Could affiliation with donald trump hurt job applications?

I've seen a few of you SJWs on linkedin volunteered for the Clinton campaign. Do you guys think my donations to the Donald will hurt my applications? Obviously some cuck bank like UBS would look down but I think Lazard would see it as a plus.

 

It shouldn't matter, which is not to say it doesn't matter. In theory, your political affiliation shouldn't impact your ability to get the job. In reality, getting a job is based on you getting the person on the other side of the table to like you and the Donald causes a rather visceral reaction.

Following up on that further, donations are different from work experience. You are considering putting down that you donated to Trump, purely highlighting your support of his candidacy. At that point, you're making your politics fair game for the interview. Easy question, to ask if I were an interviewer,"I see here you put down that you donated to the Trump campaign, why did you choose to support his candidacy?" At that point you're talking ideology. If someone disagrees with your ideology (which inevitably someone will since you will be interviewing across a broad group of diverse individuals), you put yourself in a bad spot. Even if it wasn't ideological differences, this would give me as an interviewer, a very easy venue to test your ability to handle pressure by twisting the knife a lot given all the controversy surrounding his presidency.

More simplistically, if your interviewer... - likes you as a candidate, agrees with your politics - great - likes you as a candidate, disagrees with your politics - bad - dislikes you as a candidate, agrees with your politics - still bad - dislikes you as a candidate, disagrees with your politics - very bad

You just cut your pool of potential recruiting champions in half. So, in my view, little to gain, more to lose.

This is not meant to be political, just a practical/realistic view of the fact that the interviewer is human and natural human psychology matters.

No, I can only see it as a better way to sell yourself. Remember the key points though to stand out if you take this stance:

1) Denounce any competitors of the company you're interviewing for. 2) Make sure to have a fresh new perm. 3) The questions they ask are only optional. Really just talk about what you feel like. 4) Speak slowly and assume they're slow. End sentences with one word for emphasis. Sad. 5) Do it up as bigly as you possible can. 6) Remember that it's your job to end the interview by firing them.

You're a poor troll. That's neither well done or creative.

In cas anyone dos have this question or it's serious (which I doubt).

Yes. Most of these jobs are in large coastal cities, with people who have only lived in large coastal cities. Without having seen what's happening to rural America firsthand it's almost impossible to understand why people would be willing to vote for Trump, so they're more likely to gravitate towards the assumption that the only reason someone would support Trump is because they're a bigot/xenophobic/misogynist/etc.

 

I've noticed some buysiders are....but a lot of the junior levels I've run into are flamingly liberal.

I use that phraseology for a reason. Very few pro-Trumpers are going to care much that you were involved in a supporting activity, yet almost all of the rabid anti-trumpers are going to assume that you're a racist bigot idiot for supporting him.

Trump is my example here but some variant of this is generally true with anything political. I wouldn't put anything overt on a resume unless it was major professional work experience (e.g. being a campaign data analyst or something like that).
