A CLIP of Sydney Sweeney blasting targets at a shooting range has gone viral – as she’s adopted by the MAGA movement and praised by Trump.

The video resurfaced after President Trump heaped praise on the actress’s “anti-woke” American Eagle jeans advert and she was revealed to be a registered Republican.

The clip from 2019 shows a younger Sydney expertly burying rounds into a series of human-shaped dummies at the firing range.

She appears well-practiced, skilfully banging two bullets into each in quick succession without so much as a flinch.

At the end, she flashes a smile to the camera and holsters the weapon.

Since Sydney starred in the controversial American Eagle jeans ad, clues that point to her living a secret MAGA life have emerged.

The 27-year-old grew up in a small, Catholic, Trump-supporting town in Washington with her father, mother and younger brother Trent – and has previously said she had a “religious” upbringing.

After accepting her breakout Euphoria role, Sydney revealed she had been nervous about how her community would react.

She told Stylecaster in 2021: “What’s crazy – and this is going to sound really bad- is when I first got sent the audition, I was too nervous to go do it.

“I grew up in a smaller town with my family, who are a little more conservative, and I was like: ‘They’re going to kill me if I do something like this.'”

A surprise party she threw for her mom’s 60th birthday drew considerable attention when pics were shared of the guests wearing MAGA-style hats and “Blue Lives Matter” shirts.

And now, she has starred in the American Eagle ad which has seriously riled voices on the left, who claim it promotes a racial ideal, but delighted the right who hail it as the “end of woke advertising”.

The ad makes a play on the words “jeans” and “genes” – and the main tagline is “Sydney Sweeney has great jeans”.

It’s been claimed that the promotion of Sydney’s blonde hair and blue eye traits suggests they are superior to alternative genes.

Sydney hasn’t publicly commented on the furore stirred up by the ad, but made her first appearance at a screening of her upcoming film “Americana” on Monday.

She was heckled by a fan who shouted: “Stop the ad, that is being racist,” according to TMZ.

However, she got into her vehicle without responding.

American Eagle defended its advertisement, but removed the video from its social media accounts.

It then emerged over the weekend that the actress has been a registered Republican since June 2024 – and she soon received praise right from the top.

President Trump was delighted when a reporter told him about Sydney’s political leanings, and promptly declared that he “loves” her “fantastic” ad.

He said on Sunday night: “That’s one I wouldn’t have known but I’m glad you told me that.

“If Sydney Sweeny is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.”

Trump then doubled down on his enthusiastic support and cemented the American Eagle ad as a bastion of the “anti-woke” agenda.

He declared in a Monday morning Truth Social post that the campaign is “the HOTTEST” and went on to slam “woke” companies like “stupid” Jaguar and Bud Light for their own advertising.

Jaguar recently put out an ad with models dressed in brightly-coloured, flamboyant clothing – but no cars or the brand’s logo.

Trump insisted the British manufacturer, whose CEO resigned on last week, should have learned from Bug Light – which suffered a boycott and major losses after an advert featuring a transgender influencer.

The President’s conclusion: “Being WOKE is for losers, being Republican is what you want to be.”
