President Donald Trump continued to cheer on actress Sydney Sweeney in a Truth Social post Monday morning, pitting her against singer Taylor Swift.
Clothing brand American Eagle has been under fire for days after running a ‘racially charged’ ad featuring actress Sweeney, which was decried by liberals as ‘Nazi propaganda.’
‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ a tagline in one of the videos featuring the blonde-haired, blue-eyed 27-year-old reads.
Trump, among other prominent conservatives, rushed to Sweeney’s defense against the ‘woke’ mafia coming for her after learning that she’s been a registered Republican since last June.
‘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!’ the president said.
Trump then called attention to the controversy surrounding a recent Jaguar ad, which prompted the car company’s CEO to step down.
The ad showed androgynous models – and zero cars – with some conservative critics referring to it as ‘Bud Light 2.0.’
Nigel Farage and Elon Musk accused the carmaker of abandoning its ‘jag-man’ heritage.
‘On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE , THAT IS A TOTAL DISASTER!’ Trump said. ‘The CEO just resigned in disgrace, and the company is in absolute turmoil.’
‘Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad,’ the president asked. ‘Shouldn’t they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company.’
The 78-year-old Republican then turned his attention to Swift, who endorsed both President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in 2020 and 2024, respectively.
‘Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can’t stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT,’ Trump claimed.
‘The tide has seriously turned – Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be,’ Trump said.
He ended the Truth Social post with his trademark, ‘Thank you for your attention to this matter!’
On Sunday night, the Daily Mail had asked Trump if he had any reaction to the Daily Mail and other outlets reporting that Sweeney had registered as a Republican in 2024.
‘She’s a registered Republican?’ the president said with interest on the tarmac of the Lehigh Valley International Airport outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Trump was heading back to Washington after spending the weekend at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort.
‘You’d be surprised at how many people are Republican. That’s one I wouldn’t have known, but I’m glad you told me that,’ he continued.
‘If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.’
Sweeney is a member of the Republican Party of Florida, according to public voter records viewed by the Daily Mail.
She registered in Monroe County, Florida in June 2024.
Buzzfeed was the first outlet to report Sweeney’s voter registration.
Sweeney has been criticized for the American Eagle ad, which used the tagline ‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,’ with some critics saying it sounded like ‘Nazi propaganda.’
A number of conservatives and MAGA personalities have come out in her defense.
Democratic lawmakers have largely stayed away from the conversation, though Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell mocked Republican Sen. Ted Cruz for saying the ‘crazy Left has come out against beautiful women.’
‘2 thoughts: 1. Thirsty Ted will defend Sydney Sweeney but won’t defend his own wife against Trump’s smears,’ Swalwell said, referencing a controversial post on Heidi Cruz Trump was responsible for highlighting during the 2016 GOP primary campaign.
‘2. Attacking the Sydney Sweeney ad is dumb,’ Swalwell also offered.
A spokesperson for Sweeney did not immediately respond to the Daily Mail’s request for comment.
Swift’s spokesperson Tree Paine pointed to several barometers that showed the singer was indeed still hot, including that she accounts for 2 percent of the entire U.S. music market and that she was rated the most attractive singer on the planet by artificial intelligence.
