Donald Trump getting ‘bought out’ after pleading for Bud Light to get ‘second chance’ over transgender fiasco: critics
NY Post
Donald Trump called for a cease-fire in the culture war over Bud Light’s transgender fiasco – a move that provoked critics to claim he was getting “bought out” by mega-brewer Anheuser-Busch.
The former president took to his social media platform Truth Social on Tuesday and declared that Anheuser-Busch was “not a woke company” and that it had already paid a “very big price” for Bud Light’s ad campaign featuring transgender social media influencer Dylan Mulvaney.
Trump added that it was time to move on from outrage over the ads, which he called “a mistake of epic proportions.”
The former president noted that Anheuser-Busch “spends $700 million a year with our great farmers” and employs 65,000 Americans.
Trump urged his followers to give Bud Light a “second chance” and to shun other companies that “are looking to destroy America!”
Trump’s post on Truth Social came just weeks before a top GOP lobbyist for Anheuser-Busch was scheduled to host a fundraiser for the former president’s re-election campaign, according to Politico.
