"Trump Calls for Second Chance for Anheuser-Busch and Bud Light"

Donald Trump, who owns between $1 million and $5 million in Anheuser-Busch stock, urged his supporters to give Bud Light a "second chance" following a conservative boycott over a brief partnership with a transgender influencer. Trump's endorsement raised questions about the ethics of promoting a company in which he holds a significant financial stake. Despite the backlash, Trump highlighted Anheuser-Busch's contributions to American farmers and veterans, and teased a list of "woke" companies he was compiling. Bud Light's attempts to rebrand itself post-controversy and boost sales, including a new sponsorship with comedian Shane Gillis, come as its sales remain down 30 percent.
