Overview

• The president’s Truth Social account posted late Saturday and then removed a Fox News–style deepfake featuring AI versions of Donald Trump and Lara Trump.
• Fox News told multiple outlets the purported segment never aired, confirming the clip’s fabricated origin.
• In the video, a synthetic Trump said, “Every American will soon receive their own medbed card,” describing nonexistent hospitals with miracle cures.
• Medical experts publicly condemned the claim as baseless, noting “medbeds” are a QAnon-linked conspiracy with no evidence of real-world efficacy.
• The White House has not explained why the video was shared, as archived copies continue to circulate and researchers flag the deepfake and public-health risks, including scams selling unproven “medbed” products previously warned about by regulators.
