Donald Trump has shed light on the commotion on his own social network Truth Social after a well-known transgender influencer contributed to an online promotional video for the beer Bud Light. Brewer Anheuser-Busch, the American branch of the Belgian-Brazilian brewer AB InBev, “is not a woke company” and “maybe it deserves a second chance?” The next day the share price rose noticeably.
LOOK. These videos featuring transgender women are infuriating American conservatives
Within American conservative circles, the campaign in the spring of 2023 with the well-known transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney has been causing acid reflux for some time. There seemed to be a boycott of the beer, to the extent that AB InBev’s revenue and volumes declined sharply in the United States.

“The Bud Light commercial was a mistake of epic proportions, and it came at a very high price. But Anheuser-Busch is not a woke company,” said Donald Trump. He says he knows many companies that are woke and says he is listing them. He could make that list public.
According to Trump, Anheuser-Busch pays US farmers $700 million annually. This accolade does not end the matter. For example, according to Trump, the company also provides 65,000 jobs for Americans, 1,500 of whom are veterans.

This leads to a question with considerable rhetorical content. “Anheuser-Busch is a ‘Great American Brand’ that perhaps deserves a second chance? What do you think? Maybe we should instead go after the companies that want to ‘destroy America’.”

The news is already good for AB InBev shares. At the close of the stock exchange, the share was more than 4 percent higher in Brussels, making it the strongest gainer in the Bel20 star index.
