Trump Weighs In On Sydney Sweeney, Amid Far-left Hysteria Over American Eagle, Dunkin' Donuts Ads

President Donald Trump praised the American Eagle advertisement campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, stating she is a registered Republican and calling the ad "the HOTTEST ad out there" in a Truth Social post Monday. He highlighted other figures and brands he associates with "woke" messaging, including pop singer Taylor Swift, and Jaguar and Bud Light, claiming their ad campaigns were disastrous and led to massive financial losses.

The American Eagle ad, launched July 23, features Sweeney in a denim campaign with the tagline “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,” playing on the homophone “jeans” and “genes.” In the ad, Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue,” as the camera highlights her blue eyes.

The ad’s controversy led to a 20%+ surge in American Eagle’s stock, reversing a prior slump, with shares up 17-23% by mid-afternoon. American Eagle defended the campaign, stating on Instagram, “‘Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans’ is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story.” Sweeney has not publicly commented on the backlash or her voter registration.

The ad sparked 'woke' far-left hysteria, with some critics alleging the ad promotes eugenics or white supremacist undertones due to its focus on Sweeney’s blonde hair and blue eyes, while supporters, including Trump, celebrated it as a pushback against “woke” culture which promotes abortion, ugly and fat women.

Supporters like Vice President JD Vance and Senator Ted Cruz mocked critics, with Vance joking on the Ruthless podcast, “My political advice to the Democrats is continue to tell everybody who thinks Sydney Sweeney is attractive is a Nazi.” The campaign’s viral nature boosted American Eagle’s visibility, with Google Trends showing peak search interest in over 20 years, though its impact on sales remains unclear pending upcoming earnings reports.

Trump’s endorsement came after reports, that Sweeney registered as a Republican in Monroe County, Florida, in June 2024, around the time she purchased a $13.5 million home in the Florida Keys. He expressed delight upon learning this, saying on Sunday, to reporters in Pennsylvania, “She’s a registered Republican? Oh, now I love her ad… You’d be surprised how many people are Republicans.”

The President used the ad's success to argue against what he described as "woke" corporate messaging, contrasting it with the perceived failures of other brands. He criticized Jaguar for a "stupid, and seriously WOKE advertisement" from 2024, which he claimed led to the resignation of its CEO, Adrian Mardell, and caused "absolute turmoil" within the company He also referenced Bud Light's 2023 partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, asserting that the campaign "went Woke and essentially destroyed, in a short campaign, the Company," resulting in "BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST"

"Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there," Trump wrote on Truth Social. "It’s for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying of the shelves.' Go get ‘em Sydney! 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!"

Swift was booed at the Super Bowl last year while attending the game to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce against the Eagles. Some fans booed when she was shown on the Jumbotron, while Trump who also attended was met with a roaring applause.

 

 
Dunkin' Donuts Ad Controversy

Meanwhile Dunkin’ Donuts is also facing 'woke' far-left backlash for a new advertisement featuring actor Gavin Casalegno, which has reignited a cultural debate following the controversy surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad.

The ad, released on July 29, sparked criticism for its use of the term "genetics" in reference to Casalegno’s tan, drawing immediate comparisons to the previous controversy and leading to accusations of promoting racial or eugenic ideals.

The 35-second commercial promotes the chain’s Golden Hour Refresher drink and features Casalegno, known for his role in "The Summer I Turned Pretty," attributing his "golden" tan to his "genetics" and jokingly calling himself the "King of Summer."  The ad has been widely criticized by far-leftists on social media platforms like TikTok and X. Critics have linked the ad’s language to the ongoing debate over the American Eagle campaign, with some accusing Dunkin’ of capitalizing on the controversy.

U.S. Military Airstrike In Southern Caribbean Targets Vessel Allegedly Operated By Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang

The U.S. military on Tuesday, conducted a precision strike in the southern Caribbean against a vessel that had departed from Venezuela and was allegedly operated by the Tren de Aragua gang, a transnational criminal organization designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. government.

President Donald Trump announced the operation on Truth Social, stating that 11 individuals, whom he referred to as "narcoterrorists" or "terrorists," were killed in the strike while the boat was transporting illegal narcotics in international waters. The strike was described as a "kinetic" operation carried out in the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) area of responsibility.

The U.S. military confirmed a "precision strike" against the vessel. Trump shared a 29-second video clip on Truth Social showing a small, multi-engine speedboat traveling at sea before a bright flash and flames engulfed it. The video is largely in black and white, and Venezuela's Communications Minister Freddy Ñáñez falsely suggested it was artificially generated.

No U.S. military personnel were injured in the operation Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the "lethal strike" on X stating it targeted a drug vessel operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.

