“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 … Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand that perhaps deserves a Second Chance? What do you think?” — Donald TrumpOut of nowhere, presumptive GOP presidential nominee and former President Donald Trump posted a Truth Social message Tuesday that raised eyebrows among conservatives who had long pushed for Bud Light to...
Trump’s message also comes as a top Republican lobbyist for the company is set to host a fundraiser for the former president next month, with some tickets going at $10,000 each. I stopped my “Dylan Mulvaney” boycott of Bud Light almost 4 months ago. Nowadays, I don’t drink Bud Light because it’s watery swill.I’m with you there, I never drank the garbage anyway. One nice thing about having the Czech wife is it really gave me an appreciation for good beer.I don’t drink Bud or Bud Light but was all on board with the boycott when they hired that woke chick who promptly insulted all of the customers and thought a tranny was a good idea as a spokesman.
There is no redemption without confession. I feel sure now that the ‘MAGA signal’ has gone out the NPC will all be jumping in line like black Friday to fight for bud light at their local stores and going online to tell everyone not to worry about thinking for themselves just follow the ‘MAGA signal.’He probably got a huge donation as payment for this. No one just puts this out there out of the blue.Yup. Someone at Bud Light has Trump’s number.
It seems pretty obvious to me that Trump is probably just trying to help Dana White out, or has bought some argument that White made about the whole thing. It’s been a year … they took a major financial hit … they’ve learned their lesson … whatever. To turn this into some grand grifting scheme about a company that will annihilate America is a bit much. It’s beer. Trump has some stock in AB and is seeing some fundraising from AB/AB lobbyists … big whoop.
Forgiveness in business and in personal relations requires genuine contrition and a demonstrated willingness to change behavior; as in, actions. When AB pissed everybody off, they were essentially forced to branch out into alternate drinks, and were forced to realize that Bud Light was not exactly the pinnacle of beer taste.Anheuser Busch HAS NOT ADMITTED IT WAS WRONG. They’ve done literally everything possible to NOT admit that they made a mistake, and what the mistake was.What boycott? Who cares enough about Bud Light anymore to go out of their way to ignore it? Hell, I don’t even know where you could buy it these days.
