The Bud Light boycott is having epic results. Not only are sales cratering, but a Trump-friendly beer company is benefitting at their expense.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported the crisis for Bud Light has become so severe that Costco is practically giving the product away.
Instead of apologizing for insulting their customers, executives such Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris think throwing money at the problem will cause former patrons to eventually forget and come back.
Beer Business Daily on Monday shared the overall domestic beer sales numbers. The news was not pretty for Anheuser-Busch, Bud Light’s parent company.

Australian lawmakers call on US to drop Assange extradition bid
The WikiLeaks founder is facing 175 years in prison if convicted of espionage charges
A delegation of Australian lawmakers called for the United States to end its attempts to extradite and prosecute Julian Assange during a meeting with US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy in Canberra on Tuesday.
The ‘Bring Julian Assange Home Parliamentary Group’ informed Washington’s chief diplomat in Australia that its citizens had expressed “widespread concern” at the continued detention in Britain of the WikiLeaks founder, who is an Australian national, as well as attempts to extradite him to the United States to face espionage charges.
In 2010, Assange’s WikiLeaks platform published sensitive US government documents leaked by former US Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.
“There are a range of views about Assange in the Australian community and the members of the parliamentary group reflect that diversity of views,” the cross-party group said in a statement following the meeting with Kennedy on Tuesday. “But what is not in dispute in the group is that Mr. Assange is being treated unjustly.”
The group’s co-chair, independent MP Andrew Wilkie, added on Tuesday that the Australian parliament had also expressed “broad concern” for Assange, as outlined in statements of support last week by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and opposition leader Peter Dutton. Albanese, in particular, was a noted critic of Assange’s detention throughout his successful election campaign in 2022.

Trump to appeal battery, defamation verdict in E. Jean Carroll case
The former president's legal team previously sought a mistrial, asserting that Judge Lewis Kaplan had a history of "pervasive unfair and prejudicial rulings" against Trump. Kaplan denied that motion.
Former President Donald Trump will appeal a recent court decision in which a jury found him liable for battery and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll, who had brought a civil case against him.
The jury on Tuesday awarded Carroll a total of $5 million in damages stemming from both determinations. Trump faces no jail time due to the civil nature of the case, which was only possible due to a New York law that temporarily suspended the statute of limitations. The incident took place in the 1990s.
Trump attorney Joseph Tacopina, shortly after the verdict, told The Epoch Times that Trump would appeal the decision. The former president's legal team previously sought a mistrial, asserting that Judge Lewis Kaplan had a history of "pervasive unfair and prejudicial rulings" against Trump. Kaplan denied that motion.
The basis of a prospective appeal remains unclear and Tacopina did not outline his argument to the outlet. Trump continues to deny Carroll's claims, calling the verdict a "disgrace" and part of "the greatest witch hunt of all time!"
A Trump campaign spokesperson pointed to the New York venue of the trial, asserting that Trump had fought the court case in hostile territory.
"The Democratic Party’s never-ending witch-hunt of President Trump hit a new low today. In jurisdictions wholly controlled by the Democratic Party our nation’s justice system is now compromised by extremist left-wing politics," the spokesperson told the Times. "We have allowed false and totally made-up claims from troubled individuals to interfere with our elections, doing great damage."
