I wish to economically boycott Trumpism. Can you give me a list I should be boycotting to hurt the maga movement?
I'm not going to tell you what you must or must not do these are complex issues. But I can pull together information on companies, individuals, or funds that are known to financially support Donald Trump or "MAGA"-aligned causes, so you have data to make informed decisions about who to avoid if you want to "vote with your wallet." Always good to verify the latest, because political giving changes over time.
Here are some names / entities that are documented to have strongly supported Trump or MAGA causes, plus notes & caveats. If you want, I can try to build a current vetted list specific to your region or sector (tech, food, retail, etc.)
Entities with strong MAGA / Trump ties
Entity
What is Known
Caveats / Notes to Consider
Point Bridge Capital (MAGA ETF)
An investment firm that runs a MAGA-branded ETF, picking companies with strong GOP / MAGA support. Avoiding investing via that fund or in its holdings would align with a boycott. But many companies in it are large and diversified, hard to avoid entirely.
Mercer Family Foundation
Run by Rebekah Mercer (daughter of Robert Mercer), known for funding conservative causes and Trump aligned groups.
Avoiding donations or purchasing from entities heavily funded by this foundation may matter to some.
Prince Foundation
(Edgar & Elsa Prince Foundation / Erik Prince)
Supports conservative Christian groups, some aligned with MAGA ideology.
Preserve America PAC
A Super PAC that supports Donald Trump, with large contributions from Miriam Adelson and others.
GeoSouthern Energy
Oil & gas company; owners have donated significant sums to Trump / MAGA Inc. super PACs.
CrownQuest Operating
Similar: heavy MAGA/Republican support in campaign contributions.
Witkoff Group
Real estate development firm; Steven Witkoff personally has given to Trumpaligned causes.
M&M Industries
Has given a large percentage of its political donations to Trump / MAGAaligned PACs.
Hendricks Holding Co.
Owned by Diane Hendricks, one of the major donors to Trump/MAGA.
Uline
Owned by the Uihlein family, which has been a large donor. Also the company has been the subject of reporting around labor practices.
"1789 Capital"
A venture capital / investment firm promoting "patriotic capitalism," anti-ESG, etc. It has ties to Trump Jr.; invests in firms aligned with conservative or MAGA adjacent values.
Other companies where individuals or owners gave large sums
These might be trickier, because the donation is by individuals, PACs, or owners, not necessarily the whole company's revenue deriving from politics. But for some people that's enough reason to avoid them.
Companies listed in Newsweek's List of Companies and Executives Who Have Donated to Donald Trump include ABC Supply, Uline, Pratt Industries, British American Tobacco, and others.
ExxonMobil is also frequently mentioned in donation lists.
Some food companies, consumer brands, etc., appear in lists of companies whose leadership or associated donors are heavily MAGA/Republican leaning. E.g., Flowers Foods, Hanes Brands, Hobby Lobby etc.
Things to be careful about (caveats)
Just because a company's owner or CEO or some executives donate to MAGA causes doesn't always mean the company, in its business practices, production, or internal culture, is centrally supporting MAGA. The choice to boycott may have trade-offs (higher prices, fewer options, sometimes difficulty in verifying how much of the revenue goes to those causes).
Some information is outdated. Donations are public record (FEC etc.) but many entities shift over time. Before deciding to boycott, checking recent filings is wise.
Some boycotts can have unintended consequences (e.g. harming employees rather than owners). People often choose to boycott at different levels: avoiding direct support (their sales, merchandise, stocks) rather than punishing every worker or local branch.
The signal of a boycott matters less if the boycott is smaller than the company's market or if people don't know it exists collective action helps.
