After throwing support behind former President Donald Trump in the wake of his assassination attempt earlier this month, custom merchandise website Sticker Mule has joined digital marketplace PublicSquare.
On July 13, the former president was shot at while speaking in Butler, Pennsylvania. After several shots were heard, Trump dropped to the floor of the stage as Secret Service rushed to protect him. More shots were heard before Secret Service helped Trump to his feet. It was later confirmed Trump was hit in the ear by the gunman.
Trump then held his fist in the air as he was escorted offstage by Secret Service.
Later that day, Sticker Mule cofounder Anthony Constantino shared a lengthy post on X declaring the company's unabashed support for Trump and offered a message of unity for those of differing political views.
Shortly after Constantino's posts, many disgruntled customers and other critics of the former president began emailing death threats to employees of the company. Constantino later announced each employee on the company's support team had received $2,500 bonuses for fielding death threats.
PublicSquare CEO Michael Seifert announced their partnership with Sticker Mule on Tuesday morning.
"We at PublicSquare are thrilled to join forces with Sticker Mule whose CEO courageously spoke up on behalf of all Trump supporters following the death of Corey Comperatore and the assassination attempt," Seifert wrote.

"I don’t care what your political views are but the hate for Trump and his supporters has gone too far," Constantino wrote in Sticker Mule's statement of support for Trump. "People are terrified to admit they support Trump. I’ve been scared myself. Americans shouldn’t live in fear."
The statement continued:Many at Sticker Mule do. Many at Sticker Mule also support Biden. The political hate needs to stop. Today a bullet almost killed Donald Trump. He’s got 5 kids. One’s still a teenager. No one should have to die and sacrifice the happiness of their family to run for office. If Donald Trump can risk that, the least the rest of us can do is vocalize our support and help end the hate. The more people realize that kind-hearted, compassionate people support Trump, the sooner the hate will end. I’m speaking up today and will do more in the future to stop this insane political hate.
"Awesome people, all over the world, love Trump," Constantino concluded. "Don’t limit your friendships, and diminish your happiness by indulging in political hate. Vocalize your support. Stop the hate."
Along with Trump, two others in the crowd were injured by gunfire, along with a third man who was killed while protecting his wife and daughter.
