Donald Trump Praises Sydney Sweeney’s Ad & Slams Taylor Swift In Nonsensical Rant

Babe wake up, a new, absolutely bananas Donald Trump rant just dropped!!!! This time, he’s weighing in on the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle drama, outing her political voting affiliation, giving his considered opinions on Taylor Swift, discussing advertising failures and, of course, the woke agenda. There’s a lot to unpack. Let’s discuss.

Just in case you’ve missed the hullabaloo, Sweeney found herself in a bit of drama over the last week after appearing in an ad for fashion brand American Eagle Outfitters. The campaign, which used the wordplay jeans-genes and featured Sweeney discussing her genetics, sparked debate over whether it promoted eugenics and Nazi ideology.

With the rise in conservative values and deportations in the United States, the campaign was perceived to be a loaded statement which promoted white supremacist values. Now, Trump is claiming that the campaign is actually really good and praised Sweeney for starring in the “HOTTEST ad out there”.

“Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there,” he wrote on his social media site Truth Social.

“It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are flying of [sic] the shelves. Go get ’em, Sydney!”

Despite the grammatical and spelling errors, Trump is right on two counts.

According to 2024 voting records in Florida reportedly reviewed by The Guardian, Sweeney listed her party affiliation as Republican. This is two years after Sweeney copped heat for attending a party where other attendees wore “Make America Great Again” hats.

Plus, ever since his post, stocks for American Eagle have skyrocketed by 20 per cent, with people rushing out to support the seemingly all-American brand and the values it represents.

Trump went on to claim that other brands that seemingly subscribed to the woke agenda fumbled the bag with their own campaigns.

“On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement, THAT IS A TOTAL DISASTER!” he despaired.

“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? Shouldn’t they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company.

“The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST.”

You can’t help but read it in his voice, can you?

President Donald Trump praised Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle jeans ad on Sunday, telling reporters that it is “fantastic” after finding out that the actress was a registered Republican. Sweeney registered with the Republican Party in Florida on June 16, 2024, prior to November’s presidential election, according to Florida voter registration records. #cnn #news #sydneysweeney #euphoria #trump #republican

Trump then moved on to another example of woke media resulting in reputation destruction — Taylor Swift.

“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),” he continued.

“She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became NO LONGER HOT.”

Despite hinting that Swift has lost her hoards of doting fans since his post, Swift is still one of the most successful musicians of all time.

She is currently the most awarded artist in history for the American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, MTV Music Awards and the iHeart Radio Awards. In 2019, she was voted musician of the decade by Billboard, and in 2023, she was Time Magazine‘s person of the year. In 2024, she was the first woman to earn seven Album of the Year nominations at the Grammys.

Plus, objectively, Swift is still hot, despite Trump’s dislike for Miss Americana herself.

Interestingly, Trump’s beef with Swift began when she finally voiced her distaste and distrust for a Trump-led government in 2019 after years of being an apolitical figure.

Things heated up when Trump used an AI-generated image of Swift in one of his Truth Social posts. Swift called him out for using her likeness without permission, and then publicly backed Kamala Harris for the 2024 election.

Trump responded by posting, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT” on Truth Social and since then, he hasn’t spoken about her too favourably in the media.

The grammatically progressive yet politically oppressive statement didn’t end there.

“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!” he concluded.

It’s giving high school. It’s giving badly executed propaganda. It’s giving silly little man energy.

Ultimately, there are two sides to the Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle ad debate, but Trump’s childish account of the discourse further highlights how absolutely fkn wild and terrifying it is that he is one of the most powerful men in the world.
