‘The Zapper’ Mystery : Was a Woman Really Hired to Keep Trump Awake ?
Washington : What if the US President had his own human alarm clock ? That’s exactly the hilarious theory taking social media by storm! A viral video has sparked claims that a woman standing behind Donald Trump has been specially assigned to wake him up whenever he appears to doze off during meetings or official events.
Internet users have jokingly dubbed her “The Zapper,” claiming she carries a mysterious button or buzzer that can supposedly bring the President back to attention. The speculation began after Trump appeared to briefly close his eyes during an event, while the woman behind him was seen moving her hand toward her waist.
When Trump opened his eyes moments later, social media users quickly connected the two scenes, joking that she had pressed her secret “wake-up button.”
The bizarre theory soon turned into memes and humorous posts, with some users even calling her Trump’s alleged “wake-up officer.” But before the internet turns this joke into White House fact, there is an important catch: there is no verified evidence or official confirmation that the woman was hired to wake Trump, carries a special buzzer, or has any such responsibility.
The apparent connection between her hand movement and Trump opening his eyes is based entirely on interpretation of the short viral clip. The episode has also revived memories of Trump’s famous nickname for former President Joe Biden “Sleepy Joe.”
While the “Zapper” story has certainly given social media plenty to laugh about, the supposed wake-up job remains an unverified viral claim, not a confirmed White House arrangement.
