On Saturday, Donald Trump circulated, probably, an artificially generated video in which the concept of “medbed” as a universal remedy for all ailments is referenced; the roots of this story reach into conspiracy corners of the internet.
The recording was allegedly supposed to look like a clip from Fox News featuring host Lara Trump, but the actual video included an artificial version of the former president, who allegedly promises access to cutting-edge medical technologies.
In the footage of the fake address, medbed is presented as a way to completely overhaul the U.S. healthcare system, but it later became clear that this was a fabrication.
Every American will soon be issued their own medbed card. With it you will have guaranteed access to our new hospitals, led by the country’s best doctors and equipped with the world’s most advanced technology.

The “medbed” theory unfolded in online circles, particularly among QAnon supporters, turning into a modern form of faith in supposedly magical medicines and treatments that the government and medical institutions allegedly hide.
Alongside UFO and government secrets, there were talks that the United States allegedly reverse-engineered technology from extraterrestrial sources, secretly obtained to create advanced healing devices.
The idea of keeping such technology secret and distributing it only to the chosen has fed into a broader belief that the government is hiding information about UFOs from the public.
The QAnon movement emerged in 2017; many of its followers still believe that Trump will make this allegedly secret “miracle” technology available to everyone.
In the fake video that appeared online and was later removed, Trump allegedly praised the advantages of this so-called therapy.
These facilities are safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen’s full health and strength. This marks the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.

Some New Age and online-center-affiliated versions of medbed sell dubious and undisclosed promises about healing devices or other products with allegedly magnetic or infrared properties. Such materials and products appear at events featuring QAnon supporters, and in the landscape of digital disinformation they are not uncommon.
Overall, the story of the “medbed” reflects a long-standing distrust of the government and official institutions, as well as the growing role of disinformation in online spaces. Experts urge a critical approach to such materials, verify facts, and avoid manipulative imagery that may spread with the help of artificial intelligence.
How to detect and counter such manipulations
Fact-checkers advise verifying sources, paying attention to publication dates, analyzing context, and seeking independent corroboration of events. It is also important to distinguish real statements by officials from forgeries created with artificial intelligence or editing.
Remember: in the world of digital information, not every sensational claim is true. Critical thinking and fact-checking help avoid manipulation and keep clarity about what is happening around political and technological news.
