Does a hot young actress really want President Trump approving of her? Poor Sydney Sweeney!

Trump, this morning, at Truth Social:

Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the “HOTTEST” ad out there. It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are “flying off the shelves.” Go get ‘em Sydney!

Well, she's selling perfectly ordinary denim. Maybe she'll make being Republican the new thing.

That's from 60 years ago, but it's a line I've never forgotten: "The new thing is to care passionately and be right-wing." In context, of course, he's laughably wrong, and everyone watching that movie knew it. Didn't we? Or did we think watch out, some day that will be true. It's all a matter of time.

Trump's post continues:

On the other side of the ledger, Jaguar did a stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement, THAT IS A TOTAL DISASTER! The CEO just resigned in disgrace, and the company is in absolute turmoil. Who wants to buy a Jaguar after looking at that disgraceful ad. Shouldn’t they have learned a lesson from Bud Lite, which went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company. The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST. Or just look at Woke singer Taylor Swift. 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. The tide has seriously turned — Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

And speaking of Trump on Truth Social, there's also this, which caught my eye...

.. because I thought I saw Bucky Badger. But yes, happy birthday to the Coast Guard.

So..... Yes, she's selling perfectly ordinary denim, but from what I've seen, she's selling a lot of it, a metric sh*t ton with people lining up.

It gets me to thinking back..... When I was a kid it was Beatle wigs. Every kid wanted a Beatle wig, when they first came to America. More recently: When was the last time a fad swept the nation with this kind of frenzy? It hasn't happened since before COVID, I think? Quick: When was the last buying frenzy?

POTUS and shitposter deluxe, all in one.

tim maguire said...

To my knowledge, Sydney Sweeney is simply living her life and is not doing anything to make politics part of her identity.

My politics are my business and I wouldn't want the president (or anybody) throwing me into the mosh pit without my permission.

Ann Althouse said...

To sell something that is perfectly ordinary is *more* of an accomplishment than to sell something truly intriguing or exciting. It is her image and presentation that is selling, not the product. That's why I chose to add "perfectly ordinary."

John henry said...

Has the Sweeney ad actually run on TV?

I read the other day that it has not. Seems hard to believe but neither grok or gemeni could confirm that it had.

They did say that "sever l" networks had banned it.

Has anyone actually seen it on TV?

John Henry

Cappy said...

He's right, you know.

Ann Althouse said...

Somebody looked it up in the public records, apparently, and wrote about it, so now she's stuck with the label and Trump is swooping in and embracing her as one of his own.

FunkyPhD said...

The best scene in the movie. Simon was played by an uncredited Kenneth Haigh, who was a serious London stage actor in the fifties and sixties. He originated the lead role of Jimmy Porter in “Look Back in Anger.” Legend has it that he refused a credit in the film because he feared appearing in a pop musical would ruin his career.

Keldonric said...

It takes real branding genius to wrap globalized supply chains in a flag and a pretty girl.
Well played, American Eagle. Well played.

I don’t even have a problem with it — but you have to admire the irony. People are proudly virtue signaling on social media with imported denim, and the brilliance is in the setup: the campaign leans into imagery the left is likely to criticize, which only deepens the patriotic signaling from the right.

Aggie said...

@darkisland I doubt that is true - but I don't watch TV. If it is true, then American Eagle has scored a huge win, having a viral ad without the expense of paying for screen time. Whatever it cost to hire Sweeney has paid out in spades.

Can the networks survive by alienating both their client base as well as their revenue source? I doubt it.

RideSpaceMountain said...

In another dimension Hugo Boss is bashing his head against some chthonic demiurge realizing the Wehrmacht would've looked more stylish in denim modeled by a hot 20ish Bavarian blonde.

An effing commercial is breaking brains...surreal.

Original Mike said...

".. because I thought I saw Bucky Badger."

Me too.

Kakistocracy said...

