Trump begins his post by referring to Sydney Sweeney as 'Sidney'. This is most likely a reference to Sidney Poitier, who became the first black actor to win the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1964. By comparing Sweeney with Poitier, Trump cleverly emphasises her excellent acting abilities.

President Donald Trump is praising Sydney Sweeney in the wake of backlash against the American actress for her controversial American Eagle advertisement. "Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there," he wrote in a Truth Social post. "Go get 'em Sydney!"

Trump says Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad is “fantastic” after learning she’s a registered Republican. (According to Florida voter registration records viewed by CNN, Sweeney registered with the Republican Party on June 16, 2024, prior to November’s presidential election.) pic.twitter.com/awu2q7Xa5I
