This past Sunday, a tweet listing food businesses and chain restaurants that are allegedly “supporting Trump’s reelection” went viral. The tweet named crowd-favorites like Wendy’s, McDonald’s, In-n-Out & Chick-fil-A.

, the data the original tweet cited isn’t proof that Olive Garden is funding Trump’s re-election. A lot of the data in the tweeter’s sources pertains only to the 2016 presidential election and the contributions mentioned are mostly small donations that came from individual employees who work at these restaurant chains. For example, thepoints to Federal Election Commission data that shows five Starbucks employees donated a total of $800 to Trump.

A quick search in the FEC’s database shows that the largest sum the 2016 Trump campaign received from an Olive Garden employee . It says nothing about the company itself and there is no information to back any claims that the company supports a Trump re-election.