I'm surprised to see that Trump is interested in Sydney Sweeney, as she's so much older than his usual victims.

Mark said...

After dismissing the claims that like Epstein, Trump is horny for young women - I am not sure this public fixation with Sydney Sweeney's sexed up ad is helping his argument.

Horny grandpa is not exactly an innocent seeming image for us to think about.

Eva Marie said...

“Maybe she'll make being Republican the new thing.“
That is the best self description of a liberal.

Spiros said...

She's probably looking for a man. And she knows that we think that politically left-leaning women are psychologically unstable and unsuitable partners.

Wince said...

In context, of course, he's laughably wrong, and everyone watching that movie knew it. Didn't we? Or did we think watch out, some day that will be true. It's all a matter of time.

Hard Day's Night was released in 1964.

George Harrison (in the video clip) wrote "Taxman" in 1966.

The song reflects Harrison's frustration with the high taxes imposed by the British Labour government of Harold Wilson, which was taking a large percentage of his income, according to Wikipedia.

Michael Fitzgerald said...

LOL @libtatd Mark! "Sydney Sweeney's sexed up ad"..... She's covered head to toe in thick denim, about as sexy as a union welder. If she was wearing a veil it would be appropriate viewing for Taliban Television. It's the white skin and American flag that has you degenerate, psychotic Party members pissing in your diapers, nothing to do with sex whatsoever.

Men like Trump can’t tell 14 from 21, starting on their 18th birthdays and in the end their only response is to tell you to look at her body like that has anything to do with the fact she’s still underage. For Trump it’s gotta get worse at 80. Sweeny is younger than Ivanka though.

Kaki sure seems to be obsessed with the sexuality of underage women. I'm beginning to think it's more than just a flaccid attempt at deflection.

Fake American products

No, American Eagle jeans are not primarily made in America. While American Eagle Outfitters does have a "Wear America" collection with some jeans made in the USA, the majority of their jeans are manufactured in factories across Asia and Latin America, according to DiZNEW and AEO-Inc. Specific countries where American Eagle jeans are made include China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Mexico, and Honduras, according to DiZNEW.

n.n said...

She's a pretty girl with a fair mind in demand by our pro-Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness conservative demos-cracy. The Democrats will just have to swallow their Jag-ged queer pill and selfie-abort to relieve their "burden" h/t Obama... uh, burden, following progressive principles exercised with liberal license.

The Vault Dweller said...

I don't think Republicans are cool now, but Democrats and wokeness definitely are not. And despite how many folks on the Left feel, Trump is more cool than uncool. Not everyone who spouts leftist lines, especially in Hollywood, media, or are in a public facing position are primarily concerned with advancing the cause. Many folks do this to gain social prestige and advantage. Sydney Sweeney has broadly come off as much cooler and higher social status than her detractors. Trump senses this and is trying to attach that to himself and the Republican brand. If the clout chasers see this as the way the wind is blowing they will stop with their typical parroting of Leftist talking points. If you are unsure about which side is cooler, or at least worse off socially, just ask your young family members who are in High School, or Junior High, which is worse for a kid to be seen as, Woke or MAGA?

Big Mike said...

Maybe she'll make being Republican the new thing.

It already is. Go look at polls by age group. Only the elderly still like Democrats. For how many years did liberal women like you chant that Republicans are we’re trying to fly with “just their right wing”? Now Trump has taken the GOP to the center while the Democrats are trying to fly with just the extreme tip of their left wing.

Wince said...

She looks tariffic in those jeans!

rehajm said...

She’s from Spokane where my wife is from. They grow them hot there…anyways, I’m relishing asymmetry. A seven figure paid for Taylor Swift endorsement is supposed to be the be all end all of electoral victories but a try-to-cancel Sidney because she’s hot and white by outing her politics is a big fat own goal.

JAORE said...

