American Business Stories —
the Anthony Constantino Story
“You can’t kill the American spirit.”
— Anonymous,
July 2024 When a bullet tore through the air and struck the President of the United States, it didn’t just ignite panic. It ignited patriots. Some people watched in fear. Others stood up. Anthony Constantino didn’t flinch. He didn’t wait to see which way the political wind was blowing. He took action.
In a moment where America could have bent, he chose to stand. “If the President can take a bullet for his beliefs,” he said, “then I can take a hit for mine.”
And he has from his business, from activists, even with threats against his safety he never backed down. Because for Anthony, being American means you don’t play it safe when the truth is on the line. This is not a soft story. It’s a story of defiance, of fists and factories, of freedom defended not with hashtags, but with action. It’s the story of a fighter, a builder, and a man who has risked reputation, revenue, and comfort to say what too many are afraid to: that this country is still worth standing up for.
Anthony Constantino never set out to be a politician. He didn’t plan to go viral or become a symbol of unapologetic patriotism. He simply set out to build a business. Sticker Mule, now a global brand serving companies like Google and Netflix, is rooted in factory-floor grit and real-world joy. “I’m a factory guy at heart,” Anthony says, recalling his early days working the line, cracking jokes, and learning to love a hard day’s work. “I hated the office job and loved the factory.”
When asked about his proudest moment, he doesn’t mention revenue or reach. He talks about the night he landed his first professional boxing knockout while still building his company. That balance of drive and discipline runs through everything he touches. From entrepreneurship to the fight world to politics, Anthony does nothing halfway. He built Stimulus, a social network born from frustration with Big Tech censorship.
“They banned the President,” he said. “People don’t fully appreciate how dark that moment was.” When social platforms silenced dissent, Anthony created his own. And even after Elon Musk shifted the online landscape, he continued to innovate, rolling Stimulus features into Sticker Mule Stores to keep his vision alive.
Anthony doesn’t use the word setback. “I don’t really believe in them,” he says. “I just keep moving forward.” Whether in business, boxing, or politics, that mindset has served him well. It’s how he dominated the polls in a crowded congressional field of career politicians. “We aren’t sending our best and brightest to Congress,” he says bluntly. “I had no political background and still led with 47% in internal polling.”
His rise is proof that courage cuts through noise. Anthony has flown a 100-foot “Vote for Trump” banner, emailed pro-Trump messages to customers, and faced backlash from media and rivals alike. But he’s unfazed. “Most politicians are comfortable losing. I played to win.” He brings that same relentlessness to his hometown of Amsterdam, NY, investing millions in revitalization projects, from opening Mule Fitness to designing an “America Loves Trump” park. “It only makes sense,” he says, “My employees live here. Why wouldn’t I make it better?” When he gifted a bronze monument titled “Defiance” to President Trump, it wasn’t about politics. It was about principle. That sculpture, he says, marked a turning point in his life: the moment he chose to stand louder, fight harder, and speak without fear. This is the voice of a man who believes America is still worth fighting for.
