Trump Defends Sydney Sweeney’s Controversial Jeans Ad — It’s 'Fantastic' Because She’s a Republican

U.S. President Donald Trump is under fire after praising actress Sydney Sweeney’s controversial American Eagle jeans ad — one critics are calling a "white supremacist dog whistle." Trump called the ad “fantastic” during a media interaction, but only after being informed that Sweeney is a registered Republican voter in Florida.

The ad, which uses the pun “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” has been accused of having racial undertones and promoting problematic narratives.

Online backlash exploded, yet Trump doubled down on his support, further politicizing the already heated campaign.

This isn’t the first time Sweeney’s political affiliations have made headlines.

From her MAGA-themed family party photos to her current GOP registration, the actress is quickly becoming a lightning rod in Hollywood’s culture wars.

Watch the full video to see how fashion, politics, and celebrity culture collided — and why Trump’s comments may have made it worse.

All Out War With Putin: Trump Sends 3,350 HUGE Missiles To Ukraine Warns Russia Dangerous Escalation

In a move set to escalate the conflict, the United States has approved the sale of 3,350 air-launched ERAM cruise missiles to Ukraine, according to the Wall Street Journal. With a range of up to 280 miles, the missiles could enable Kyiv to strike deep into Russian territory. Deliveries are expected by the end of 2025, though some shipments may arrive in just six weeks. Reports indicate Ukraine will need Pentagon approval before launching the weapons. President Donald Trump, who previously criticized unconditional aid to Kyiv, recently warned Ukraine has “no chance of winning” without long-range strike capability. NATO allies, especially France and Germany, are backing further weapons deliveries as part of post-war security guarantees, even as Russia insists Western military aid blocks peace. The missile deal highlights the growing stakes in Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II. #UkraineWar #CruiseMissiles #USEscalation #TrumpUkraine #RussiaUkraineWar #MissileDeal #USUkraine #NATO #UkraineConflict #MilitaryAid #UkraineNews #Pentagon #UkraineDefense #UkraineCrisis #RussiaWar #TrumpNews #SecurityGuarantees #UkraineMilitary #Geopolitics #WarUpdate ~HT.410~ED.103~GR.124~

Anti-Netanyahu Protest in Israel: Hostage Families Appeal Directly to Trump—‘Last Chance to Save...’

Israelis are taking to the streets in massive protests, demanding a hostage release deal with Hamas before it’s too late. From chants in Tel Aviv’s Hostages Square to anti-war rallies across the country, families accuse Prime Minister Netanyahu of sacrificing captives as he pushes ahead with a Gaza City offensive. Hamas has already agreed to a phased ceasefire deal, but Netanyahu insists on tougher conditions — leaving the hostages’ fate hanging by a thread.

‘Newscum is Destroying California’ | Trump hits out at Newsom as California Guv’s ratings Skyrocket

The feud between Donald Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom is intensifying as both exchange sharp attacks. Trump labeled Newsom “the man destroying California” and mocked him as “Newscum,” claiming he trails in polls. However, a new Echelon Insights survey shows Newsom surging to 13% support among Democratic voters for 2028, up from 4% in April, second only to Kamala Harris. Newsom’s aggressive strategy—directly mocking Trump on social media—has boosted his national profile, fueling speculation about his presidential ambitions. #TrumpVsNewsom #GavinNewsom #DonaldTrump #USPolitics #2028Election #Democrats #Republicans #PoliticalShowdown #Polls #NewsomSurge #KamalaHarris #TrumpAttack #Election2028 #BreakingNews #PoliticalFeud #NewsomRising #USPresidentialRace #NewsomVsTrump #PoliticalDrama #TrumpNewsom #CampaignTrail #NewsomForPresident #TrumpClash #ElectionPolls #SocialMediaPolitics Also Read Amid Trump Tariffs, Jaishankar Urges Stronger India-Russia Trade :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/amid-trump-tariffs-jaishankar-urges-stronger-india-russia-trade-011-7836083.html?ref=DMDesc US Imposed Sanctions On India To End Russia-Ukraine War, More Tariffs If Trump-Putin Talks Fail :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-imposed-sanctions-on-india-to-end-russia-ukraine-war-more-tariffs-if-trump-putin-talks-fail-7835021.html?ref=DMDesc Trump To Arrange Face-To-Face Meeting Between Putin And Ukraine's Zelenskyy :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/trump-to-arrange-face-to-face-meeting-between-putin-and-ukraines-zelenskyy-7833925.html?ref=DMDesc

Musk’s New Party ‘DEAD ON ARRIVAL’? Billionaire Cancels Key Meetings, America Party Plans COLLAPSE

Elon Musk’s much-hyped new political party has reportedly stalled just two months after its launch. Sources say Musk is retreating amid GOP pushback, fearing damage to ties with Republican leadership, especially VP JD Vance. The Tesla billionaire has suspended meetings, distanced himself from allies like Andrew Yang, and shifted focus back to Republican politics. Despite once pledging millions for his own party, Musk may now redirect support toward Vance’s 2028 White House run. Critics argue Musk lacks the credibility and infrastructure to build a lasting third-party force. #ElonMusk #MuskParty #Politics #USPolitics #Republicans #JDVance #Trump #ThirdParty #PoliticalNews #Musk2028 #AmericaPAC #RogerStone #AndrewYang #Election2028 #GOP #PoliticalShift #MuskVsTrump #BreakingNews #TeslaCEO #PoliticalDrama #Campaign2028 #ElectionNews #MuskBacksVance #WhiteHouseRace #PoliticalPower #MuskPAC #USNews #ElectionBattle #ThirdPartyFail #PoliticalComeback ~ED.420~HT.408~

