‘I’m just pregnant you weirdos’: Woman at center of wild Trump conspiracy theory responds
Jayme Leagh Franklin claims she's not "The Zapper."

A bizarre conspiracy theory recently took the internet by storm, placing former Trump White House official Jayme Leagh Franklin at the center of an viral social media narrative. The speculation began when observers claimed Franklin used a hidden device on her stomach to wake Donald Trump during a recent White House event.
The Viral Theory
The situation unfolded on Monday during a signing ceremony for an executive order regarding childhood vaccination schedules. As Trump appeared to be dozing off behind the podium, cameras caught Franklin, the CEO of an online culture and lifestyle publication, standing directly behind the president with her hand positioned on her stomach. Shortly after the gesture, Trump opened his eyes.
X user Tim Branigan capitalized on the moment, launching a tongue-in-cheek theory that quickly gained momentum. Branigan posted a claim suggesting Franklin had a button on her belly used to alert or wake the president, jokingly dubbing her "The Zapper." The post exploded, racking up nearly 28 million views and over 117,000 likes.
Setting the Record Straight
Franklin, who leads the conservative-focused publication The Conservateur, did not let the internet's imagination run wild for long. She took to X to shut down the accusations definitively.
"I’m just pregnant you weirdos," Franklin wrote in a social media post accompanied by two crying emojis, putting an end to the speculation surrounding her actions at the event. Stay tuned to 205focus.com for more updates as they break.
