Sydney Sweeney Becomes Trumpโs Surprise Poster Girl
Donald Trump couldnโt help himself Monday. He showered praise on actress Sydney Sweeney for her role in American Eagleโs viral denim ad campaign โ and torched Taylor Swift while doing it.
In a Truth Social post that sent shockwaves across pop culture and political circles, Trump wrote, โSydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the โHOTTESTโ ad out there.โ
Then he added fuel to the fire: โThe jeans are flying off the shelves. Go get โem, Sydney!โ
Although the ad was initially met with backlash for its supposed subtle messaging, Trump didnโt just defend it โ he embraced it loudly.
Taylor Swift Catches a Stray in Trumpโs Denim Rant
And it wasnโt just Sweeney who grabbed his attention. Pop icon Taylor Swift got caught in the crossfire.
โEver since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I canโt stand her (HATE!), she was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT,โ Trump wrote, referencing the moment Swift was jeered at this yearโs championship game.
Meanwhile, he attacked Swiftโs political image, labeling her โwokeโ and out of touch with average Americans.
Trumpโs New Enemies: Jaguar and Bud Light
In addition to Swift, Trump tore into major brands. He cited Jaguar and Bud Light as examples of companies that lost consumer trust by trying too hard to be progressive.
โWho wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad?โ he posted. โShouldnโt they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the company.โ
Consequently, his message was unmistakable: Ditch the woke, back the bold.
American Eagle Soars as Trump Cheers Sweeney
Within hours, American Eagle Outfitters saw its stock price rocket up by nearly 20%. Wall Street took notice โ and so did shoppers.
โThis is not a coincidence,โ said one retail analyst. โTrump still has pull, especially among young conservatives.โ
Naturally, supporters flocked to social media. โSydney Sweeney just made American jeans great again,โ one user posted.
However, not everyone was impressed.
Social Media Battle Ignites Over Sweeneyโs Ad
Backlash erupted fast. Critics accused Trump of politicizing the actressโs fashion campaign and using it to energize his base.
Moreover, some labeled the ad as a โcoded messageโ aimed at pushing conservative values through commercial imagery.
โItโs not just about jeans,โ one viral tweet read. โItโs about pushing a very specific ideology to young people.โ
Even so, the controversy only amplified attention.
MAGA vs. Swifties: Culture War Erupts
Soon enough, Swiftโs loyal fanbase โ the Swifties โ hit back. Trumpโs comments lit up social media, triggering thousands of furious posts.
โHe canโt stand powerful women,โ one user fumed. โSweeney is being used. Taylor is being targeted.โ
Others accused Trump of turning culture into a battlefield. Still, many supporters praised him for taking on celebrities they feel have gone too far left.
Trump Declares Culture War Victory
Wrapping up his post, Trump declared: โThe tide has seriously turned โ being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be.โ
He didnโt just defend Sweeney. He turned her into a political statement.
Itโs not the first time Trump has weaponized pop culture. Yet this time, he may have sparked a trend without even realizing it.
What Will Sydney Sweeney Do Now?
The biggest question now is simple: What happens next for Sweeney?
So far, she hasnโt commented. But staying silent might not be an option for long.
Already, Hollywood insiders are debating whether her political affiliations will affect casting. Some say yes. Others argue she just became even more bankable.
โSheโs controversial now,โ one producer told us. โAnd in this town, that kind of buzz sells.โ
Culture, Denim, and Political Firestorms
What began as a playful ad for jeans is now ground zero in the cultural divide.
Sydney Sweeney represents style, youth, and (perhaps unintentionally) a political identity. Taylor Swift, meanwhile, remains the voice of progressive Hollywood.
And Donald Trump? Heโs once again inserted himself into the cultural zeitgeist โ one Truth Social post at a time.
Whether this helps or hurts Sweeney long-term remains to be seen. But one thing is certain.
The jeans are still selling. The drama is still growing.
And Trump? Heโs still steering the conversation.
