Dylan Mulvaney Calls Trump's $35 Billion Bud Light Mockery a Compliment

3 articles · Updated · ms.now · Jul 27

Summary

  • Mulvaney said in a Sunday video that Trump's White House Correspondents' Dinner insults were "the greatest compliment of all," casting the attack as validation rather than a setback.
  • Trump had revived her 2023 Bud Light partnership in Friday's speech, claiming it cost the brewer $35 billion in market value and joking he would not hire her; the room reportedly met part of the roast with silence.
  • The president kept the episode alive Sunday by posting an AI-generated image of Kaitlan Collins' face on Mulvaney's body from the ad, after also mocking Collins during the dinner.
  • Mulvaney said she had kept a low profile and questioned why the administration was still fixated on a 3-year-old campaign, urging viewers to treat attacks on transgender and nonbinary people as a call to support them.
