Trump's praise for Sweeney ad sends American Eagle stock surging

American Eagle Outfitters saw its stock price surge more than 20% on Monday, after President Trump praised the retailer's controversial marketing campaign featuring actress Sydney Sweeney on his Truth Social platform. 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the 'HOTTEST' ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are 'flying off the shelves.' Go get 'em Sydney!' Trump wrote Monday morning, sparking the rally in shares that began after markets opened. The president's endorsement comes amid a firestorm of criticism over the campaign. The controversy centers on a promotional video featuring Sweeney that was posted to American Eagle's social media channels. The video has since been removed. In the teaser, the 'Euphoria' actress discusses hereditary traits in a sultry voice, stating: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' As she speaks, the video shows Sweeney zipping up her jeans before the camera pans up her body and focuses on her face and blue eyes, framed by blonde hair. The visual emphasis on Sweeney's features prompted backlash from critics on the internet who were quick to accuse the ad of promoting eugenics and aligning with white nationalist messaging. Pittsburgh-based American Eagle defended the campaign in a statement it posted to Instagram last Friday, saying it 'is and always was about the jeans.' Trump used the opportunity to criticize what he called 'woke' advertising, citing examples like Jaguar's recent rebrand and Bud Light's partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney in 2023. 'The market cap destruction has been unprecedented, with BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SO FOOLISHLY LOST,' he wrote, contrasting those campaigns with American Eagle's approach. The stock surge represents the latest chapter in what has become a meme-driven rally for American Eagle, which initially jumped last month when retail traders piled into the stock following the campaign's debut. American Eagle has faced significant financial challenges in recent months. In May, the retailer withdrew its full-year guidance and announced a $75-million write-off of spring and summer merchandise due to slow sales, steep discounting and difficult market conditions. The company reported a first-quarter net revenue of $1.1 billion, down 5% from the prior year, with comparable sales falling 3%. Several prominent Republicans, including Vice President JD Vance and Sen. Ted Cruz, have also defended Sweeney and the campaign against criticism. The actress herself has not publicly addressed the controversy surrounding the advertisements. American Eagle shares closed at $13.28 on Monday, up 24%.

Meta Outlines Performance Improvements Based on its Evolving AI Systems

This story was originally published on Social Media Today. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Social Media Today newsletter. Meta's going all-in on AI, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg now driven to reach his new goal of automated 'superintelligence,' which could see Meta eventually crack the code on enabling truly transcendent machine learning systems. But it's not only in large-scale applications that Meta's seeing gains from AI, with the company also applying its AI models to more elements of its apps, and powering improved algorithmic matching to keep people using Facebook, Instagram and Threads for longer. Indeed, within its Q2 performance report, Meta noted that AI recommendations have continued to boost video engagement across its apps. As per Meta: 'In Q2, Instagram video time was up more than 20% year-over-year globally. We're seeing strong traction on Facebook as well, particularly in the U.S. where video time spent similarly expanded more than 20% year-over-year.' In broader terms, Meta also notes that its AI recommendations have led to a 5% increase in time spent on Facebook, and a 6% on Instagram this year. But video remains the key focus for IG and Facebook engagement, with Meta also reporting back in April that Reels clips now make up 50% of all time spent on IG. If you're looking to maximize your Facebook and/or Instagram engagement, video content needs to be a consideration, with its AI recommendation systems now pushing more relevant video to more users. This shift is also notable because earlier in the year, as part of Meta's defense against an FTC antitrust case, the company admitted that Facebook's and Instagram's share of time spent among social media apps had declined significantly, with most personal interaction shifting to messaging platforms instead. The latter part here is nothing new, as we've covered the broader shift to messaging pretty extensively. But it is interesting to note that AI, and AI-recommended video content specifically, is now helping Meta to right the ship in this respect, and keep more people around in its apps for longer. 'These gains have been enabled by ongoing optimizations to our ranking systems to better identify the most relevant content to show. We expect to deliver additional improvements throughout the year as we further scale up our models and make recommendations more adaptive to a person's interests within their session.' Meta has also been able to promote more original content, which was another major focus of its algorithmic advancements. Last month, Meta announced an algorithm update which is designed to demote 'unoriginal' content, in order to boost material from original creators, while last year, Instagram removed aggregator accounts from recommendations, and has since sought to replace re-posts with original content in the same where possible. And according to Meta, those efforts are seeing more traffic being driven to original creators: 'On Instagram, over two-thirds of recommended content in the U.S. now comes from original posts. In the second half, we'll be focused on further increasing the freshness of original posts so the right audiences can discover original content from creators soon after it is posted.' This is critical for Meta to maintain its connection with creators, and without them, it's simply not going to be able to capitalize on its opportunities. If original creators go elsewhere, they take their audiences with them, and as Meta moves into the next stage of its Metaverse/AR/VR plan, it's going to need original content creators to maximize audience interest in these new experiences. As such, ensuring that original creators get priority is an important shift, and Meta says that its systems are getting better on this front. Meta also says that it's been using its evolving AI tools to improve content recommendations on Threads: 'The incorporation of LLMs are now driving a meaningful share of the ranking-related time spent gains on Threads.' While it also continues to update its AI-powered ad tools, including automated targeting. 'This quarter, we expanded our new AI-powered recommendation model for ads to new surfaces and improved its performance by using more signals and a longer context. It's driven roughly 5% more ad conversions on Instagram and 3% on Facebook.' So it's not just superintelligence, and Meta's massive investment in the bigger picture AI projects that's driving its approach, it's also applying its AI models to all elements of its apps, and driving notable performance improvements in each. Which is also notable for advertisers, and those looking to make best use of Facebook and Instagram for marketing. Now, Meta's systems are getting better at showing your content to just the right audiences, based on an evolving array of algorithmic indicators, as assessed by AI. That could present new opportunities within your approach. Recommended Reading Meta Shares Ad Tips Based on 1M+ Ad Creatives Sign in to access your portfolio

Rakitic issues apology after Modric post insults Juventus fans

Ivan Rakitic has been forced to issue an apology to Juventus fans after he accidentally used an insulting chant against them when celebrating Luka Modric's move to Milan. Croatia international Rakitic retired in July after a career spent with FC Basel, Schalke 04, Sevilla, Barcelona, Al-Shabab and Hajduk Split. He is good friends with fellow Croatian Modric and posted on Instagram to celebrate this new experience of joining Milan as a free agent. Modric congratulations included Juventus insult Luka Modric during his first interview as a Milan player on Wednesday, July 16, 2025. However, what the former midfielder didn't realise was that the song he picked to accompany this image of them together was not just in support of Milan, but actively insulting towards Juventus. When it was pointed out to him, Rakitic removed the offending clip and posted an apology on his Instagram Stories. 'I wish to extend my sincere apologies to the supporters of Juventus. My intention was solely to use a song associated with AC Milan to congratulate my friend Luka Modric, without being aware of the historical context or the lyrics tied to it. 'I had absolutely no desire to offend anyone, least of all a club for which I hold the utmost respect.' The song was a chant heard regularly in the stadium, 'Chi non salta e un gobbo Juventino,' translated as 'whoever doesn't jump is a Juventus supporter.' Gobbo means hunchback and is an insulting term used to describe Juve fans. View this post on Instagram
