“I think so, they’re so impressed with what our country will become that they decided to do this before the fact,” Trump told Fox and Friends over the phone.
Anheuser-Busch announced the Budweiser name change on Tuesday, saying that it was repackaging 12-ounce bottles and cans with “America” from May 23 through the November election.
Anheuser-Busch did not immediately return a request for comment.