IMO this is a stupid issue. Raised by the hard left nut bars who see images of Hitler in every piece of toast. No that their outrage has been met with derisive laughter they want to deflect to "it's the Right" that is the only ones interested.
Me? I saw a pretty woman selling jeans. I've seen commercials of pretty women selling jeans for decades. That this triggers this kind of dust up is sad.
That our resident hard left want to make this 27 (?) year old woman proof of pedophilia is sick.... as in TDS sick.
And jeans/genes? Feh. Can it be disputed that SS has good genes? How about Halle Berry? Does she have "good genes"? Nope, IMO she has GREAT genes. (In fact, IMO she is several standard deviations up the "good genes in the looks department" ahead of SS.)
But I did have a strong reaction to the commercial where SS is featured with a Mustang GT 350. (At my age I'd rather have the car.)

rehajm said...

Only the elderly still like Democrats

Yah, Ann’s point. See the it was 60 years ago today reference. Ooh sry. So long ago I’m confusing with Sgt Pepper…

planetgeo said...

Althouse: "It is her image and presentation that is selling, not the product."

I think you're missing another key factor in its viral success. Would this ad have worked in the Dark Biden era? The Lightbringer's? I don't think so. At least not to the level we've seen here.

No, timing and circumstances are huge too. It's happening in the Trump/MAGA era. It's counter-revolutionary now. And for the young, Trump has made it cool again to be young, normal, hetero-sexy, and proudly American, babeee! Oh yeah...and Republican too.

So, in your face, Kak and Mark! (Everyone here knows who the real pathetic, projecting, geriatric pedos are.)

Joe Bar said...

OK, I give up. Can someone point out the Badger for me?

And, yes, the ad with the car was best.

Peachy said...

It is a complete embarrassment to be a Democrat.
The Democratic party is a lying Schitt show.

Narr said...

I didn't see George or Bucky.

Amadeus 48 said...

It is impossible to sort out reality from the hype.

S. Sweeney looked great on the pistol range. Her publicity is that she tries to get 26 hours of work out of a 24 hour day. Her hooded, bedroom eyes give her a sexy look to go along with her other attributes, which she is not afraid to show off. She loves that '65 Mustang. Let's face it: she is the latest incarnation (following Doris Day, Grace Kelly, Sandra Dee, Cheryl Tiegs, Christy Brinkley, Kathy Ireland, Kate Upton, etc.) of the All-American girl. Let's hope she stays out of trouble.

RideSpaceMountain said...

My adblocker-fu is black belt level. RSM laughs at their "skip" button. But somehow I know about this despite still not having seen it. What's a guy got to do next? Get a neuralizer from Palantir?

Peachy said...

Howard - most all denim jeans are made outside of the US.

Colleen Brown said...

My favorite scene from A Hard Day's Night!
I love when the secretary picks up the phone and says, "I've got one."
Look at the assistant Adrian when he is trying to talk to Simon. He is mouthing the words "George Harrison.". Trying to tell him that it's really George!
Also love that Simon keeps calling George "Chickie Baby".
Thanks for posting this, Ann. I never get tired of watching it.

Currently, fashion mavens consider Japanese denim to be the best quality.

I never knew that 'grotty' was meant as a kind of slang for 'grotesque'. Learn something new from old movies ! 'Pimply hyperbole' Haw.

And Trump? Who cares about Trump if Sydney is around? He is just another member of the fan club.

The Vault Dweller said...

"Kakistocracy said...

MSNBC did a piece on the Sydney Sweeney ad right after it aired. And Lizzo did put out a tweet of her own with a similar to Sydney's pose, image of herself in denim and a message saying her jeans are black. But I also suspect that most folks on the Left don't really care about the ad that much.

rehajm said...

It truly is the definition of ‘all-in’, innit? It didn’t work, it still isn’t working and yet they keep trying…

Amadeus 48 said...

Kaki--Read a newspaper. She is on the front page of of every US and British publication. Page 3 moves to Page 1. We are all Rupert Murdoch now.

