Donald Trump Responds To Latest Twist In Sydney Sweeney Controversy

Donald Trump and Sydney SweeneyIn a lamentably predictable turn of events, Donald Trump has voiced his support for Sydney Sweeney, after being informed of reports claiming she has been a registered Republican since last year.On Sunday, the US leader spoke to reporters before boarding Air Force One, where one of them asked his opinion on the controversy the Euphoria star has found herself at the centre of in the last few weeks.For those who’ve missed this saga, the White Lotus actor faced scrutiny when her new denim ad campaign with American Eagle was unveiled, which made use of the slogan: “Sydney Sweeney has good genes.”One video in particular saw Sydney – who has blonde hair and blue eyes – explaining: “Genes are passed down from parent to offspring, often determining traits like eye colour, personality, and even hair colour. My jeans are blue.”Many critics felt this language leant a little too close for comfort to language used by white supremacists and eugenicists, with others suggesting it was simply tone-deaf in the current political climate.Since then, it’s been alleged in the press that Sydney registered as a Republican Party member in the run-up to the 2024 presidential election, according to publicly available voter registration records seen by BuzzFeed.When this was brought to Trump’s attention, he responded: “I’m glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”Trump’s director of communications Steven Cheung previously described the furore as “cancel culture run amok” writing on X: “This warped, moronic, and dense liberal thinking is a big reason why Americans voted the way they did in 2024. They’re tired of this bullshit.”American Eagle also addressed the debate in a statement on its Instagram account.“‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story,” the brand insisted.“We’ll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.”READ MORE:Sydney Sweeney Is Facing A Backlash Over Her New American Eagle Campaign.
