Big beer strut

I can see how this sort of "in your face " marketing would appeal to some people out there but does anybody else see this as threatening and/or posturing along the lines of a Donald Trump mentality?

Hey Carla,

I totally get where you're coming from, but I actually kind of liked the commercial... Let me say this - Budweiser has decades of success, so they're not just blowing steam like Mr. Trump. Bud can back up their braggadocio with facts, while Trump is just an egomaniac!

With that said, I could be biased - I do love a frosty Bud Light Lime in the summer! :lol:

I guess gone are the days when they advertised with puppies and wisdom infused horses. It's just that these new ads look like so much posturing against the smaller craft distillers which, given the disproportionately HUGE marketing advantage that the big distillers (like Bud) have over the independents , well...they just come off as imperialists or bullies. Hence my likening to Trump.
Still, no fault, in any way, to you if you enjoy their product.
