Sydney Sweeney’s Brother Celebrates Air Force Promotion With ‘Good Jeans’ Crack

Trent Sweeney, the brother of actress Sydney Sweeney, celebrated a promotion he received from the U.S. Air Force with a crack about “good jeans” — a reference to an ad featuring his sister that has gained the ire of leftists.

On Thursday, Trent posted to his Instagram stories about recently earning his promotion to staff sergeant. In the story, Trent quipped, “It’s them good jeans,” according to a screenshot obtained by Fox News.

Sweeney recently took on an avalanche of hate from the Left for posing in an American Eagle Outfitters ad campaign about “good jeans,” which uses a play on both good genetics and a good pair of blue jeans. Critics said the ad was Nazi-coded and racist, since Sweeney is white and has blonde hair and blue eyes.

The actress has refused to buckle under the criticism, and American Eagle has stood by its campaign.

The Right has championed the campaign for shaking off “woke” messaging, and praised Sweeney for not graving to unreasonable critics on the Left.

Trent, 29, also published a general post to his Instagram account about the promotion. “I’m excited for this next step in my career and thank everyone that’s been a part of it so far,” he wrote.

His sister “liked” the post.

In the wake of the Left’s backlash toward Sweeney, left-wing site BuzzFeed reported on the actress’ apparent political party affiliation as a Republican.

The Daily Wire reviewed records that show a Sydney B. Sweeney is a registered Republican in Florida. The middle name of Sweeney, the actress, is reportedly Bernice.

Additionally, the date of registration is June 2024, the same time it was reported that the actress Sweeney purchased a 13.5 million dollar home in Summerland Key, Florida. The registration reviewed by The Daily Wire named Summerland Key as the city.

When President Donald Trump was asked about the report, he delighted in the news.

“She’s a very hot actress right now,” he said. “She’s a registered Republican? … Oh, now I love her ad.”

“Is that right? Sydney Sweeney?” he continued. “You’d be surprised at how many people are Republicans. That’s what I wouldn’t have known. But I’m glad you told me that. If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”