Kaki’s ‘anyone’ is the Democrats i.e. the elderly. Bless their hearts. They’ll catch up in a few weeks, after the trend has passed…

FormerLawClerk said...

Remember when the press in the United States hushed up JFK's affair with Marilyn Monroe? Those were the days, my friends.

Seriously though: Donald J. Trump is arguably the United States' premier expert on top-quality tail. He has grabbed many a pussy in his lifetime of debauchery.

If he thinks you got a fine ass, flaunt it, baby doll.

Kakistocracy said...

I don't know any liberals complaining about it. Only conservatives complaining about how the liberals are upset.

Ron Winkleheimer said...

"Sydney Sweeney has broadly come off as much cooler and higher social status than her detractors."

Apparently left-wing whack jobs are now heckling her in public. Yeah, that will work.
Considering her appearance, she has probably had to deal with jealous mean girls most of her life. Good chance that's why she is a Republican.

Jamie said...

Republicans [were] trying to fly with “just their right wing”? Now Trump has taken the GOP to the center while the Democrats are trying to fly with just the extreme tip of their left wing.

I'd never heard this before, but I was making exactly the same point to my husband the other day (minus the funny metaphor, which I sure wish I'd thought of). Trump, and finally the Republican party is more or less coming along for this, has captured the entirety of the right, plus a certain amount of real estate left of center (I seem to recall some significant trade union support there?) - and not just the voters, but also the actual issues important to those voters. The American Left is left with only its progressive wing. A difficult position, to be sure, but it goes a way toward explaining why they're having so much trouble coming up with a platform.

My husband can somehow stomach that blowhard Cenk Uyghur and listens to Young Turks so I don't have to. Those two are trying to carve out some space for Euro-style socialism without too much woke flavor - and my husband thinks it'll work because young Democrats are (first, urbanized, but also) hopeless and depressed and think they can do nothing to change their lot. What can save them, what can give them even a shadow of the life their parents have, besides a guaranteed job, a UBI, "free" health care, "free" college, "free" housing or heavy subsidies? They won't get rich, but at least the "fact" that increased taxes on the "wealthy" will be how all this is funded will mean that the rich won't get richer. Envy is a powerful motivator.

(Sorry for all the scare quotes. But they are deliberate.)

I hope it won't work - because envy, though a powerful motivator, is also a toxin that eventually destroys everything it infects.

john mosby said...

Trump can also appreciate beauty the way women do - in a non sexual way. I think the Prof has a tag for Trump’s Feminine Side or something like that. Just last week he praised a placekicker for being a beautiful man; adding “ You're a handsome guy, by the way. It's usually not my thing, but he is a good looking sucker,":

Trump is a shrewd marketer. Has been one for decades, since he made himself an icon, and started being famous (and rich) for being famous. He’s the one who made MAGA cool, and successful. Why should we be embarrassed living in, and being citizens of, the greatest country in the world? If you are Gen Z, do you want to associate with the hot kids, or the ugly, loser kids? We saw this last summer and fall, with a bunch of videos with hot girls putting on red MAGA hats and breaking into dances. Of course, they were following the hot guys who had already gone MAGA. And they laugh at the Woke (now unemployed) pink haired obese female and male incel Millennial losers. It’s generational, but going to be with us for a long time. Republicans are now the cool ones, and the Democrats the losers and whiners.

Bruce Hayden said...

Conservatives aren’t complaining about how the liberals are upset. They are celebrating. And enjoying rubbing it in their faces.

buwaya said...

Trump is commenting on marketing, which he is well qualified to do. That was his avocation and his business for a half-century at least.

Jupiter said...

American Eagle is selling a line of jeans called "Syd's Picks". I am guessing she gets a couple bucks for every pair sold, and DJT's enthusiastic endorsement is likely quite welcome.

buwaya said...

