Former President Trump urged his followers to give Anheuser-Busch a “second chance” after months of criticism the company has faced from conservatives.
“The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website Tuesday, referencing a brief partnership the company had with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney that has cost it billions in market value.
“Anheuser-Busch is not a Woke company,” the former president said, adding “I can give you plenty that are, am building a list, and might just release it for the World to see.”
“Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance,” Trump continued, defending the global beverage company. “What do you think? Perhaps, instead, we should be going after those companies that are looking to DESTROY AMERICA!”
Last summer, Trump joined a chorus of conservative critics, blasting Anheuser-Busch as he promoted the “The Great Patriot Protest and Boycott” book, which celebrates mainstream companies boycotted by conservatives.
“It’s time to beat the Radical Left at their own game,” Trump said at the time. “Money does talk—Anheuser-Busch now understands that.”
Definitely.
The people justifying this will justify anything Trump says or does.
Cult of personality is for Democrats, not us.
I’ll give InBev a second chance ONLY when they bow down to Lord Jesus Christ and beg for forgiveness of their sins. Renounce Satan and the homosexual agenda. That is what they MUST do!
just say ‘nope’ to all AB products
“Why is Trump going there?”
Because it is a brand and not the entire company. Which is why Budweiser didn’t do it, nor its other brands with the exception of Bud light. I was at a bar that got rid of Bud light for going woke. But they still carried Bud.
Plus, Trump voters are going to vote for Trump. It is nothing more than a political move to get those Bud light drinkers who didn’t vote for Trump on board.
Maybe. I don’t drink so I don’t have a dog in this fight but here’s my thought. Eliminate Bud Lite. Like how Tab pretty much became Diet Coke, have them introduce a new light beer brand. Make Bud Lite marketing poison forever..
Nope.
Same as always…doesn’t know when to STFU.
NO!
So much for the claim Trump is a billionaire and can’t be bought?
Well said. Sounds like Trump is doing the same exact thing to me.
Did you forget the /sarcsam tag?
What BS
I confess, I drank some Michelob Ultra at a sportsball bar recently.
Somebody said Trump doesn’t know what he is talking about because he doesn’t drink. Trump doesn’t drink but he SELLS it. He sells beer at all of his properties. He knows the wokest beers, the beers that take hate us the most, the beers away our jobs and all the rest. Trump needs to make this list. I’ll listen to Trump’s expertise on this matter over anyone here. As Trump once said, the cure can’t be worse than the problem itself.
Here is the full quote, not just the cherry picking people do to make Trump look bad. The point is he is building a list of woke companies that want to destroy America.

The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid, but Anheuser-Busch is not a Woke company, but I can give you plenty that are, am building a list, and might just release it for the World to see. Why not, the Radical Left does it viciously to well run, Conservative companies - and people! Very nasty, but it’s the way they play the game! On the other hand, Anheuser-Busch spends $700 Million a year with our GREAT Farmers, employ 65 thousand Americans, of which 1,500 are Veterans, and is a Founding Corporate Partner of Folds of Honor, which provides Scholarships for families of fallen Servicemen & Women. They’ve raised over $30,000,000 and given 44,000 Scholarships. Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance? What do you think? Perhaps, instead, we should be going after those companies that are looking to DESTROY AMERICA!
I won’t drink Bud Light, but in the grand scheme of things, this is nothing.
To stop us from importing beer from Mexico.
When did he say that?
His post wasn’t even really about drinking. It was a side point to all these woke companies and whether he should make out a list. But they cut that out to make Trump look bad. Also how many people here are complaining about Trump but go on Facebook, eat woke candy, drink woke soda, give me a break. Back to beers, people switched to Molson Coors but they are the most woke company people just haven’t noticed yet and Z Bud Lights parent co isn’t even considered woke. Hence Trump is on to something
Anheuser-Busch spends $700 Million a year with our GREAT Farmers, employ 65 thousand Americans, of which 1,500 are Veterans, and is a Founding Corporate Partner of...
The #1 beer now is from Mexico.
Why is he even bringing this up?
Super-dimensional chess. You wouldn't understand. Only a few here do.
Trust the plan.
