He’s tipping his red cap.
President Trump on Sunday praised Sydney Sweeney after learning she’s a registered Republican – a political bombshell that dropped as a woke mob continues to torch the actress over her American Eagle jeans ad.
Trump, 79, reacted with glee after a reporter told him the 27-year-old “Euphoria” actress shares his right-leaning views, adding that he now finds her controversial new denim campaign “fantastic.”
“Oh, now I love her ad,” he told a gaggle of reporters before boarding Air Force One in Allentown, Pa.
“You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That’s one I wouldn’t have known but I’m glad you told me that.
“If Sydney Sweeny is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”
The “White Lotus” starlet has been registered with the Republican Party of Florida in Monroe County since June 2024, according to public voter records viewed by The Post.
The blonde-haired, blue-eyed actress’s conservative stripes were revealed Saturday as she faces relentless backlash ignited by left-wing critics comparing the clothing retailer’s sultry ad to “Nazi propaganda” that promotes racism and eugenics.
The tagline for the marketing campaign is: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”
In one promotional clip, Sweeney explains that genes are passed down from parents to offspring “often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color,” before declaring, “my jeans are blue.”
In another clever ad, the actress approaches a billboard featuring her image and the phrase, “Sydney Sweeney has great genes,” which she then alters by crossing out “genes” and replacing it with “jeans.”
The campaign sparked a social media frenzy this week over Western beauty standards and race, prompting American Eagle to defend its marketing approach and the “Anyone But You” star.
Other White House officials have also come out mocking the outraged liberal haters, including Steven Cheung, Trump’s communications director, who on Tuesday dragged the bizarre backlash as “cancel culture run amok.”
Vice President JD Vance also ripped Democrats for becoming unhinged over a “pretty girl” selling jeans to kids in America.
“My political advice to the Democrats is: continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive that they’re a Nazi,” Vance said on Friday’s episode of the “Ruthless” podcast.
“That appears to be their actual strategy. So you have a pretty girl doing a jeans ad and they can’t help but freak out. It reveals a lot more about them than it does us.”
Sweeney herself has yet to respond to the public reaction.
