Sydney Sweeney's Surprising Political Twist: From Euphoria to Trump World

Sydney Sweeney is back in the news again after make headlines last week. The 27-year-old Euphoria veteran was seen in an old shooting range video that has been dug up by fans

Sydney Sweeney: The Rising Star's Scorching Hot Controversy

Get ready for a juicy dose of Hollywood drama, because Sydney Sweeney is at it again! The 27-year-old Euphoria sensation has been making headlines with her sizzling ads for American Eagle, but this time, she's caught the attention of none other than President Donald Trump himself.

The controversy surrounding Sweeney's "great genes" ad campaign has sparked a firestorm on social media, with some calling it "Nazi propaganda" and others branding it as a harmless denim promotion. But what exactly is going on here?

The clip has now gone viral as it presented how well she can handle a gun; her choice was a Glock. In this old video of Sweeney shooting a gun, it's clear she is comfortable with the assault weapon as she is quick to load, aim and fire, even doing impressive 'double taps'

It all started when Sydney Sweeney registered as a Republican in Florida last June, sending shockwaves through the entertainment industry. And then, just like that, a video of her shooting range skills surfaced online, showing off her impressive handgun skills with a semi-automatic Glock pistol.

But let's get back to the ad campaign that's got everyone talking. The "great genes" ads feature Sweeney proudly showcasing her blue-eyed, blonde-haired beauty in a series of denim-clad ensembles. She even gets philosophical about it, saying, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color... my genes are blue!"

Sounds innocent enough, right? But some critics have taken issue with the ad's underlying message, accusing American Eagle of promoting eugenics and white supremacy. Yes, you read that correctly – eugenics!

The backlash has been swift and severe, with some calling for a boycott of American Eagle products. But others are coming to Sweeney's defense, saying the criticism is "unhinged" and that she's just promoting jeans, not manifestos.

President Trump Weighs In

In an unexpected turn of events, President Donald Trump has weighed in on the controversy, telling The Scholarly Note.com that he loves Sweeney's ad now that he knows she's a registered Republican. "Oh, now I love her ad," he said. "You'd be surprised at how many people are Republican. That's one I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that."

She wore a surfer shirt that was knotted in front with black leggings and glasses

Trump continued, "If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic." And there you have it – the President of the United States endorsing Sweeney's ad campaign.

Sydney's Response

When reached for comment, Sweeney's team had no response. But in a July 23 news release about the fall campaign, Sweeney gushed about American Eagle, saying, "There is something so effortless about American Eagle." She continued, "It's the perfect balance of being put-together but still feeling like yourself."

In a series of images, the Spokane, Washington-born beauty - who is set to play boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic - is seen modeling a variety of denim-based ensembles

The Euphoria star wrapped up by saying, "They have literally been there with me through every version of myself." Ah, Sweeney, you're a true Hollywood darling!

American Eagle Speaks Out

In an effort to defend its ad campaign, American Eagle's president Jennifer Foyle opened up about the promotion. "This fall season, American Eagle is celebrating what makes our brand iconic – trendsetting denim that leads, never follows," she said.

Also this weekend, the beauty was seen at a screening for her new film Americana. She wore a Cinderella look with a gown that had a sweetheart neckline as her dark blonde hair was held back by a yellow headband

Foyle explained why Sweeney made for the perfect focal point of the promotion, saying, "With Sydney Sweeney front and center, she brings the allure, and we add the flawless wardrobe for the winning combo of ease, attitude and a little mischief."

But what about the charitable aspect of the ad campaign? American Eagle is working with Crisis Text Line to provide grants for mental health support and crisis intervention. Proceeds from a special edition of The Sydney Jean will be donated to the organization.

TikTok Takes Sides

On TikTok, users have been weighing in on the controversy, with some calling it "Nazi propaganda" and others saying it's just a harmless denim promotion. One user quipped, "It's giving 'Subtle 1930's Germany'."

But don't worry, folks – not everyone is buying into the drama. Some are coming to Sweeney's defense, saying she's just promoting jeans, not manifestos.

The Verdict

So what do you think? Is Sydney Sweeney's ad campaign a harmless denim promotion or a sinister eugenics-promoting campaign? Let us know in the comments!

As for President Trump, it seems he's given his seal of approval to Sweeney's ad campaign. But will this controversy spell the end of her career? Only time will tell.
