Gavin Newsom Trolls Donald Trump Over Bonkers AI Video That Shows He’s ‘LOST IT’
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) blasted Donald Trump after the president shared online an AI-generated video promoting a far-right, QAnon-aligned conspiracy theory about “miracle hospital beds.”
Trump posted the clip on his Truth Social platform on Saturday. It was deleted the next day. It featured a fake Fox News segment with the president’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, a host on the network, and an AI voiceover of Trump claiming that new “MedBed hospitals” would soon launch across the country and that “every American will soon receive their own MedBed card.”
The press office for Newsom, who has repeatedly taunted Trump using his own bombastic style in recent weeks, responded on X, formerly Twitter:
“Trump is about to shut down the government and rip health care from 20 million Americans. What’s he doing? Posting AI-generated slop about ‘miracle hospital beds’ that cure all illness.”
“DONALD TRUMP HAS LOST IT,” it added.
CNN’s fact-checking reporter Daniel Dale explained on X that the “MedBed” conspiracy theory centers on the belief “that society’s elite/the deep state already has secret access to medbeds, or that famously dead people like JFK are actually alive on medbeds.”
The fake report, said Dale, shows Trump “supposedly giving Real Americans access to the elites’ magic product.”
Trump’s post stunned many others online too:
