Trump says Bud Light owner should be given a second chance!

MAR-A-LAGO, Florida (PNN) - February 8, 2024 - President Donald J. Trump said Bud Light’s parent company is not “woke” and suggested that it “deserves a second chance”.

“The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid,” President Trump wrote on his Truth Social account on February 6, referring to Bud Light’s decision last year to produce a customized beer can featuring the face of transgender activist Dylan Mulvaney.

The promotion led to a sustained boycott of the brand, with Bud Light’s parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev losing billions of dollars in revenue.

“Anheuser-Busch is not a woke company,” Trump said.

“Anheuser-Busch spends $700 Million a year with our Great Farmers, employ[s] 65 thousand (Amerikans), of which 1,500 are veterans, and is a Founding Corporate Partner of Folds of Honor, which provides Scholarships for families of fallen servicemen and women. They’ve raised over $30,000,000 and given 44,000 scholarships.”

“Anheuser-Busch is a Great (Amerikan) 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 (Amerika).”

While asserting that Anheuser-Busch is not a “woke” company, the president said he can name “plenty that are”.

“[I] am building a list and might just release it for the world to see,” Trump wrote.

“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.”

In May last year, the president joined conservative criticism of Anheuser-Busch, while promoting The Great Patriot BUY-Cott Book by Wayne Allyn Root.

“It’s time to beat the radical Left at their own game,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.

“Money does talk, Anheuser-Busch now understands that.”

Bud Light has pivoted back to its more traditional, sports-related advertising. It is now the “official beer partner” of the mixed martial arts league UFC after a multiyear deal was signed late last year.

The brand has created a 60-second commercial dubbed “Easy Night Out” that aired during the Super Bowl. The advertisement centers around a group of friends who release a genie from a bottle of Bud Light.

In January, Anheuser-Busch agreed to partner with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) for events through 2028. Corona Cero, Anheuser-Busch InBev’s zero-alcohol beer, will be the global beer sponsor of the Olympic Games.

“Beer and sports are better together, so we are proud to be the first beer sponsor for the Olympics at the Worldwide Olympic Partner level,” Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris said in a statement.

Anheuser-Busch also signed a sponsorship deal last month with the Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA) Olympic team for its Michelob Ultra light beer brand. The brewing company will sponsor the team at this year’s Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris, the 2026 Winter Olympics (Milan-Cortina 2026), and the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.

Modelo Especial, owned by Constellation Brands in the FPSA, overtook Bud Light as the best-selling beer in the FPSA in June last year.

In October 2023, Anheuser-Busch reported a 13.5% loss for its third-quarter revenue in the FPSA.

Bud Light sales dropped by nearly 30% year over year for the week ending Jan. 20, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, according to Fox Business, citing data from Bump Williams Consulting.

Ed. Note: If Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light want people to give them another chance, the CEO only needs to make a public statement that people who pretend to be female when they are actually male are deviants. If such a public statement is made by the Anheuser-Busch CEO, then I would be first in line to forgive the company.
