That\u2019s not something people should do to anyone, because there are incidents where people have responded. The response, in a sense, did shock me, but it also verified that I correctly identified a big problem.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-BCDEK sc-kiTBBF sc-jgraLO sc-eKzvBH cIjgQI QtMUQ gujKlM gWQEzs\" data-nosnippet=\"true\" readability=\"7\">\n<p>Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div readability=\"9\">\n<p>And despite the backlash, Constantino said he doesn\u2019t regret his tweet at all. This instance wasn\u2019t the first time he\u2019s experienced such hate over supporting Trump.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div readability=\"12\">\n<p>\u201cI got a front-row seat to the hatred directed at Trump supporters actually dating back to 2016. I made a small donation to candidate Trump at the time. I bought Christmas ornaments off his website as a joke. I thought it would be fun to hand out to various people, whether they were Trump supporters or not,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div readability=\"14\">\n<p>\u201cActually, everyone loved it and thought it was a funny joke, but it counted as a campaign contribution. So some influencer, small-time influencer, found out about it and posted about it. It went viral.
