President Donald Trump on Sunday reacted to the news that actor Sydney Sweeney, whose appearance in a new and controversial American Eagle ad has stirred criticism, is a registered Republican voter.
When Sweeney registered to vote in Florida in June 2024, nearly five months before Trump’s victory in last year’s presidential race, she listed her party affiliation as Republican, according to public records reviewed by BuzzFeed.
Asked to offer his reaction to the news, Trump said: “Oh, now I love her ad.”
“You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans,” Trump continued. “If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”
Sweeney has yet to comment on the revelation.
