LISTEN HERE:
Donald Trump Jr. recently spoke out on his podcast to defend Anheuser-Busch, one of America’s most iconic beer conglomerates, which has faced intense backlash for partnering with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney. Trump urged his listeners not to boycott the company and instead stressed that the executives have learned a valuable lesson from their mistake.
While the beer company faced heavy criticism for its collaboration with Mulvaney, Trump argued that it would be wrong to destroy such an iconic American company over one marketing campaign. In his own words, “Anheuser-Busch totally sh*t the bed with this Dylan Mulvaney thing. I’m not, though, for destroying an American, an iconic company for something like this.”
Trump clarified that he doesn’t blame the entire company for the actions of one individual, stating, “When I actually look into it, I’m not gonna blame the whole company for the inaction or the stupidity of someone in a marketing campaign that got woke as hell.” Moreover, he highlighted the fact that Anheuser-Busch donates slightly more to conservative politicians than liberal ones, making it a company that aligns with conservative values.
Trump also emphasized that Anheuser-Busch doesn’t participate in the same “leftist nonsense” or “woke garbage” as other big conglomerates. He pointed out that the beer industry has several worse offenders, and he urged his listeners to continue buying their beer. However, he warned that if the company were to repeat its mistake, then it would be time to “screw them.”
Mulvaney, a trans activist and social media influencer who gained prominence by interviewing President Biden about LGBTQ issues in 2022, recently revealed that the beer company sent packs of Bud Light with her face printed on the cans as part of an ad for the beer company’s March Madness contest and as a way to celebrate a full year of “girlhood.” This move has caused a significant uproar among many conservative Americans.
Anheuser-Busch CEO Brendan Whitworth published a statement on Friday. He expressed his desire to bring people together over a beer and emphasized the importance of accountability and American values, which he learned while serving his country. He stated, “As CEO of Anheuser-Busch, I am focused on building and protecting our remarkable history and heritage.”
Despite Whitworth’s statement, there has been criticism from both sides of the transgender issue, with social media users questioning the meaning behind Anheuser-Busch’s message. However, Trump Jr. has made it clear that the company’s record of supporting conservative politicians and its history as an iconic American company are reasons why his conservative audience should continue buying their beer.
Don Jr. calls for an end to the Bud Light boycott. Apparently we need to let pushing troons on us days after one killed six Christians slide because “American iconic company” or something… pic.twitter.com/0dIJeQdgQx

Donald Trump Jr.’s message to conservative Americans is to give Anheuser-Busch a second chance and not let cancel culture destroy a company that has a long-standing history of contributing to the American economy. While the company made a mistake with its partnership with Mulvaney, it doesn’t participate in the same leftist nonsense as other conglomerates, and its support for conservative politicians makes it a company worth supporting.
