Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad has stirred up serious online controversy — but she just scored one very high-profile supporter: former President Donald Trump.
The reality TV star-turned-political powerhouse is now throwing his weight behind the Euphoria actress’s headline-grabbing denim campaign, all thanks to one detail: her voter registration.
🗳️ “Now I Love Her Ad”
During a press stop Sunday evening, Trump was asked about the growing firestorm over Sweeney’s “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” campaign — a shoot that’s been blasted on TikTok for its alleged racial overtones. But the conversation took a sharp turn when a reporter dropped a bombshell:
Sydney is reportedly a registered Republican.
Trump’s eyes lit up. His reaction?
“Now I love her ad,” he said, with a wide grin.
👀 Trump: “You’d Be Surprised Who’s Republican”
The 47th president doubled down on his new fandom, saying:
“If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”
He 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.”
🎯 From Cancel Culture to Campaign Hype
Sweeney’s American Eagle ad has become a cultural flashpoint, with critics accusing the brand of subtle racial messaging and “whitewashing” Americana aesthetics. Despite the backlash, AE has stood by Sweeney, insisting the campaign is just about jeans and her personal story.
Now, with Trump’s endorsement, the ad has officially crossed into political territory.
🇺🇸 Sydney’s Star Power Meets Partisan Praise
Trump’s public pivot raises new questions:
- Is Sweeney’s rising stardom being swept into the right-wing culture war?
- Could this GOP reveal reshape her Hollywood trajectory — for better or worse?
So far, the actress hasn’t made any direct political statements, and her team has not confirmed or denied the voter registration reports. But Trump’s words are already fueling conservative celebration and progressive criticism online.
📈 What This Means for AE
Let’s break it down:
- Trump’s endorsement could drive MAGA buyers toward the American Eagle brand.
- But progressive fans may now view the ad — and Sweeney — in an even harsher light.
- Either way, this ad campaign is no longer about fashion. It’s a political football.
👖 TPR Takeaway
In 2025, a denim ad can make headlines for voter registration.
Sydney Sweeney may have great jeans — but now she’s also got a spotlight in the GOP’s culture war narrative.
Whether this helps or hurts her image depends on one thing: how she responds next. Stay quiet? Speak up? Shift the narrative?
Time — and TikTok — will tell.
