On Monday, former President Donald Trump revealed his thoughts about a new American Eagle ad featuring actress Sydney Sweeney. He praised the ad and also took shots at singer Taylor Swift and some big brands he said have become too “woke.”
Trump posted on Truth Social that Sydney Sweeney, who is a registered Republican, is in what he called the “hottest” ad right now. He said the jeans are selling fast and told people to go out and buy them. He said people on the left are upset about the ad, but he thinks it’s a big win for American Eagle.
Trump then talked about brands like Jaguar and Bud Light. He said their ads were too focused on “woke” messages and that this hurt their businesses. He said, “Who wants to buy a Jaguar after that disgraceful ad?” and mentioned how Bud Light lost support after its ad campaign. Trump believes these companies made a mistake by trying to please certain political groups instead of their regular customers.
He also criticized Taylor Swift, saying she isn’t as popular anymore. Trump claimed that after he posted about disliking her, she was booed at the Super Bowl and people lost interest in her. He said, “She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became, no longer hot.”
Trump ended his post by saying that being “woke” is for losers and that being a Republican is better. He thanked people for paying attention to what he said.
His comments have gotten a lot of attention online. Some people agree with him and support Sydney Sweeney’s ad. Others think he was being too harsh, especially toward Taylor Swift. The debate shows how celebrities, politics, and advertising are closely linked in today’s culture.
