The Story in Brief
Jayme Leagh Franklin, a former Trump White House official, has revealed she is pregnant after online speculation that she was pressing a button to 'zap' the president awake. During a press conference on Monday where Trump signed an executive order on childhood vaccine spacing, he appeared to doze off. Franklin, standing to his right, tapped her abdomen, and Trump startled. Conspiracy theories on X claimed she had a button fitted on her belly to wake him.
Franklin responded on X: "I'm just pregnant, you weirdos", with emojis. She attended the event to advocate for parental autonomy in vaccine choices. Franklin is CEO of The Conservateur, a conservative lifestyle brand. She lives in Washington, DC, with her husband Drake Franklin, whom she married in 2021, and their daughter Vivienne.
The Indian Opinion
The instant leap from a woman touching her belly to conspiracy theories about a hidden zapper button says more about online culture than Jayme Franklin. Social media users mocked her as a 'bobblehead bimbo', then conjured bizarre theories without a shred of evidence. Pregnant women should not have to defend themselves against such nonsense. The real test is whether the executive order on vaccine spacing gains any scientific backing from federal health agencies, not whether staffers nod off.
