Trump calls time on Bud Light boycott and says it's paid the price for partnership with Dylan Mulvan

Quote
Donald Trump has U-turned on his stance over 'woke' Bud Light and suggested the beer deserves a 'second chance' just weeks ahead of a fundraiser organized by a lobbyist for the beer's parent company.

The presidential hopeful called for an end to the Bud Light boycott which was sparked by its disastrous campaign with trans-activist Dylan Mulvaney

The former president said the partnership was a 'mistake of epic proportions' for which a 'very big price was paid.'

But he insisted that parent company Anheuser-Busch InBev was not a 'woke company' as he threatened to release a list of those that are.

His comments came ahead of a fundraiser organized by a major Republican lobbyist for the company in March, where tickets are selling for $10,000 each. The event will be attended by dozens of members of Congress, Republican leaders as well as Donald Trump Jr.'

'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 wrote on social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I don't care whether Dylan Mulvaney, Peyton Manning, Emmet Smith or Donald J. Trump is endorsing it. I still don't like Bud Light enough to purchase it, and so never actually boycotted it.  :beer:

Not so much a dictate as a suggestion, but either way - no.

Why would Trump care about this? Why would he devote any time or effort to this 'nothing' issue?
I'm guessing he bought a ton of 6m/1y calls after the dead cat bounce.

I don't like it enough to drink it even if someone else does the purchasing.  For me at least, the rationale for drinking that general style of lager from major brewers - light or not - vanished when Yuengling became available in Ohio.

See the impending $10k per plate fundraiser.  Trump is desperate for campaign dollars, and to promote himself, he will sell the whole movement down river. 
I forwarded this article to one of his fanatics yesterday, but I'm sure it went in one eyeball and out the other.

He's never cared about social issues, transgenderism, abortion, or any of it.  He only adopted a thin facade of caring after deciding to run as a Republican because he knew it was necessary.

Yes, but he does care about being written about in the history books as “ the president that saved America” happy77

In fact, I’ve heard that his ego makes him obsessed with it

If I really loved Bud Light, I would have still drank it despite Dylan, Mulaney endorsing it

I may roll my eyes and think what the hell were they thinking, but I wouldn’t let their stupid business decision impact my enjoyment of it

But as luck will have it, I don’t drink any light beer. I find it tasteless.

Yuengling used to be available here, but no more

Leinenkugel and New Glarus are popular around here along with some of the local brews like Earth Rider and Bent Paddle

In fact, it was Earth Rider brewery that Biden visited when he came to Superior, Wi and spoke without a translator

So he owns stock in the product and tries to get it off the ass it got knocked onto due to poor marketing. Since when is that a crime? He is not in office, not passing legislation to help the brand, he is a private citizen trying to promote a product he is invested in.
