00:00President Donald Trump is weighing in on reports that Sidney Sweeney is a registered Republican
00:04in the wake of her controversial American Eagle jeans campaign.
00:09Citing public records, The Guardian reported over the weekend that Sweeney registered with
00:13the GOP last June in Florida. The Euphoria actress has not commented on the reports.
00:19Trump was asked about the story while taking questions from reporters in Pennsylvania on
00:23Sunday. He responded, she's a registered Republican. Oh, now I love her ad. Is that
00:28right? Sidney Sweeney. You'd be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That's what I wouldn't
00:33have known, but I'm glad you told me that. If Sidney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad
00:38is fantastic. Then on Monday, Trump took to Truth Social to write, Sidney Sweeney, a registered
00:43Republican, has the hottest ad out there. It's for American Eagle and the jeans are flying off the
00:48shelves. Go get him, Sidney. Trump then used the post as an opportunity to slam Jaguar for, quote,
00:53a stupid and seriously woke advertisement and Taylor Swift saying, or just look at woke singer
00:59Taylor Swift. Ever since I alerted the world as to what she was by saying on truth that I can't
01:04stand her, hate, she was booed out of the Super Bowl and became no longer hot. The tide is seriously
01:10turned. Being woke is for losers. Being Republican is what you want to be. This news follows American
01:15Eagle breaking its silence on the backlash. On Friday, the company shared a statement on Instagram
01:19that read, Sidney Sweeney has great jeans is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans, her story.
01:26We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence their way. Great
01:31jeans look good on everyone. Sweeney has not responded to the uproar, but on Sunday, she made a public
01:36appearance attending a special screening of her film Americana, which will be released this month.
