US EditionTrump Deletes Post Referencing Bizarre ‘Medbed’ Conspiracy Theory
- President Donald Trump shared an artificially created video on Saturday promoting a fictional medical technology called 'med beds' via his Truth Social platform.
- The video was intended to appear as a Fox News segment featuring Lara Trump but Fox News confirmed it never aired on any of their platforms.

- The promotion revived far-right conspiracy theories from 2022 that claim these cure-all beds, currently withheld by liberal billionaires, will be available only after Trump returns to office.
