Many celebrities along with social media<br />
users are bringing awareness to and calling<br />
for the cancellation of companies that<br />
support Donald Trump and his campaign<br />
efforts.<br />
Those that remember the Watergate<br />
scandal, know it’s illegal for people to<br />
secretly donate to a presidential candidate.<br />
Hush money powerful politicians and<br />
company leaders get around this is by<br />
donating to 501(c)(4), 501(c)(6) and other<br />
advocacy groups that donate money to<br />
single candidates during their campaign,<br />
according to the Center for Responsive<br />
Politics and the Brennan Center for<br />
Justice. This form of “dark money” or<br />
“dark donations” is how elected officials<br />
are essentially able to receive unlimited<br />
amounts of money from private donors<br />
since these non-profits can engage in<br />
limited political activity and raise/donate as<br />
much as they want without disclosing their<br />
donors.<br />
People can look up which individuals from<br />
certain companies donated to politicians’<br />
campaigns using the FEC or websites like<br />
Good Unite Us. According to the Federal<br />
Election Commission, Trump has already<br />
received $43,814,715.72 in contributions<br />
for his re-election campaign and also<br />
notoriously funds his own campaign being<br />
a billionaire.<br />
Uline faces boycotts over its owner's<br />
association with Donald Trump and huge<br />
dark money donations.<br />
If you're not familiar with Uline, this<br />
company is the preferred shipping supplies<br />
vendor for the beauty industry. The<br />
founder Rihcard Uihlein has donated<br />
millions of dollars to pro-Trump PAC's and<br />
committee. According to reports, Richard<br />
donated $500K to America First Action<br />
Super PAC, $200K Great America PAC,<br />
$3.5 million to Tea Party Patriots Citizen's<br />
Fund Super PAC, $500K Trump Inaugural<br />
Committee, and $5.4K to Donald Trump's<br />
2016 election campaign. During the 2020<br />
election cycle, Uline is the second biggest<br />
donor of Trump's campaign.<br />
