ALBAWABA - The internet has been upside down after a woman who appeared to be moving in a weird way behind U.S. President Donald Trump in the Oval Office at the White House.

In the clips online, Franklin is seen standing between Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr in the Oval Office on Monday and repeatedly nodding her head and holding her hand over her stomach.

Activists questioned online, "Are we sure this isn’t a “Robot” that was behind Trump today? 'She' seems a little Sus."

According to some X users, the mysterious woman was allegedly pressing something on her stomach, and at the same time, Trump woke up, triggering a wave of fuss on social media about the link between Trump and the female seen behind him during the conference.

One person wrote, "The woman sitting next to Trump moves her hand and presses a device on her stomach, and at that exact moment, Trump suddenly jumps up startled, as if she had given him an electric shock to wake him up in front of the cameras."

Is she a robot? Who is the woman behind Trump?

American media and activists identified the woman behind the U.S. president as Jayme Leagh Franklin, founder and CEO of conservative media and lifestyle brand The Conservateur.

Franklin herself was shocked by the bizarre theories floating online and linking her hand on the belly to pressing a button to wake Trump up at the press conference. She responded by quoting one of the posts and explaining that she is pregnant.
