Donald Trump has slammed the makers of Bud Light for pandering to ‘the radical Left’ after it used an infamous transgender influencer to promote the popular beer.
The former president derided parent company Anheuser-Busch for hiring Dylan Mulvaney, who rose to fame after documenting her gender transition on TikTok.
Writing on his Truth Social account, the real estate mogul praised a conservative author who recently called the ad campaign ‘a woke, clueless, incredibly dumb miscalculation.’
‘It’s time to beat the Radical Left at their own game. Money does talk—Anheuser-Busch now understands that. Great new Book by Wayne Allyn Root. Buy your copy today!’ Trump wrote.
Root penned ‘The Great Patriot Protest & Boycott Book’ two years ago and has long been a fervent supporter of the 45th president of the United States.
The 61-year-old, who has spouted bogus conspiracy theories online in the past, argues that customers should ‘defund leftist woke companies.’
‘In short, conservatives and patriots must wield the power of the purse. Money talks. We have the power to change the direction of this country by changing the direction of corporate policy,’ Root said.
The ex-television pundit caused uproar in 2017 when he incorrectly claimed that a mass shooting in Las Vegas was a ‘clearly coordinated Muslim terror attack.’
The Bud Light controversy was sparked when Mulvaney was presented with a commemorative can showing her face to mark her '365 days of being a girl.'

AB will file bankruptcy by November.
No, they don’t know that, and they are still digging.
As Donald Trump Jr. said, “Budweiser are the good guys.”
Do you remember Jurassic Park and Ian Maclcom’s “Chaos theroy”
Well AB is in what’s called Gambler’s Ruin right now.
Just proves that Dad is smarter than son.
That son doesn’t say anything his father doesn’t tell him.
Oohh, the MSM accuses someone of "spouting bogus conspiracy theories online in the past."
So funny.
Mess with chocolate is one thing but never ever mess with beer.
Took him long enough. Trump is still out of touch. He needs to stop getting his news from leftists.
AB has yet to offer an apology to its Bud Light Drinkers(Former Drinkers I mean).
The Donald should stay away from the petty issues. It’s just noise that interferes and distracts from the real issues. Furthermore, it drives people away from those who disagree with him.
About time did he finally spoke on this topic. Surprising that the only comment from the family up till now was Trump Junior saying the boycott was a bad idea
Let Trump be Trump—He will tell you what he thinks. Bud Lite should be pulled down and with it the Woke Hucksters that are making a fortune on selling these degenerate ideas to the Corporate left.
and the beat goes on
5 weeks and the articles keep coming
this thing has legs
Nah, they’ll just make up the revenue elsewhere. Accounting trickery...
But if the next quarter isn’t good, he’ll have some ‘splainin’ to do. If it was just some one-off thing and caused this much damage to the brand and revenue - who’d been fired? Someone needs to ask this question the next time he tries sliding the BS past a reporter.
err...wrong Bud-thread!
AB Inbev is a multi-billion dollar company. They aren’t going anywhere.
I haven’t seen so many flip-flops since DeSantis told Trump’s underlings to go pound sand and opened up Florida’s beaches.
Transweiser only placed the people responsible “on leave”. Paid leave?
