Anheuser-Busch faced backlash over a Bud Light ad featuring a transgender “influencer,” causing a significant sales decline.
Donald Trump criticized the ad and suggested the company had suffered enough, emphasizing that it wasn’t a “Woke company.”
“The Bud Light ad was a mistake of epic proportions, and for that a very big price was paid,” Trump wrote.
“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 said.
“Why not, the Radical Left does it viciously to well run, Conservative companies – and people!” he added.
“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,” he said.
“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!”
Despite Trump’s defense, some conservatives remained unsupportive, citing the company’s failure to apologize.
“They never apologized sir,” one commenter said. “They aren’t on our side. They found out. Sorry…it’s a no from me sir”
“Sorry President Trump, I can not in good biblical faith support any company that pushes a transgender and a homosexual agenda on our children,” another wrote. “They FAFO. [F—– Around and Found Out.] They are done in our circle.”
“Why is everyone else apologizing for Bud Lite, but NOT Bud Lite?” another pressed.
“Molson-Coors’ Coors Light saw 12.2% sales growth, while Miller Lite sales rose 6.9%, and Yuengling Light soared by 72.3%,” Fox Business wrote.
“Modelo Especial, the Mexican lager owned by Constellation Brands, also gained further ground against Bud Light, seeing a 10.8% sales boost on the week compared with the same time in 2023, when Modelo eclipsed the A-B brand to become the best-selling beer in the U.S.”
