Donald Trump deletes AI video promoting alien-based conspiracy theory

President Donald Trump has deleted a bizarre video from his social media, in which he promised to give Americans their own ‘cure-all bed’.

The AI version of Trump in the video promised access to a new bed, which is based on conspiracy theories from the internet, to each citizen, and access to ‘new hospitals’ led by ‘top doctors’ in the US.

‘They’re equipped with the most advanced technology in the world,’ the AI-version of Trump said.

‘These facilities are safe, modern and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength.’

The post was deleted soon after it was published, but it has worrying links to QAnon and other conspiracy theories.

‘Med-beds’ come from corners of the internet which believe the US reverse-engineered alien aircraft to make advanced healing technologies. None of this is true.

The theory is closely linked with QAnon, which has previously said it believes Trump could make the alleged ‘technology’ available to all.

‘Medbeds’ are believed to heal wounds, regrow limbs, cure diseases and help improve overall human health – only, they don’t exist.

The fake clip shared on Trump’s social media appeared to show a mocked-up Fox News segment, which never aired.

Since deleting the post, the White House hasn’t sent out a statement or clarified that the post was indeed AI-generated, despite expert opinion deeming it so.

What is QAnon?

QAnon is a wide-ranging, controversial conspiracy theory that claims there is a band of Satan-worshipping paedophiles in the public eye.

They also believe that Trump is trying to fight the said cabal.

It is thought these conspiracy theories first started in 2017, after an anonymous user posted a string of messages on the website 4chan, signing them off with the letter ‘Q’.

The individual known as ‘Q’ claimed to have a level of US security approval referred to as ‘Q clearance’.

Further messages followed – written in cryptic language and seemingly littered with pro-Trump themes – and were referred to as ‘Q drops’ or ‘breadcrumbs’.

The mysterious, anonymous Q grew in popularity across social media – and their identity has never been revealed. Many speculate that Q is actually multiple people.

Whatever the case, Q has proven to be a prolific poster, allowing followers to select tidbits which vaguely resemble the truth, while ignoring the rest.
