Adolphus Busch - Why Trump's followers are boycotting his beer

One of this year's Super Bowl ads has hit the wrong chord with supporters of Donald Trump's restrictive immigration policy. The ad uses the moving story of German-born Adolphus Busch (1839 - 1913), who left his native Mainz-Kastel as an 18-year-old and later founded Anheuser-Busch in St. Louis, a major U.S. port in the State of Missouri.
