Jayme Franklin's repeated head-bobbing as Trump spoke in the Oval Office had many speculating whether she was real or a robot.

And she looked so lifelike, too. Almost human.

As President Donald Trump signed an executive order upending the federal guidance for childhood vaccines, social media was more focused on a woman standing behind him during the announcement repeatedly nodding her head.

On Monday, Trump signed an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations that promote his long-held — and also discredited — theory that childhood shots should be spaced out over several appointments.

However, many social media users were far more interested with Jayme Franklin, the CEO of the conservative media and lifestyle brand The Conservateur and former Trump staffer.

Footage circulating on social media showed a smiling Franklin alongside Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in the Oval Office as the president announced the changes for federal childhood vaccinations.

Franklin could be seen holding her hand over her stomach while repeatedly nodding her head in agreement— actions that seemed to leave some Internet users perplexed, while others opted to nickname her “bobble head.”

Cyborg, nodding zombie. We're not quite sure what she is.

An interesting theory.