There is a genre of right wing podcast/Youtube commentary that lives by collecting idiotic left wing Tiktoks and Youtube videos and commenting (most dont need much commentary) to make their points. L'affaire Sweeney has provided a rich vein of material for these people, which seems to have dried up by now.

doctrev said...

The times, they are a changin back. I don't know why or how Democrats thought of being against politically inoffensive hot blondes, but the NPCs on this post shows this is another 80/ 20 issue that globalism is on the wrong side of, AGAIN.

Kakistocracy said...

“Trump is a shrewd marketer. Has been one for decades, since he made himself an icon, and started being famous (and rich) for being famous.”

This CNBC interview was unhinged. Simply detached from reality. Trump's cognitive function is in severe decline. Why isn't the media all over this like they were with Biden? It's almost as if he doesn't know a thing about anything he speaks about.....except his relationship with Epstein...

Jimmy said...

So an ad with a very pretty girl, selling jeans, and promoting Detroit muscle cars and guns is now a Nazi thing? Wow. Seems likes her critics missed most of the last 50 years of American ads.
Trump is just being Trump- he can't help himself, and it's not a surprise-
Can the holier than thou media cancel her? I don't think she cares, to be honest.
recent numbers of young women who are setting trends and standing up to the mob is wonderful- Not just SS, but those B ball players, Caitlin and Sophie.
So the left hates beautiful real women who take a stand and are outspoken. Noted. I would think the 3 women I mentioned would be cheered by feminists. Seems not to be the case.

How many purple-haired keffiyeh wearing girls in their 20's do you know? Because social media is full of clips of them sitting in their cars or messy bedrooms and shrieking bloody murder about it. One fat black woman I saw was sobbing about it as if her dog had just died. Imagine the effrontery! How DARE they use a fit, pretty blonde girl in an advertisement instead of a fat ugly black woman!

I love the way the Left just cannot let go of these 80/20 (or 90/10) issues. Never change, commie scum.

So pathetic watching you lot trying to switch from shrieking about a pretty girl being a Nazi because she's blond, to claiming to wonder what's wrong with the people reacting to you with the contempt and derision you deserve. The right could never have imagined this commercial as a grievance, because enjoying and celebrating beauty is as natural and unremarkable to us as setting police cars on fire is to the Ingas and Kaks of the world.

Dogma and Pony Show said...

"I don't know why or how Democrats thought of being against politically inoffensive hot blondes. . . ."

I'll tell you why: It's because they are in the grip of totalitarians who don't like that certain people are more successful than others, and who think this can be changed by exerting all manner of social pressure to lift up the people at the bottom and place them at the top. In this instance, they hated that fit, blonde, white women were generally regarded as far more sexually desirable than fat PoCs, and so they embarked on a major gaslighting campaign to get everyone in the fashion and beauty industries to pretend that it was the other way around. It's a form of DEI, but one that happily has now been torn asunder in a manner reminiscent of the toppling of the Berlin Wall.

Dagwood said...

Inga said...

...a lot of garbage, as usual. It isn't the right who called attention to the ads in the first place by claiming that they're promoting ethnic cleansing. As for those shiny new grievances? As in this case, the vast majority of them are responses to the latest bitch-fest from the increasingly unhinged left.

The left wonders what the hell is wrong with these people? Most of us wonder what the hell is wrong with you, hon.

Inga said...

Bgates, of course it’s not the commercial that is a grievance to the right, nor is it a grievance to the left, except in the mind of Trump and his followers. It’s the notion that the vast majority of the left cares about a blond pretty young woman selling jeans that is so damn weird. It’s the right that wants to imagine the left in an uproar. The left Does. Not. Care.

We've seen the end game of allowing such corrosive emotionalism to infect politics. It's when a zek in a Soviet gulag in 1938 is denounced by his fellow inmates for hoarding two crusts of bread when they have only one, and is taken out and shot for it.

It's important to mock and belittle those with this mindset, likening them to selfish, lazy, foolish teenage girls, and work to excise them entirely out of politics and government.

