Donald Trump Blasts Taylor Swift While Praising Sydney Sweeney
President Donald Trump has taken a side regarding the American Eagle campaign which recently became the subject of backlash and divisiveness on social media. As it turns out, Trump was rather supportive of Sydney Sweeney and her involvement in the campaign, emphasizing that she starred in what he calls the 'hottest' commercial. He released these statements not long after Sydney Sweeney was revealed to have registered as a Republican in Florida. On that subject, Trump also had something to say, claiming that 'being woke is for losers.' The comments were made on Truth Social, where he also took the opportunity to simultaneously call out celebrity Taylor Swift for not sharing the same political standings as Sweeney. Here's what he first shared on Truth Social via The Times regarding Sweeney: '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!' To that end, this is what he said regarding 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. The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!' Although Donald Trump has had plenty to say regarding Sydney Sweeney and the way her American Eagle campaign has been received, Sweeney herself has yet to comment on the matter. With the ad campaign reusing the pun that Sweeney has 'great jeans,' a nod to having 'great genes,' it's something that some viewers have interpreted as Nazi propaganda. For now, Sweeney has chosen to stay clear of the controversy, and even American Eagle has taken a more lighthearted approach to rectifying the situation. Now that Donald Trump has publicly discussed his enthusiasm for the advertisement while also slamming Taylor Swift, we'll have to see how this situation continues. For now, it's likely not the last we've heard about the American Eagle campaign or the controversies it has now started.
