Donald Trump published a rant on Tuesday asking his supporters to give Anheuser-Busch, the maker of Bud Light, a “second chance” after conservatives loudly boycotted the brand for its brief partnership with transgender social media star Dylan Mulvaney—but he left out one important piece of information.
The former president appears to own a sizable pile of the company’s stock, Federal Election Commission records show. Documents certified last October show Trump holds as much as $5 million dollars of Anheuser-Busch Inbev stock, raising questions about the ethics of his apparent endorsement of the company.
“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 on his Truth Social platform.
