Welcome back to the Franklin and Douglas Podcast, where current events, media chaos, and questionable advice collide. In Episode 72, we break down the viral Vanity Fair interview and photo shoot featuring Donald Trump’s White House inner circle, and why it completely took over social media. From the striking close-up portraits to the behind-the-scenes quotes, this feature sparked outrage, memes, think pieces, and nonstop online debate.
We discuss the controversy surrounding the Vanity Fair photos, the photographer’s intent, and why images of political figures can trigger such intense reactions. We also dig into standout quotes from Susie Wiles, unpacking what was said, how it was interpreted, and why people on both sides of the internet had something to say about it. As always, Franklin and Douglas cut through the noise with humor, commentary, and reactions that don’t take themselves too seriously.
If you enjoy current events podcasts, pop culture meets politics, media analysis, and entertaining conversations fueled by internet drama, this episode is for you. Expect laughs, hot takes, and a front-row seat to how one magazine feature turned into a full-blown social media moment.