The Tren de Aragua gang originated over a decade ago within the notoriously violent prison system of Venezuela's Aragua state. It has since expanded its operations across Latin America, including to Chile, Colombia, and the United States, where it is involved in drug smuggling, kidnapping, extortion, sex trafficking, and acts of extreme violence such as beheadings.

The Biden administration designated it a transnational crime organization in 2024. President Trump, upon returning to office, escalated the designation, formally declaring Tren de Aragua a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" in February 2025, a move that is unusual for a criminal gang.

The strike on the vessel occurred amid a significant U.S. military deployment in the southern Caribbean. In recent weeks, the U.S. has sent at least seven warships, including the nuclear-powered submarine USS Virginia, and over 4,500 Marines and sailors to the region.

This build-up, which includes Aegis guided-missile destroyers like the USS Gravely and USS Jason Dunham, is part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to combat drug trafficking from Latin America. The administration has also increased surveillance flights with P-8 spy planes over international waters.

The deployment has been met with strong condemnation from Venezuela, with President Nicolás Maduro calling it an "extravagant, unjustifiable, immoral and absolutely criminal and bloody threat" and vowing to "declare a republic in arms" if attacked. Maduro has ordered troops to the border with Colombia and urged civilians to join militias in response.

The strike represents a dramatic escalation in the U.S. approach to drug cartels, signaling a willingness to use military force in the Americas.

The U.S. has also offered a $50 million reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest on drug-trafficking charges. Despite the military action, the administration has not signaled plans for a land invasion of Venezuela.

ISS Orbital Altitude Reboost Maneuver By SpaceX Dragon Cargo Spacecraft

SpaceX's Dragon cargo spacecraft (C211) on Wednesday Sept. 3 at about 1815 UTC, successfully completed its first test burn to demonstrate a new capability to help maintain the International Space Station's (ISS) orbital altitude.

This initial maneuver, lasting five minutes and three seconds, used two Draco engines located in the Dragon's trunk to raise the station's orbit by approximately one mile at its lowest point, positioning it in a 420 x 412-kilometer orbit.

The boost kit is expected to provide about a quarter of the propulsion needed annually to maintain the ISS's 418-kilometer-high orbit.

The new capability is enabled by an add-on "boost kit" installed in the Dragon's open-to-space aft trunk section.

This kit includes two Draco engines, six propellant tanks, and a helium pressurization system, forming an independent propellant system separate from the spacecraft's main systems. This hardware allows the Dragon to perform reboosts, a task traditionally handled by Russia's Progress vehicles.

This capability, introduced on the SpaceX CRS-33 mission, is part of NASA's strategy to reduce reliance on Russian vehicles and build fuel reserves for the station's eventual controlled deorbit, a process that will be managed by a future SpaceX-built deorbit vehicle. The Dragon's ability to perform these burns is a significant step towards the station's long-term operations and safe retirement.

This test marks the beginning of a series of planned burns throughout the fall of 2025 to sustain the station's altitude.

Comedian Graham Linehan Arrested In UK Over Critical Transgender Posts On X

Comedy writer Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Monday, upon his arrival from Arizona, U.S., by five armed police officers on ridiculous suspicion of 'inciting violence' related to three posts he made on X in April 2025.

The posts that prompted his detention included one from April 20 stating: "If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls."

Another post from April 19 showed an image of a trans rally with the caption: "A photo you can smell."

He subsequently wrote: "I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. Fuck em."

The 57-year-old was taken to a police station, questioned about the posts, and subsequently hospitalized due to a severe spike in blood pressure, which he described as "stroke territory," before being released on bail with a condition prohibiting him from posting on X until a further interview in October.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest and stated that officers became concerned for his health, resulting in the hospital visit, but claimed his condition was neither life-threatening nor life-changing. The arrest was carried out by armed officers from the MPS Aviation Unit.

Linehan described being met by five armed officers immediately after disembarking from his American Airlines flight, escorted to a private area, and informed of his arrest. He was placed in a cell and questioned about the tweets, during which his blood pressure reportedly reached over 200, leading to his transfer to the emergency department at a hospital for observation.

The arrest comes days before Linehan is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 4, 2025, facing two charges: one of harassing transgender activist Sophia Brooks on social media and another of damaging her mobile phone during an October incident. He has denied these charges.

Linehan, is the Irish comedy writer best known for creating the sitcoms Father TedThe IT Crowd, and Black Books. He has become a prominent and outspoken critic of transgender rights movements since around 2018.

The comedian's arrest has sparked significant political and public reaction, with UK opposition politicians, including Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick and Labour backbencher Jonathan Hinder, criticizing the use of five armed officers for an arrest over social media posts, calling it a "ridiculous" waste of police time. Author JK Rowling also condemned the arrest, calling it "totalitarianism" and "deplorable."

Critics on social media slammed UK government for descending into tyranny, especially since the enactment of Britain's controversial Online Safety Act.
