I agree that there are worse companies out there, but no, they insulted their customers complaining about them being "fratty," never apologized for it, and they're not even American. Anheuser-Busch can go get fucked.
Wonder what his reasoning is, maybe trying to sway some on the fence voters by turning the other cheek. He isn’t not wrong about AB being a long time American company, but they did the most woke stunt of them all and deserve every bit of backlash
Trump said "Anheuser-Busch is a Great American Brand" not company, and as usual if you actually look at what Trump said he's right; it is an American brand.
The best outcome would be Trump gets their donation, Trump supporters continue the boycott because they know Trump's weak "Second Chance? What do you think?" is saying he doesn't really mean it, and then he uses that money to help win.
That relies on his followers reading between the lines and not blindly following.
His willingness to let people kiss the ring for acceptance or forgiveness was always his undoing. It's how we wound up getting Trump endorsements for the shittiest Democrat-Lite RINOs that all stabbed him in the back.
They fooled him and once they didn't need him any more they drop the mask.
It may be coming from a good place, or that Christian ideal of forgiveness, but it really does make him look like a chump.
They cannot be forgiven because we don't want to go through this again again and them knowing 'oh if we just apologize.' Or 'oh if we make a quasi-sassy tweet in favor of an easy right wing talking point' that all can and will be forgiven and they can reapply the thumb screws at their next convenience.
No. Sorry AB. Because it does seem like you're trying, getting cosy with UFC and Shane Gillis and firing all those marketing fags. But since you're the exception that's proving a rule you cannot be forgiven. Put on your bottlecap of thorns and hoist thyself on that telephone pole
I agree with all of his points as to why, but I will only give them another chance if they were to apologize and more importantly they denounce transgenderism and degeneracy publicly. Then if at any point they back off that stance, that voids the second chance and you don't get a third. Since that will never happen it's irrelevant. I didn't drink their reclaimed urine anyway and there's no way I drink enough in a year to make any difference to an alcohol company.
Being devil's advocate here; it's a brand which has been around for decades and bud light is a pretty well known American beer.
From the actions of one marketer who tried pushing the ideology who has since been sacked. They've felt the sting of their customers and it'd be unlikely that they'd do it again. So if anything they'll be more inclined on making a product and focusing on their primary customer base again, no?
It cost them billions. They won't pander to the minority again- so why not give them a second chance?
The main issue here is that they didn't even apologize at all.
Trump wants us to stop a boycott without us getting anything in return.
Trump is getting sweet donor shekels from Budlight and we should bend over for that?
Fuck no.
If the Right bends over without even extracting an apology, corporations will learn that all you need to push whatever leftism you want is do it and then get forgiveness by giving a few Shekels to Trump and he will make his supporters clap for it like seals.
This is a terrible idea.
Trump is a billionaire, it is pathetic to see him shilling for this.

Do what again? Put a tranny on a can? Ok..
Well that's great, but what about their HR department, who was sacked there? Or the other people in advertising that hired or tolerated that one person? You think in an interview she's going to trash the customers, but at work she's guarded in what she says? They knew and they were okay with it.
Why not give them a second chance, because they only fired 1 when they should have fired 100. It's the same people there, the same snakes in HR.
Bud light wasn't merely a boycott, they got replaced. All the various "light beer" brands are virtually identical. Buying a different brand is trivial and no one has any
real incentive to ever switch back.

The company has never even apologized for pushing transgenderism to their audience.
Both Donald Trump and his son Donald Jr. are getting some shekels from these scumbags which is why they are both saying we should forgive them.
Fuck no to that.
Trump should focus on winning the general election not selling out social conservatism for some shekels.
He is a billionaire for fuck's sake, it is pathetic to see him selling out.
So spake the De Santis simp.
You haven't addressed my argument, all you have done is throw out a meaningless ad-hominem attack.
Follow the money:

They haven't been an American company since 2008. They're Belgian.
It is clear why Trump wants to help these scumbags, he wants their donor money.
Many people here said since he is a billionaire, he would never sell us out for some donor cash.
He will not get one extra vote doing this.
He might even lose a few social conservative votes doing this retarded shit.
Anheuser-Busch is not an American company, they are Belgian.
He is wrong about that part too.

I think I saw this line in a movie once.
"It's not about the money. It's about sending a message."
Was it Payback with Mel Gibson?
Oh yeah btw just saw that Trump's favorite tranny is also pushing this garbage.

Yeah, there's no reason for Joe Q. Public to go back to Bud Light other than convenience, tradition and nostalgia.
Their product sucks and offers nothing. It is completely interchangeable and replaceable.
The most annoying thing about them is their ubiquitous market share and shelf allotment.
And denounce the posh female executive who started all this and is proud of it.

Budlight's parent company is a Belgian company.

This is a terrible idea.
Trump is a billionaire, it is pathetic to see him shilling for this.
Because the more this hurts, the more they and everyone else learns from it.
Because they haven't apologised.
Because the 'beer' tastes like shit.
Tactics, morals and product quality are all in alignment on this. There is no reason to drink that swill.
(E: AND gates is heavily invested in it now)
I want an apology, and I don't even drink
Actions have consequence, it is time they learn. They shall be an example for any foolish business that do not know best.

I don't really understand why anyone gave Budlight a first chance to be perfectly honest.
