Fox News anchor Jesse Watters made a “fanfiction”-esque prediction about Donald Trump’s youngest child and Sydney Sweeney - and people are weirded out.
During a segment, Watters was remarking on the recent commentary over actress Sweeney’s jeans campaign with clothing company American Eagle, which some have suggested is “imbued with eugenic messaging”.
The news ticker at the bottom of the screen read, “Liberals are losing it over Sydney Sweeney”. It comes after reports suggested that Sweeney is a “Republican”, which then set Donald Trump off in her defence.
But, what creeped people out the most was Watters’ remark on “how this ends”, suggesting that Trump’s youngest child, 19-year-old Barron Trump, was going to marry Sweeney, 27.
“And you know how this ends? She’s [Sweeney] going to marry Barron, and it’s going to create the greatest political dynasty in American history,” Watters claimed.
But while his co-hosts could be heard laughing off-screen, not everyone found it so funny.
“Fantasizing about a 27 year old marrying a 19 year old to own the libs,” someone wrote.
Another said: “FOX News is writing fanfiction in broad daylight.”
Someone else pointed out: “I love how even the most insane right-wing fantasies about a royal Trump dynasty still skip Eric and Jr.”
One person mocked: “They’re playing with their dolls again.”
“MAGA is so f***ing weird,” said another.
