President Trump yesterday shared on social media a clip from Lara Trump’s Fox News talk show showing new, modern MEDBEDs about to be made available in the U.S. He announced this “historic new healthcare system with the launching of America’s first MedBed Hospitals and a national MedBed card for every citizen.” MedBeds pods look like tanning beds and will “restore every citizen to full health and strength” by “curing almost every illness and restoring health and strength.” These MedBeds will be available in new, ultra-modern hospitals “equipped with the most advanced technology in the world and will be led by top doctors in the nation”.
The video clip showed President Trump looking at the MedBeds on a TV screen in his office as he prepared to meet with congressional leaders to negotiate avoiding a government shut down. Lara goes on to explain near the end of the clip, “In the first phase only a limited number of MedBeds will be released. Registration details will be announced very soon.”
The video was removed from the internet by the White House about 12 hours later, once that it was discovered to be an AI fake.
However, that much time did allow a flurry of social media comments: “ What’s next, mental hospitals called BedLams?” [A term you may remember from the 18th century]; Some health and wellness sites were concerned about potential side effects, “BedHeads, BedBods, and, of course, cyber BedBugs might occur.” Stephen Colbert even was worried about the potential consequences to the poor staffer who was picked to tell the President that the video was fake.
In addition to Lara’s (Eric’s wife) video, President Trump announced the same day on social media the creation of a new Trump company, TrumpRx, that will provide a direct-to-consumer website for buying prescriptions medications at a considerable discount. This message was not a fake. The new company is presumed to be an element of the new Trump Health Plan promised for over a decade. It will add prescription drugs to the other Trump businesses of selling hats, watches, tee shirts, sweat shirts, coffee mugs, mug shot posters, cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and “other intangibles”.
In other medical-related AI news, a fake AI video of two Democratic leaders was posted on Trump’s social media the night of September 28 showing them talking about “… giving all those illegal aliens free healthcare, we might be able to get them on our side. They can’t speak English, so they won’t realize we’re just a bunch of woke pieces of s**t, you know”.
This is NOT my April fools issue, . . . and you’d better get ready for a tidal wave of fake AI videos in the elections ahead.
