When prominent conservatives called for a boycott of Bud Light earlier this month, after it partnered with transgender Tiktok influencer Dylan Mulvaney, former President Donald Trump remained uncharacteristically tight-lipped.
…
Indeed, Real Clear Politics noted that Trump is "MIA" on the boycott, ignoring repeated requests for comment from the outlet on the topic.
…
The Independent was the first to report on financial disclosures showing that Trump is an investor in the company that produces Bud Light.
Trump's most recent 101-page disclosures form, which was filed with the Federal Election Commission on April 14, shows that Trump owns between $1 million and $5 million in Anheuser Busch InBev under an account listed as "DJT Trust — Investment Account #2."

We’re supposed to care …why? Exactly?
BI? Please l won’t spend one second thinking about anything from them.
Keep in mind AB used to be a “good” company popular with conservatives before it became a bad company.
They are blaming Trump for not selling his AB stock.
ALMOST EVERY person owns AB stock in their portfolio...geesh.
Fighting WOKE is not important to you?
The Dems aren’t the only party with a compromised candidate…
BI doesn’t know squat.
Now we know why Don Jr was urging people to end the boycott.
I’d be surprised if he didn’t have AB licensing deals at his golf courses, resorts, etc as well. Profits over principles.
If true, I’m surprised that Trump owns alcohol companies stock since he does not drink. We’ve seen reports already about his defense of Disney because he owns Disney stock. So, maybe true about bud light.
Trump has few core convictions and the cult doesn’t care. Trump will never fight the social decline in this country. He has to be brought to the table kicking and screaming.
ALMOST EVERY person owns AB stock in their portfolio...geesh.Yep. They're a popular choice for 401K mutual funds.
Trump has always been pro-gay. He isn’t a hardcore social conservative and never has been one. This is well-known. Probably a good hold seeing as he “only” has $5 million in what prior to a disastrous marketing decision was THE American beer in Bud/Bud Light.
Pretty much, if you own stock mutual funds. It's because of mutual fund investing that sometimes can keep an individual company's stock from cratering if the rest of the fund is performing well.
Just business.
And at a loss. Plus, it seems this investment is in a trust which leads me to believe that Trump may not be able to direct the trust to buy or sell any stock.
According to Forbes, in 2023 Trump is worth $2.5 billion. $5 million represents 0.2 percent of his worth. Guess again.
No doubt he also owns stock in other beer companies that will benefit from sales growth that has come as a result of Bud Light’s Dylan Mulvaney fiasco.
