I guess now we know why Trump was late to the Bud Light Party….

[stanne]

We’re supposed to care …why? Exactly?

[gibsonguy]

BI? Please l won’t spend one second thinking about anything from them.

[libh8er]

Keep in mind AB used to be a “good” company popular with conservatives before it became a bad company.

[Jonty30]

They are blaming Trump for not selling his AB stock.

[Ann Archy]

ALMOST EVERY person owns AB stock in their portfolio...geesh.

[beancounter13]

Fighting WOKE is not important to you?

[gov_bean_ counter]

The Dems aren’t the only party with a compromised candidate…

[Fledermaus]

BI doesn’t know squat.

[libh8er]

Now we know why Don Jr was urging people to end the boycott.

[proust]

I’d be surprised if he didn’t have AB licensing deals at his golf courses, resorts, etc as well. Profits over principles.

If true, I’m surprised that Trump owns alcohol companies stock since he does not drink. We’ve seen reports already about his defense of Disney because he owns Disney stock. So, maybe true about bud light.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Trump has few core convictions and the cult doesn’t care. Trump will never fight the social decline in this country. He has to be brought to the table kicking and screaming.

ALMOST EVERY person owns AB stock in their portfolio...geesh.

Yep. They're a popular choice for 401K mutual funds.

[MTBobcat]

Trump has always been pro-gay. He isn’t a hardcore social conservative and never has been one. This is well-known. Probably a good hold seeing as he “only” has $5 million in what prior to a disastrous marketing decision was THE American beer in Bud/Bud Light.

[CatOwner]

ALMOST EVERY person owns AB stock in their portfolio...geesh.

Pretty much, if you own stock mutual funds. It's because of mutual fund investing that sometimes can keep an individual company's stock from cratering if the rest of the fund is performing well.

[Manic_Episode]

Just business.

[ConservativeInPA]

They are blaming Trump for not selling his AB stock.

And at a loss. Plus, it seems this investment is in a trust which leads me to believe that Trump may not be able to direct the trust to buy or sell any stock.

[alternatives?]

According to Forbes, in 2023 Trump is worth $2.5 billion. $5 million represents 0.2 percent of his worth. Guess again.

No doubt he also owns stock in other beer companies that will benefit from sales growth that has come as a result of Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.
