Don Jr’s ‘so hot’ AI pic of denim-clad Trump after viral Sydney Sweeney ad has internet cracking up

WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump Jr has stirred fresh controversy online after posting an AI-generated image of his father, Donald Trump, dressed in double denim.
The post appears to take a jab at American Eagle’s latest ad campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney, which has already sparked a heated debate over potential racial undertones.
The campaign, which shows Sweeney in denim alongside the phrase “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,” has drawn criticism for what many believe is a loaded play on the phrase “good genes.”

As Sydney Sweeney faces backlash, Don Jr stirs the pot with AI image of Donald Trump in denim
On July 29, Donald Trump Jr shared an AI-generated image of his father, President Donald Trump, wearing double denim. The image, posted on Instagram, shows Trump lying on the floor in a denim shirt and jeans, gazing directly at the camera. He props himself up with one hand while resting the other on his hip in a pose reminiscent of a fashion shoot.
Trump Jr captioned the post, “That Hanse… Um, Donald is so hot right now!!!” — a clear nod to Hansel McDonald, the male supermodel character played by Owen Wilson in the 'Zoolander' movies.
The Instagram post went viral shortly after Sydney Sweeney faced backlash over her new ad campaign with clothing brand American Eagle. The campaign plays on the homophones “jeans” and “genes,” which some social media users claim promotes white supremacist messaging.
One of the ads shows a camera panning up Sweeney’s legs as she lies on the ground zipping up her jeans. She narrates, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color.” As the camera reaches her face, she says, “My jeans are blue,” followed by a voiceover delivering the campaign’s tagline: “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans.”
