When prominent conservatives called for a boycott of Bud Light earlier this month, after it partnered with transgender Tiktok influencer Dylan Mulvaney, former President Donald Trump remained uncharacteristically tight-lipped.
…
Indeed, Real Clear Politics noted that Trump is "MIA" on the boycott, ignoring repeated requests for comment from the outlet on the topic.
…
The Independent was the first to report on financial disclosures showing that Trump is an investor in the company that produces Bud Light.
Trump's most recent 101-page disclosures form, which was filed with the Federal Election Commission on April 14, shows that Trump owns between $1 million and $5 million in Anheuser Busch InBev under an account listed as "DJT Trust — Investment Account #2."

Wrong decimal spot. So 5 million (their high estimate) is 0.2% of his wealth. That changes everything!
Bombshell ping. It’s over, he’s done, there’s no recovering from this horror. Im switching my vote to Ramastiltskin. S/
Just like some are trying to do to DJT here. Whats funny is they'll still take the opportunity to play the victim.
Bud Light tanks but Modelo is on the rise. Both Imbev.
How is it a job of a president to scramble after his investments
Do you do that?
Are you invested in bud?
Do you know which beers fall under bud?
Do you buy Starbucks?
If you spend $20 at a sbx do you know what their social positions are?
I know $20 to me is $500000 to a multibillionaires.
How about you?
I don’t listen to politicians on social matters when those (few) politicians make it so that I can have an opinion
His brokers like many others who buys large amount of stocks for their customers buy a wide range of them.
Many time the customers are not sure what stocks they have until asked if they went to sell them.
It isn’t like he’s a day trader
Profits over principles? Huh. Did he ever defend Bud Lite or try to stop the boycott? Did he run out and buy the stock after the whole Dylan Mulvaney fiasco broke or did he already own the stock before hand, like millions of other Americans? Is he supposed to apologize because he bought stock in a company that nobody could have foreseen, was going to implode? You’re graspoing at straws.
I thought he was worth at least $5 billion, but I looked it up and you’re right - 2.5 seems to be the consensus.
But then again, Trump claims it’s much higher, and in my experience, he always turns out to be right.
Do you do that?
I’m always updating my investments.
Are you invested in bud?
Nope
Do you know which beers fall under bud?
Yep and that would be InBev who owns AB and I’ve posted on all those idiots boycotting Bud Light but switching to other beer brands owned buy InBev. They’re making the same amount of money on idiots.
Do you buy Starbucks? One time.. tried it once in the early 90s and thought it sucked and was overpriced shxt. Been drinking Folgers since the Manson Murders in the early 70s.
If you spend $20 at a sbx do you know what their social positions are?
I knox exactly what their social positions are.
I know $20 to me is $500000 to a multibillionaires.
How about you?
Like I said, they suck and I don’t waste my money on overpriced shxt. My wardrobe is Grunt Style or 9 Line tshirts, camo shorts and/r jeans. Simplistic kind of guy not out to impress anyone and I live in a remote rural setting in the mountains. Cities are the azzhole of society.
I know what the social positions are on anyone I vote for. It’s the meat of why I would vote for them.
As far as buying shxt from anywhere I’ve stated in the past if I didn’t buy anything from people I disagree with on social issues I’d be homeless in a field, completely naked and looking for food.
I try not to support any woke liberal POS anything but I’m a realist when it comes to day to day things.
I buy most of my shxt via Amazon (God forbid) but I buy from specific companies on Amazon. Conflict of interest so to speak.
Bottom line.. know who you’re voting for. There is no perfect candidate and never will be. They’ve all got issues but it’s what issues you can live with.
Thanks for that!
I did some research, and at one point Modello was licensed to sell in the USA under A-B, but then Constellation Brands bought them, and then sued them over other beverages but Grupo Modello won. AB-Inbev lost.
It is confusing. Tyrus on the Gutfled show was saying Modello was owned by AB-InBev, but guess that’s no longer true.
Trump is a multi-billionaire. While $5 million may sound like a lot to us, it’s barely a footnote in what is undoubtedly a diversified managed portfolio. Politics aside, AB is a blue chip company and probably has a place in any such portfolio. This is a tempest in a teapot and irrelevant.
My goodness! They are going after President Trump on all sides. It would be interesting to see the media/Biden administration emails where they collaborate on which stories the WaPo, NYTs, Huff Post, etc will publish each day.
I. Do. Not. Care. !!!!!!
President Trump has my vote! To do otherwise would admit that our nation is definitely gone beyond the chance of ever returning to a free country and the corrupt dictators win. I will hold on to my slight sliver of hope! It’s small, but still there.
Bottom line I don’t care what trump has a minor percentage invested in as long as he supports the constitution
Why are you surprised? He owns a vineyard and licensed his name for Vodka once.
