Sydney Sweeney Taylor Swift Donald Trump American Eagle
  • Donald Trump lauded Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle jeans advert, calling it the "'HOTTEST' ad out there" shortly after discovering she is a registered Republican.

  • American Eagle defended the advert, clarifying that it was solely about Sweeney's jeans and her personal story, not about genetic traits.
  • The controversy sparked a political debate, with Trump's allies defending Sweeney and the advert against "cancel culture," while some Democrats mocked the conservative support.
