Sticker Mule CEO Advocates for Trump as a Stand Against Political Hate

In a bold move that defies corporate norms, Anthony Constantino, CEO and co-founder of Sticker Mule, has publicly endorsed Donald Trump for president, aiming to bring an end to the political hatred dividing the nation. In a recent interview, Constantino expressed his hope that by speaking out, he can inspire others to come forward with their support for Trump, pushing back against the toxic narratives propagated by the media.

Constantino’s message is simple: if all Trump supporters were vocal about their beliefs, the widespread hate would dissipate. “If all Trump supporters spoke up at the same time, this hate problem would disappear all at once,” he said. Constantino believes that many who buy into the media’s portrayal of Trump supporters as hateful would be forced to confront the reality that friends and family who support Trump are, in fact, decent and compassionate people.

His decision to speak out publicly follows a viral moment in July when he called for an end to “political hate” after an assassination attempt on Trump. That statement garnered over 12 million views and attracted attention from major outlets like The Wall Street Journal and Wired. In it, Constantino said, “No one should have to die and sacrifice the happiness of their family to run for office.”

On Tuesday, Constantino took things further by officially endorsing Trump, calling him the "max happiness president," praising his economic success and global diplomacy during his first term. He highlighted Trump’s humor and bravery, contrasting it with what he sees as a culture of bullying against both Trump and his supporters.

• Political hate: Constantino’s July message calling for an end to political hatred reached 12.2 million views and sparked a national conversation.

• Endorsement: The Sticker Mule CEO praised Trump for his economic and diplomatic achievements, dubbing him the "max happiness president."

• Bullying of Trump supporters: Constantino noted that many Trump supporters, himself included, have been bullied for their views and that this problem will only end when more people speak up.

Despite facing a barrage of threats and hateful messages following his public support for Trump, Constantino remained undeterred. “I would say our email volume went up 50 or 100 times a lot of people saying I should kill myself,” he revealed. But despite the backlash, Constantino noted that none of his employees quit, crediting the goodwill he’s fostered within the company. He even issued a $2,500 bonus to his customer support team, who bore the brunt of the online harassment.

Sticker Mule, which operates in 39 countries and services major clients like Google and Facebook, continues to thrive despite Constantino’s vocal Trump support. In fact, he received positive feedback from many, including Trump supporters who remain quiet about their political leanings. Constantino hopes his openness will encourage others to do the same.

His message is clear: speaking up, respectfully and confidently, is the key to stopping political hatred. “I think it’s important for people to see what happened to me and learn from it,” Constantino said, urging Trump supporters to take a stand. “As long as you speak up in a respectful way, everything’s gonna be fine, and you can help fix this problem.”

With the 2024 election around the corner, Constantino’s stand is a reminder that the political divide in America can only heal when more people, especially Trump supporters, reject the fear of backlash and voice their beliefs.
