Trump supporters do not like criticism, even if it's not direct criticism, or really criticism at all. The ad simply shows the relatively accurate historical roots of the original Anheuser-Busch brewers. There was anti-german immigrant sentiment at the time, and anti-immigrant protests. People thought the Germans would "change america" with their strange culture. So it was not lost on the Trumpites that history seems to be repeating itself, and for some reason that was especially upsetting. :chuckle:

Tons of superbowl ads were "political". Already complaining and boycott threats.

Fox wouldn't even show this one in its entirety because . . .controversy.

I can understand why a 5 minute commercial wouldn't be used, regardless of content.
