Beau of The Fifth Column

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 health care.

Yes, it's basically promising Star Trek beds to people.

A little bit of digging and you can find some info about a company selling cards that are similar to what was being advertised.

The cards do not grant access to magic beds.

This whole incident requires a discussion of a couple of things.

First, and I say this again, there is no known magical medical bed.

Second, while Trump's social media is sharing fake videos promising new hospitals and top doctors, the reality is that his one big beautiful bill is reducing access to medical care.

Third, while Trump's social media is sharing a video talking about a new era in American healthcare, he's getting ready for a meeting with congressional Democrats because he wants to cut health insurance to millions of Americans.

But sadly, all of this is just normal politics.

There's the big one.

Twice over the weekend, Trump shared claims of an outlandish, bizarre, and frankly unbelievable nature.

It started with his bizarre claims about the FBI on January 6th that were so out there, even Kash Patel pushed back on them.

Then it was followed with magical beds.

You would think Trump, who recently made medical announcements, would know enough about U.S.

health care programs to at least know that we don't have magic beds.

Or that maybe he would remember that he didn't say the things in the video.

Trump's Grandpa Simpson moments are getting more and more frequent and more unusual.

I understand that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, but I think the president should have a better understanding of the healthcare system in the U.S.
