President Donald Trump called Sydney Sweeney's ad for American Eagle the '

SCANDAL ROCKS HOLLYWOOD: SYDNEY SWEENEY UNDER FIRE FOR AMERICAN EAGLE AD, TAYLOR SWIFT'S FAME FALTERS

In a shocking turn of events, actress Sydney Sweeney has found herself at the center of a raging controversy over her new ad for American Eagle. The stunning blonde's campaign, which features the provocative tagline "Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans," has been slammed by critics as "racially charged" and eerily reminiscent of Nazi propaganda.

The backlash against Sweeney has sparked a heated debate about free speech, cultural appropriation, and the role of celebrities in perpetuating societal ills. But one person who is not buying into the hate is none other than former President Donald Trump, who took to his Truth Social platform on Monday morning to defend Sweeney and slam her critics.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social Monday morning to share his newfound appreciation for actress Sydney Sweeney, who he complimented after finding out she registered as a Republican in 2024

"Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there," Trump declared, praising the actress's "fantastic" campaign. "It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!"

But Trump wasn't just stopping at defending Sweeney – he also took aim at Taylor Swift, who has been a vocal supporter of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. In a scathing attack, Trump accused Swift of being "woke" and "over."

"Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift," Trump sneered. "Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on TRUTH that I can't stand her (HATE!). She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, NO LONGER HOT!"

Trump's comments come amidst a growing trend of celebrities speaking out against woke culture and its perceived influence on society. The former President has long been a vocal critic of what he sees as the "woke mafia," and it seems that his latest attack on Swift is just another salvo in this ongoing battle.

But not everyone is buying into Trump's claims. Taylor Swift's spokesperson, Tree Paine, fired back at the ex-President's comments, pointing out that Swift remains one of the most popular and influential artists in the world. According to Paine, Swift accounts for a staggering 2% of the entire U.S. music market – a feat that few other artists can match.

But Trump wasn't having it. "Being WOKE is for losers," he declared. "Being Republican is what you want to be!"

President Donald Trump was asked Sunday night by the Daily Mail for his reaction to actress Sydney Sweeney being registered as a Republican. 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic,' he said

And as for Sweeney's ad, Trump seemed to think that it was nothing more than a clever marketing ploy. "You'd be surprised at how many people are Republican," he said with a sly smile. "That's one 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."

It seems that Trump has once again weighed in on the latest celebrity controversy – and it's clear that he's not afraid to speak his mind.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF SYDNEY SWEENEY'S CONTROVERSY

Actress Sydney Sweeney has been at the center of a heated debate over her new ad for American Eagle. The campaign, which features Sweeney wearing various outfits and touting the brand's jeans as "great," has been slammed by critics as "racially charged" and eerily reminiscent of Nazi propaganda.

But this isn't the first time that Sweeney has found herself in hot water. In June 2024, it was revealed that the actress had registered to vote as a Republican – news that sparked both praise and criticism from her fans and followers.

The controversy surrounding Sweeney's ad is just the latest in a long line of celebrity scandals that have rocked Hollywood in recent years. From Kanye West's infamous "Slave Masters" jacket to Taylor Swift's very public feuds with other stars, it seems like there's always something brewing in Tinseltown.

A LOOK AT TAYLOR SWIFT'S FADING STAR

Taylor Swift has long been one of the most beloved and influential artists in the world – but her reputation may be starting to take a hit. According to sources close to the singer, Swift's popularity has begun to wane in recent months, thanks in part to her vocal support for President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

But it's not just her politics that have sparked controversy – Swift's fashion choices have also come under fire. Her latest music video, which features a slew of androgynous models and zero cars, has been compared to the infamous "Bud Light 2.0" ad that sparked a similar backlash earlier this year.

JAGUAR'S WOKE AD: A LOOK AT THE CONTROVERSY

The controversy surrounding Jaguar's latest ad is just one of many examples of how woke culture is shaping the way we think about advertising and media. The ad, which features a slew of androgynous models and zero cars, has been compared to the infamous "Bud Light 2.0" campaign that sparked a similar backlash earlier this year.

But not everyone is buying into the hate. According to sources close to the brand, Jaguar's ad was intended to be a bold statement about diversity and inclusion – and it seems like the company may have succeeded in sparking a necessary conversation about these issues.

As for Trump's comments on Swift and Sweeney, only time will tell how this controversy plays out. But one thing is clear: in the world of Hollywood, nothing is ever as simple as it seems.
