Last week, ten months after numerous right-leaning public figures called for a boycott of Bud Light because of the beer brand’s short-lived partnership with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to say that it’s a “Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance.”
“The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid,” Trump wrote on his social media platform. “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.”
