Their affinity for Trump and the Tea Party is well known.
Most (all?) of them are real billionaires, and any boycotts or bad press will be meaningless to them.
Reminds me of the tabloid headlines about Brad Pitt coming to grips with his divorce from Angelina. When you're a star and have hundreds of millions of dollars, and you're probably going to have joint custody or visitation, coming to grips is easy.
