In this podcast episode of "A Fresh Perspective with Jeff Charles," Jeff interviews Anthony Constantino, co-founder and CEO of StickerMule. He recently rankled some feathers when he wrote a social media post after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump in which he called for an end to the divisive rhetoric that has permeated political discourse over the past decade.
The post received mixed reactions. Some agreed with Constantino’s sentiments, affirming that the vitriolic rhetoric in political discourse has gotten out of hand. Others criticized the post, arguing that a business leader should not take a political stance.
Donald Trump was shot.

I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far.
People are terrified to admit they support Trump. I’ve been scared myself.
Americans shouldn’t live in fear.
I support Trump. Many at Sticker Mule… pic.twitter.com/mydQpM8GVV
The interview also delves into the current political climate, discussing the aftermath of the Trump assassination attempt and the pervasive political hatred in America. Anthony emphasizes the importance of moving past this hatred and fostering understanding among people with different political views.
He believes that more successful, individuals should speak out against this divisive climate. He also highlights the role of media in exacerbating political divisions and calls for a return to a time when political differences did not lead to personal animosity. Hopefully, time will prove him right.
