The Republican war against Bud Light, and the beer brand's parent company Anheuser-Busch, has long simmered down — but former President Donald Trump still saw fit to take to his Truth Social account on Tuesday and post a defense of the company and brand.
The boycott initially began after the Bud Light brand partnered with transgender woman Dylan Mulvaney in a promotion.
"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, but I can give you plenty that are, am building a list, and might just release it for the World to see. Why not, the Radical Left does it viciously to well run, Conservative companies - and people! 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," Trump continued. "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!"
Trump was notably silent on the issue during the actual boycott, and his eldest son Donald Trump Jr. even called for it to end.
According to a Business Insider report at the time, the former president actually owned up to $5 million in Anheuser-Busch stock.
