The only thing bad about this is that the sales are only down by 28%, which I do find a little hard to believe.

I know there are now virtually no BL cans tossed out the window along the stretch of road along which I live. Mexican beers, Fireball, and gas station food seems to dominate among the trashy hoards.

Trump says to give AB a second chance. BUD stock is rising with this news. By the way, while Bud Light sales are still down, the company as a whole is doing as well as ever. The stock has fully recovered.
“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,” Trump wrote. “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!”
AB most certainly is a 'woke' company. Their ad campaign did two things
firstly, it bought into the faggot, queer and freak show with their campaign
secondly, and most importantly, if they were looking at a woman for their spokesperson, they basically said that out of 52% of the entire worlds population, they couldn't find a single woman on this planet to represent their brand and they 'had' to use a queer - that's a huge insult to women
AB does NOT deserve a second chance any more than any other company that turns its back on 99% of the population of this country to push an agenda

The former president also said the massive beer company spends $700 million a year on U.S. farmers, employs 65,000 workers, and provides scholarships to U.S. students.
Trump’s message arrived just before Jeff Miller, a top Republican lobbyist for Anheuser-Busch, announced that he will be hosting a fundraiser for the former president next month. Anheuser Busch paid Miller’s firm $260,000 in 2023, according to lobbying disclosure forms reviewed by Politico.
Miller, who built his lobbying business during the Trump years, announced Tuesday on X that he would be hosting the Washington, D.C. fundraiser. The event is set to feature over a hundred members of Congress, as well as special guest Donald Trump, Jr. Tickets for the event range from $1,000 to $10,000 each.

I don't agree with anyone on everything. This is true. Never have I met or have been aware of any person with whom I agree on every single thing.
Donald Trump may be striving to save American jobs. Whatever the case, it doesn't matter. I don't believe there is a single Trump supporter out there who would change their opinion of the man over this, nor do I believe Trump's encouragement would compel anyone to buy Budweiser products.
To put it succinctly, it just doesn't matter.

I actually agree with Trump in that I don't think ABInBev is a woke company with an agenda. The woman who did this was removed from her position, as was her boss. After it was done they were in a pickle, just trying not to make the situation worse.
Should they have apologized? Perhaps. If they had, what would have become of the company as a whole? I don't think it is a good business decision for any major company with customers across the political spectrum, to take a stance on a political issue. At that point they were just taking cover and trying not to make it worse.
I don't think this is a case of a company being woke and getting caught. I think it's a case of an employee going too far, with a fallout that was obviously not anticipated.
I am actually amazed that the stock (BUD) is up $1.75 on this news. Does the market really think Trump's "endorsement" is going to bring back the 30% of business they lost?

Hedge funds control stock values (short sellers), it's not how the company is performing. They will short a stock and then buy it back, just a big money game.

The point is not only to teach AB a lesson, but also for them to serve as an object lesson to other companies.
One day, they may recover their market share, but they will never recover their lost sales. That's beer under the bridge.

I've stated it previously, but Bud Light's train stop into a little town called Queerville with that piece of trash as their spokesMAN turned me into a Guinness Draught drinker. And guess what? Bud Light could give their shit away for FREE and I STILL wouldn't touch it. Those phukktards couldn't even PAY ME to drink it now...
FTATHTRIO!!!

I don't think even the Donald believes his statement will do much. Now he can tell them he tried and I think that was the point of it.
They (Bud) have recovered what they can for now. Now they have to see if they can get back any of the market share they threw down the toilet.
Maybe the King of Inbev can thrill the people with another statement about how the U.S. isn't even their primary market.

Never alienate your customers when they buy your poor to mediocre product.
Seldom do boycotts last this long. Why has this one?....because Bud light is not a good tasting beer. Not even close. It never was a good beer but people bought it out of habit and a sense of brand loyalty. Once people started drinking other beers during the boycott this fact hit them right in the taste buds. They have not returned to drinking that swill.

Well, I don't think that's really it... Is it special? No, of course not. It's a light lager, or a pilsner and none of them are special. It's not great, but not terrible.
Sure, people bought it based on (previously) terrific marketing and a sense of brand loyalty. Once that went away... they discovered there were others out that that were just as good and weren't embarrassing to buy or be seen drinking.
