The Conservateur’s Jayme Franklin on Trump’s ‘Hot’ America

Jayme Franklin was a young college student at the University of California at Berkeley in 2016 and chose to support Donald Trump for president. Following Trump’s election, Franklin quickly became aware of a lack of representation among young conservative women.  

Women’s magazines, such as 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 website provides thoughtful commentary on political and cultural issues from a conservative perspective but also promotes classic American values through fashion. Playing off Trump’s “Make America Great Again” caps, 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 policy winning streak, from the “Big, Beautiful Bill” to the “Alligator Alcatraz” illegal-alien detention facility in the Florida Everglades.
