After President Trump shared a fake AI-generated Fox News report claiming he'd be creating "MedBed hospitals" that magically cure people, California Gov. Gavin Newsom slammed him on X.

California Governor called out President Donald Trump for promoting misinformation online after Trump shared a fake AI-generated Fox News report claiming he'd be creating "MedBed hospitals" that magically cure people of illnesses.

Trump shared a fake video that looked like a clip from his daughter-in-law Lara Trump’s Fox News show. In the doctored split-screen, Lara appears to announce a “historic new healthcare system,” touting “America’s first MedBed hospitals” and a “national MedBed card for every citizen.”


The video then cuts to Trump himself, falsely shown saying that “every American will soon receive their own MedBed card,” as futuristic hospital footage—with podlike beds and sleek technology—flashes on screen. Trump is shown calling these facilities "safe" and pledging "the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”

If that sounds insane to you, you'd be correct.

You can see the "news report" below.

Newsom has been trolling the Trump administration for weeks and swiftly criticized Trump for "posting AI-generated slop" online as his administration continues to stonewall Democrats over their healthcare demands as the government braces for a government shutdown that would cut vital services unless a funding deadline is reached.

Newsom said:

“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."

You can see his post below.

The misinformation Trump is promoting is so blatant that people joined Newsom in pushing back against it aggressively.

CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale—who has fact-checked Trump live on the air more than once—said the "MedBed" conspiracy theory is designed to sow disorder among the lower class, misleading them to believe “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.”

Meanwhile, Democrats say they will not support the Republicans’ proposed continuing resolution to keep the government open unless it includes an extension of the premium tax credit that helps subsidize health insurance for people earning between 100% and 400% of the federal poverty level.

Democrats have stressed that without that extension, millions could lose their coverage, and premiums across the Affordable Care Act marketplace would rise sharply.

Trump earlier declined to meet with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to negotiate as the funding deadline looms, saying he predicts a “long and brutal slog” ahead unless Democrats drop their demands.

As prominent MAGA minions, like QAnon conspiracy peddler and former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, have come out against MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, so too are some lesser known individuals.

Whether it's his Iran War, his continuing saga with the Epstein files, his utter failure to keep any of his campaign promises that they banked on helping them, or the abject incompetence of his hand-picked personnel, some members of MAGA are distancing themselves from the cult.

Trump Ripped For Somehow Making His 'Happy Mother's Day' Post All About Himself Without Any Mention Of Melania

President Donald Trump was criticized after he "honored" mothers on Mother's Day by attacking Democrats in a self-absorbed post on Truth Social, never mentioning his wife, First Lady Melania, who is the mother of his youngest son Barron.

Instead of acknowledging her and mothers around the country, Trump gloated about the economy and accused critics of having "Trump Derangement Syndrome," targeting Democrats and Jerome Powell, the Federal Reserve Chair he's been trying to push out of his administration.

Zach Galifianakis Expertly Lays Into Comedians Who Refuse To 'Challenge' Trump When He's A Guest On Their Podcasts

Actor and comedian Zach Galifianakis called out comedians who have had President Donald Trump on their podcasts and didn't "challenge" him, noting that they've effectively abdicated their role by not making jokes at Trump's expense or pushing back against things he says.

Galifianakis made that argument during a recent episode of Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, where host Conan O'Brien remarked that few, if any, people have challenged a sitting president the way Galifianakis did when he interviewed then-President Barack Obama in 2014 on his satirical series Between Two Ferns.
