FOX News reported President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance weighed in on the American Eagle “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes/Jeans” campaign.
Upon learning Sweeney is a registered Republican, Trump gushed, “Oh, now I love her ad. … I think her ad is fantastic.”
For further context, consider Trump’s view on immigrants delivered while campaigning in 2024: “How about allowing people to come to an open border, 13,000 of which were murderers. … Many of them murdered far more than one person, and they’re now happily living in the United States. … You know, now a murderer, I believe this, it’s in their genes. And we got a lot of bad genes in our country right now.”
As for Vance, his American Eagle campaign critique included: “My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi. That appears to be their actual strategy.”
For further context, Vance’s pre-VP criticism of Trump included calling the president an “idiot” and referring to him as “America’s Hitler.”
In short, Trump and Vance appear to be genetically predisposed to spewing bullshit.
Trump says he now ‘loves’ Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad after learning she’s a registered Republican
President’s comments come after mixed social media reactions to ‘Great Jeans’ campaign

President Trump on Sunday reacted positively upon learning actress Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, adding that he now finds her viral American Eagle ad campaign to be “fantastic.”
“She’s a registered Republican?” Trump said in response to a reporter’s question about his thoughts on her political affiliation. “Oh, now I love her ad.”
The President added, “You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That’s what I wouldn’t have known, but I’m glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”
The “Euphoria” actress’ voter registration has surfaced as she faces backlash for her controversial American Eagle jeans campaign. Since June 2024, she has been registered with the Republican Party of Florida in Monroe County, the New York Post reported, citing public voter records.
Earlier this week, American Eagle released their latest campaign with the actress, titled “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans.” Following the launch, there was a mix of reactions on social media.
Some critics said the billboard’s play on “genes” versus “jeans” echoed eugenics-era slogans, though supporters argued it was a lighthearted marketing gimmick.
Some dubbed the campaign as “tone-deaf” due to the alleged racial undertones, while others have praised the actress for killing “woke” advertising.
In a promo video posted to the brand’s Instagram, the 27-year-old walked toward an AE billboard featuring her and the tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Genes.” Sweeney crossed out “Genes” and replaced it with “Jeans” before walking away.
On Friday, Vice President JD Vance had some fun at the expense of the left over its wild response to the American Eagle ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney.
“My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi. That appears to be their actual strategy,” Vance joked during Friday’s appearance on the “Ruthless” podcast.
