Unhinged psychopath Trump posts bizarre AI “MedBed” video which appears to mock his own healthcare initiatives. With this, he’s only emphasizing he never came up with his own often promised health care plan. What a loser. pic.twitter.com/bxjjoJ8sAt— Mike Sington (@MikeSington) September 28, 2025Trump deleted his bizarre post featuring an AI video of him endorsing “medbeds,” which raises the question of whether he’s so confused that he thought it was a real video of him talking https://t.co/e2NUa4gnZj— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 28, 2025Wouldn’t be the first time Trump had to backpedal after pushing fringe nonsense. Whether he was confused or caught, the pattern is clear: flood the zone with chaos, then pretend it never happened when reality pushes back.But here’s the real danger, when the president of the…— Evaristus Odinikaeze (@odinikaeze) September 28, 2025This is like an episode of Black Mirror that would probably be titled “45 + 47 = The Series Finale”— Ox The Angry (@OxTheAngry) September 28, 2025The President of the United States is actively contributing to chaos and confusion here, by posting an AI video on medbeds, a science fiction medical thing that doesn't exist, but he claims it's real. Imagine if Joe Biden did this. pic.twitter.com/9TTvy2CD9j— BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ (@mmpadellan) September 28, 2025Close
