President Donald Trump was asked to share his thoughts on the controversy surrounding Sydney Sweeney’s “great jeans” advertisement for American Eagle. His response was lighthearted and highlighted the absurdity of the situation.

To briefly recap the situation: Sweeney, widely considered attractive, appeared in a commercial sporting tight-fitting jeans, a loosely buttoned shirt, and discussing her “great jeans,” which some found controversial.

Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle campaign is receiving criticism for a “jeans/genes” pun that some say echoes eugenics and white supremacy rhetoric.

As a result, the left went apoplectic, suggesting it was a coded message of “white supremacy” and a thinly-veiled attempt at “eugenics propaganda.”

Because that’s what the left does. They’re weird. They can’t stand the thought of beautiful women. And they’re relentlessly insufferable people.

As Trump answered questions from reporters before his return to Washington, D.C., on Sunday evening, he was informed that Sweeney is identified as a “registered Republican.” He was then asked for his opinion.

“She’s a registered Republican?” he quipped. “Oh, now I love her ad!”
