President Donald Trump seems to have gone off the QAnon deep end. In a post on his Truth Social account published over the weekend, Trump shared an AI-generated video of himself announcing the arrival of “medbeds,” a speculative technology that can supposedly heal all injuries.
Trump’s post, since deleted, was published Friday. The video featured a fictionalized Fox News segment that included the fake Trump proclaiming that every American would soon receive their own medbed card, providing them access to newly opened hospitals with the technology (though the post was deleted, other people preserved the video itself). Some people, particularly QAnon adherents, believe that medbeds exist but have been kept away from the public at the behest of the rich and powerful.
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. https://t.co/L1MBPIU4ON pic.twitter.com/wWBQPDFbnb — Alex Kaplan (@AlKapDC) September 28, 2025
“These facilities are safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health,” AI Trump stated.
A fake cure-all
The medbed conspiracy theory dates back several years, though it’s an extension of similar beliefs that have long circulated among some alternative medicine and New Age proponents. The premise is simple enough: there are beds or devices outfitted with technology that can effectively cure every ailment known to humans. The world’s elite, however, have purportedly buried this technology, which may or may not have been made with the help of aliens, or are only using it for themselves.
Gizmodo reached out to the White House for comment but did not receive a response prior to publication.
Some people and businesses even claim to sell medbeds, though these appear to be nothing more than gussied-up motel rooms or grossly expensive at-home “generators.” At least one medbed-related company, Tesla BioHealing, has since changed its advertising to avoid the explicit mention of medbeds; the company had previously received a warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration in 2023 over how it falsely marketed its products as medical treatments. Its “quantum healing” generator currently sells for $11,000. Other scammers will instead sell medbed cards that will supposedly grant people future access to these beds once available.
Trump’s QAnon flirting
Trump is hardly one to shy away from conspiratorial trends.
In recent days on his Truth Social account, for instance, he continued to push for several policy changes advocated by the anti-vaccination movement, such as breaking apart the combination measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine; he also shared a video supportive of the “great replacement theory” (the far-right, white nationalist belief that the world’s elites are planning to eradicate white people). Those posts, incidentally, remain up. Trump also infamously popularized the conspiracy belief that former President Barack Obama was secretly born in Kenya.
Still, it’s not clear why Trump would even want to share the medbed post, especially since it promised his followers something he couldn’t possibly deliver on.