“Inga is, no doubt, consumed with the front page unraveling of her Russia Russia Russia hoax.”

Just another example of the right desperately grasping onto another narrative that is completely created by those desperate to distract. There is no “unraveling”, except in the minds of those who need Trumpism to not collapse under the weight of the Trump/Epstein scandal. Trump/Epstein came first, then Trump’s minions reached into Trump’s fever dreams and tried to make the “Durham Annex” a reality. It’s fake, what you imagine is there is not. Now they create another circus attraction about Sweeney and jeans. Oh brother.

Durham’s report was supposed to have hoards of Democrats being sent to GTMO. Didn't happen then, won’t happen now. So what’s the next thing on the agenda to distract the Cult?

Mr. T. said...

LeftyMark and Kak/Richsockpuppet/paidActbluetroll are just mad that Sweeney doesnt have a septum piercing. And blue hair. And a penis.

William said...

She stars with Julianne Moore in the movie Echo Valley. In that movie, she plays a skanky junkie complete with arm scabs. I gave up watching after about a half hour. Admittedly, she was credible in the role, but I've no interest in watching a skanky drug addict fight with her mother. I think this ad will do more for her career than than the intense scenes in that movie.....She has a likable face. She's not so serenely beautiful as Garbo or Grace Kelly, nor is her expression as insouciant as Bardot's, but whatever it is, it works......I'd like to see her in a remake of the movie Showgirls. I think she'd bring a lot more to that kind of role than she does to the role of a skanky drug addict.

I have the feeling that Sydney Sweeney does not feel “stuck” in the least. She’s probably too big to cancel and has too much money to care. There is a lovely little reel going around of her shooting a pistol. The girl’s got it going in!

Yeah, American Eagle owes that BuzzFeed News reporter a fruit basket.
They mention Sydney Sweeney’s a registered Republican, the president lights up, the ad goes viral again, and the stock jumps 24% in a day.
That’s not just PR — that’s compound tribal signaling with market returns.

I just love watching how things like this play out — the way one stray fact can set off a whole cultural and financial chain reaction.

I'd never heard of this person before you dumbshits started calling her a Nazi.

I never heard of her until YOU people kept mentioning her and some commercial she did. Who the fuck cares? The left Does.Not.Care.

However the continuous episodes of rightists getting all butt hurt over somebody supposedly calling her a Nazi and other daily or weekly “outrages” is weird. Truly, the vast majority of people on the left think you folks are snowflakes pretending to be a blizzard.

You're the ones who started the screaming, dumbass. Don't get pissed off because we're mocking your insanity.

Inga said...

No Jim, you nutballs are the ones who started giving her lots of social media attention about some comments by a very few people about her commercial. The vast majority of people on the left did not know about this supposed besmirching of her or even WHO she is until you folks on the right and Trump made a huge issue out of it. The left Does.Not.Give.A.Shit about Sweeney or her commercial, despite how much you wish we did.

Inga, you misunderstood me. That was advice but not a wish for you to stop.Please, please don’t stop. Too much entertainment value.
Also, I love “The left Does.Not.Give.A.Shit about Sweeney or her commercial”. (said through gritted teeth, no doubt)
Please, please say this again and again and again (in various forms as only you know how) So much fun.

the last time the orcs reacted this was with Riley Gaines, and she was just a swimmer, trying to get ahead,

and about 17 years ago, they had another visceral reaction, from the likes of sandra bernhardt and even puff daddy back then,

Don't you know that posting videos of progressive nutballs isn't proof of anything. Nobody gave a shit about Sydney Sweeney until Magaland starting posting such evidence.

well there were the cringeworthy videos of madame webb, but that wasn't her fault, but her agent,

"FormerLawClerk strikes again: “He (Trump) has grabbed many a pussy in his lifetime of debauchery.”"

Never a dry one.

You lot seem to care quite a lot, Inger.
