Trump shared a bizarre AI video to social media in which he's promoting "med beds" — a far-right conspiracy involving a magical bed that can heal any sickness.
I bet it will do one thing: Separate idiots from their money. There will inevitably be scammers who target the elderly, claiming that their medbed card was delayed because they owe back taxes. Now they need to go buy $5000 in Target gift cards, or else they’ll never be able to access their medbed.
Not just the elderly, there’s a LOT of chronically and terminally ill people who fall for these scams because at some point, there’s a lot of people who are willing to flail your arms and try anything, regardless of how dumb it sounds, rather than having to hear the doctors say “well we can try X for 3 weeks and see what we get out of it” for the 50th time.
My grandmother actually believes that this “med bed” bullshit is real. It’s not going to do anything.
