Donald Trump Takes A Stand To Defend Anheuser-Busch Nearly A Year After The Bud Light Fiasco
It's been just under a year since Bud Light essentially pressed the self-destruct button by partnering with transgender social media personality Dylan Mulvaney. However, it looked like the brand — once the biggest beer in the nation — was dead in the water. However, it's starting to win back some big endorsements, including one from former president and current presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Trump took a break from the campaign trail and the multitude of other things he has on his plate at the moment to fire off a Truth Social post about why conservatives should be rallying behind Anheuser-Busch.
The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid," Trump wrote, which, if you think about it, is really putting it mildly for a man not afraid to bust out a little hyperbole should the need arise.
"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," he continued.
The former president went on to tout how Anheuser-Busch has created tens of thousands of jobs 1,500 hundred of which belong to veterans. He also mentioned the company's involvement in the charity Folds of Honor.
"Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance?" Trump wrote. "What do you think? Perhaps, instead, we should be going after those companies that are looking to DESTROY AMERICA!"
Well, that's a ringing endorsement from No. 45, and it's just the latest in a slew of instances of Anheuser-Busch trying to get back in the good graces of red-blooded, beer-drinking Americans.
Y'know. The kind of people who buy Bud Light, or at least did until the whole Mulvaney fiasco.
In recent months, Anheuser-Busch has cut deals to promote Bud Light with the UFC and comedian Shane Gillis.
Additionally, the company recently unveiled a new Super Bowl spot including Dana White, Peyton Manning, and Post Malone.
