We all know the robot was programmed to respond this way. Jayme Leagh Franklin — a MAGA influencer who launched a right-wing lifestyle brand that slings pink “Make America Hot Again” hats — was invited into the Oval Office Monday for the signing of an executive order about childhood vaccines that pediatricians warn “doesn’t make sense.”

As soon as clips of the ceremony hit X, users on the platform were immediately transfixed by Franklin’s robot-like stiffness and incessant nodding. Users also mocked her outfit, with many saying it was reminiscent of a flight attendant’s uniform.

One video shared on X shows Franklin touching her belly while Trump appears to be taking a nap during the ceremony. As soon as Franklin lightly taps her stomach, Trump abruptly wakes up. This led to a rather wild theory on X.

“Claims she has a button fitted on her belly, and when she gets the nod that he’s asleep she moves her hand and presses a button that wakes him,” one X user captioned the clip. “They’re calling her The Zapper. No idea if it’s true but it *appears* to line up.”

The “Zapper” theory quickly took off, and Franklin finally responded. “Beep bop beep bop 100001000101110,” she wrote — we’re just kidding, she actually wrote: “I’m just pregnant you weirdos 😂😭.”

Despite Trump’s penchant for calling his predecessor former President Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe,” Trump has fallen asleepduring variousmedia events throughout his second term. Some conservatives have tried to spin Trump’s sporadic sleepy times as healthy — Secretary of State Marco Rubio went as far as to claim that he’s “never seen” Trump fall asleep during a meeting.
