According to him, the ad is currently the hottest thing, and her influence is making the jeans fly off the shelves."

He also took several jabs at Jaguar CEO and Bud Life, who, in his words, experienced "absolute turmoil" and unprecedented destruction due to their "disgraceful ad" and their decision to go woke. 

The politician did not end his essay without slamming Swift once again, by writing: "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."

Sweeney's case is not the first time Trump has said something about Swift's career, choices, and looks. As seen on The Blast, he got on his Truth Social platform to spit bile on Swift's looks and register his dislike for the talented singer.

Making himself the center of attention as always, Trump proudly boasted that ever since he publicly declared that he disliked the artist, "she's no longer 'HOT?"'

For someone who had earlier described her as very beautiful two years ago in an interview, shortly before the election campaign peaked, Trump's 180 was very intriguing.

The public was quick to connect the dots between Trump's reinvigorated hatred for the singer and her very controversial and public declaration of support for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz on Instagram.

Filled with gratitude for that information and the addition to his party, Trump commended the actress for picking that side, and expressed his newly found admiration for the commercial.

As shared by The Blast, many fans who got clips of the interview and Trump's positive comment about Sweeney's politics were not elated. Some commenters described it as a bad omen for Trump to approve anyone in Hollywood, likening it to a serious career suicide.

American Eagle has since responded to the critics following the advertisement and Sweeney's utterances, reaffirming that it carried zero traces of racism or white supremacy. The company noted that the ad is simply a celebration of confidence and awareness that their jeans look good on everyone.

The flames of Sweeney's displeasing ad (according to public opinion) fanned brightly even at the red carpet event for the premiere of her latest movie, "Americana."

TMZ reported that as she prepared to make her way into Desert 5 Spot, the venue for the event, from her vehicle, she was confronted by a heckler, who reminded her of the ad and how people felt about it.

"Stop that ad, that is being racist," the heckler screamed at the actress, who eventually walked in unbothered in her yellow princess-style dress with a corset top and tulle bottoms.

Sweeney paired her look with a matching yellow headband to hold her flowing blonde, shoulder-length tresses in place.

The "Truth Hurts" singer reacted to the ad more humorously, although she still managed to get her points across, registering with dozens of people who found the commercial racially offensive.

Lizzo shared an AI image of herself dressed in denim and posing in the studio with an in-text caption that read "if the Democrats won the election."

She also stated in the main caption that "My genes are black," a reference to the ongoing discourse on the word play with "Jeans" and "Genes" as used by the actress in the commercial.

The actress quoted in the video, "Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color... My 'jeans' are blue."

Beyond the alleged racial undertones spotted in the ad by observers, social media users also slammed it as being tone deaf. They declared that the company decided to promote their brand by sexualizing the actress rather than raising awareness about its plan to raise support for domestic violence survivors.
