Americana Summer: The Conservateur’s Jayme Franklin on Trump’s ‘Hot’ America

Jayme Franklin was a young college student at UC Berkeley in 2016 and chose to support Donald Trump for president. Following Trump’s election, Franklin quickly became aware of a lack of conservative representation among young conservative women.     Women’s magazines like Vogue and Cosmopolitan peddled leftist talking points and promoted narratives in opposition to traditional values. In response, Franklin founded The Conservateur in 2020.     The Conservateur publication provides thoughtful commentary on political and cultural issues from a conservative perspective, but also promotes classic American values through fashion. Playing on Trump “Make America Great Again Hat,” The Conservateur created its own “Make America Hot Again” hat, famously sported by Lara Trump in 2022.     Franklin joins the “Problematic Women” podcast to discuss conservative trends in America, from Trad wives to classic fashion. Also on today’s show, we discuss Trump’s winning policy streak, from the Big Beautiful Bill to the Alligator Alcatraz illegal alien detention facility in Florida.     Enjoy this week’s show!   Learn more about your ad choices.
