Just when I thought there was nothing left to say about American Eagle's controversial jeans ad featuring Sydney Sweeney, along comes Donald Trump with the ultimate statement on the situation. Over the last few days the ad faced criticism for, with its punny 'Sydney Sweeney has great genes' tagline, promoting eugenics.
While the story appeared to be fading from the news cycle, last night Trump took to Truth Social, publishing a post (or as they are known on the platform, a 'Truth'), offering his take on Sweeney's ad, and advertising in general.
