Jayme Leagh Franklin, the woman who went viral for repeatedly touching her belly while standing behind US President Donald Trump during a vaccine announcement, has hit back at internet trolls. 'I'm just pregnant you weirdos,' she wrote on X. The video, recorded at the Oval Office on Monday, showed Franklin nodding and smiling as Trump signed an executive order revamping childhood vaccine recommendations. Franklin is the founder of The Conservateur, a media and lifestyle brand for conservative Christian women, and has worked at Fox News. Online conspiracy theories falsely claimed she was pressing a button to 'zap' Trump awake. The incident drew more attention than the vaccine policy, which promotes spacing out childhood shots, a view widely discredited by medical experts.
