Karoline Leavitt Defends Trump’s Now-Deleted Post About Magic Cure-All ‘Med Beds’: ‘Quite Refreshing!’
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended President Donald Trump’s post about “med beds” that cure any and all diseases as “refreshing” and part of his commitment to transparency.
At a White House press conference on Wednesday, Leavitt was asked what the president was trying to “communicate” with his Truth Social post.
The president shared an AI-generated video in which he promoted non-existent “med beds.”
“Every American will soon receive their own medbed card,” the AI Trump said in the video. “With it, you’ll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world. These facilities are safe, modern, and designed to restore every citizen to full health and strength. This is the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”
Trump has since deleted the video from his Truth Social.
“I think the president saw the video and posted it and then took it down. And he has the right to do that. It’s his social media,” Leavitt said.
She added that’s “quite refreshing” to have a president with an “honest” and “open” social media account. Part of Trump’s social media, she explained, is that he likes to share videos and memes he finds online. The president has recently taken to posting AI-generated images and videos of his political opponents, like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY).
“He’s incredibly transparent, as you all know. You hear from him directly on social media, he likes to share memes, he like to share videos,” Leavitt said. “He likes to repost things that he sees other people post on social medias as well and I think it’s quite refreshing that we have a president who is so open and honest directly himself, many a-times on truth [social], you are hearing directly from the President of the United States.”
