When you shop at Hobby Lobby you support Donald Trump

From a review by VIrginia Heffernan:
From Oklahoma City to Baghdad, Blanding, an investigative journalist and the author of “The Map Thief,” about an antiquarian map dealer caught lifting precious documents from libraries, tracks the company. We see Green and his heirs through their obsession with proselytizing at scale, most recently in their “He Gets Us” initiative (an ad campaign intended to draw hipsters to Jesus); their impressive mobilization in the War on Christmas; their tireless opposition to contraception and abortion, a principle Hobby Lobby successfully defended before the Supreme Court in 2014; their connections to the fathomlessly criminal global antiquities trade; and their hand (or, mostly, their money) in the elections of Donald Trump.  [emphasis added]
