Earlier in the month, Donald Trump declared Sydney Sweeney’s racy jeans ad was “the HOTTEST” and slammed “woke” companies like “stupid” Jaguar and Bud Light.
He insisted he “loves” the 27-year-old actress’s controversial American Eagle jeans advert after learning that she is a Republican.
In a Truth Social post, the President gushed: “Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the ‘HOTTEST’ ad out there.
“It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are ‘flying off the shelves.’ Go get ‘em Sydney!”
Some Maga figures have hailed Sydney’s jeans campaign as the “end of woke advertising”, and Trump took the opportunity to stick the boot in.
Her right-wing leaning was revealed amid a storm of controversy surrounding an advert she shot for American Eagles jeans.
Critics have compared the add, which declares “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”, to “Nazi propaganda”.
In one clip, Sydney says that genes are passed down from parents to offspring, “often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color”.
She then states: “My jeans are blue.”
In another ad, the actress approaches a billboard featuring her image and the phrase, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” which she alters by crossing out “genes” and replacing it with “jeans.”
It’s been claimed that the promotion of Sydney’s blonde hair and blue eye traits suggests they are superior to alternative genes.
The ads sparked a social media frenzy about Western beauty standards and race.
American Eagle doubled down on the marketing campaign despite the intense backlash.
The brand wrote in an Instagram statement on Friday: “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans.

What is the American Eagle controversy?
JEANS brand American Eagle sparked a social media frenzy and intense controversy with its latest ad campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney.
The series of ads make a play on the words “jeans” and “genes”.
Their most controversial element is the tagline: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,” which some have interpreted as implying her blonde hair, blue eye traits are superior to others.
Critics claim that the ads glorify a specific beauty standard and racial ideal.
TikTok videos commenting on the campaign have racked up millions of view, and some of the ad clips have been removed from the brand’s official accounts.
However, American Eagle released a statement defending its campaign, insisting: “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans.”
Right-wing figures have hailed the episode as a triumph for the “anti-woke” movement.
The Euphoria star has not commented herself on the controversial ad.