‘Don’t stick your knife…’ MAGA Camp’s Shocking Plea To Get Elon Musk Back | Urges Reconciliation

A surprising twist is unfolding in U.S. politics — prominent MAGA figures are calling for Elon Musk’s return to their fold. Vice President JD Vance, strategist Roger Stone, and activists like Scott Presler are urging reconciliation despite Musk’s past feud with Donald Trump over the “Big Beautiful Bill” and his talk of forming a third party. They say Musk’s vast resources were pivotal to Trump’s 2024 victory, and could be decisive for the 2026 midterms. MAGA Inc has already raised $177 million in 2025, but leaders see Musk as the ultimate game-changer — their “George Soros of the Right.” Musk hasn’t spoken about his “America Party” in weeks and even donated $15 million to the GOP in June. He has recently supported Trump’s calls to federalize D.C. policing. The push for a full political reunion is intensifying. #MAGA #ElonMusk #DonaldTrump #JDVance #RogerStone #USPolitics #MidtermElections #MAGAInc #PoliticalDonations #AmericaParty #ScottPresler #AlexJones #Republicans #GOP #TrumpMusk #PoliticalComeback #Election2026 #GeorgeSoros #RightWing #PoliticalDrama ~HT.410~GR.122~ED.103~

Zelensky’s Next Meeting with Trump: Suit, Camo, or Surrender? MAGA Media Obsessed with Clothes

As the Ukraine war drags on, MAGA media is fixated not on Putin’s missiles or mass graves, but on Volodymyr Zelensky’s wardrobe. After mocking him for wearing military camo in the Oval Office, pro-Trump pundits now demand he show up in a suit for his next meeting with Donald Trump. But can a change of clothes decide the future of a war that has killed tens of thousands? While Russia launches missiles and claims battlefield gains, American media debates Zelensky’s pants more than Ukraine’s survival. #Zelensky #Trump #Putin #UkraineWar #MAGA #USPolitics #RussiaUkraine #MediaBias #WorldNews #Geopolitics ~PR.274~HT.408~ED.103~

‘Israel First’? Steve Bannon Slams Trump as MAGA Camp Erupts Over His ‘Bibi First’ Gaza War Policy [Video]

‘Israel First’? Steve Bannon Slams Trump as MAGA Camp Erupts Over His ‘Bibi First’ Gaza War Policy

A political firestorm erupted after former Trump strategist Steve Bannon publicly slammed Donald Trump for allegedly prioritizing Israel over American interests. Bannon’s fury followed the release of a now-altered Trump policy memo which originally included a controversial clause — denying federal disaster aid to U.S. states that boycott Israel. That clause has since been removed, according to documents shared by conservative influencer Charlie Kirk. However, states will still be required to dismantle certain DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) programs — particularly those perceived as anti-white — to access $1.9 billion in federal emergency funding. Bannon blasted Trump, branding him "Israel First" and accusing him of betraying America First values. The explosive memo and its quiet revisions have ignited debates within Trump’s own base, exposing fractures over foreign loyalty, funding conditions, and the 2024 campaign's ideological direction. #TrumpMemo #SteveBannon #IsraelFunding #DisasterAidControversy #DEIban #AntiBDS #CharlieKirk #IsraelFirst #BannonVsTrump #MemoLeak #Trump2024 #DEIcontroversy #AmericaFirst #GOPDivide #TrumpBacklash #FundingScandal #EmergencyAidPolitics #BDSban #TrumpPolicyChange #USIsraelRelations ~HT.318~

Trump Praises Laura Loomer Amid MAGA Crisis As She Launches Tip Line To Purge ‘Disloyal’ Officials [Video]

Trump Praises Laura Loomer Amid MAGA Crisis As She Launches Tip Line To Purge ‘Disloyal’ Officials

As MAGA infighting deepens, Donald Trump has publicly praised far-right activist Laura Loomer, calling her a “very nice person” and a “patriot” in response to a reporter's pointed question about her influence in his circle. The endorsement comes amid Loomer's own controversy — she recently unveiled a “tip line” aimed at helping Trump allies report and remove “disloyal” government staffers. Loomer claims Biden holdovers and anti-Trump insiders are sabotaging the movement from within and insists “hundreds” need to be purged. The president's warm words about her raise eyebrows, especially as he attempts to consolidate power ahead of the upcoming election. Loomer’s call for a MAGA-only government has sparked concern across Washington, while Trump appears to embrace her ideology. Critics see the move as a dangerous precedent, while supporters argue it's a long-overdue loyalty check. The line between activism and influence seems blurrier than ever inside Trump’s inner circle. #Trump #LauraLoomer #MAGA #TipLine #WhiteHouse #PoliticalPurge #DisloyalStaffers #Trump2024 #RadicalRight #DonaldTrump #FederalGovernment #BidenHoldovers #LoyaltyPurge #TrumpAdmin #FarRightPolitics #ConservativeActivism #MAGAInfighting #Patriotism #DeepState #Politico
