US President Donald Trump praised actress Sydney Sweeney for her American Eagle jeans ad, calling it “the hottest ad out there.” He also took a swipe at Taylor Swift, saying she is “no longer hot” and was “booed out of the Super Bowl.” The ad, which says Sweeney has “great jeans,” sparked backlash online for its play on the word “genes,” with critics calling it tone-deaf. Trump supported Sweeney for being a Republican and slammed “woke culture.” The comments quickly went viral, sparking a culture war. American Eagle’s stock rose 24% after the ad went viral, despite ongoing controversy and criticism. (PC: X/AP)
