No. But it's an HR issue if owner/partner/exec acts on, gives *appearance* of supporting racist rhetoric (attends rally, donates $$).

So managers get fired only if they *openly* support Trump?

No. Dialogue/discovery. Same as if one discovered a partner attended a David Duke rally or donated money to an anti-Semitic charity.

Presumably this is mandatory? I.e. managers who openly support Trump but refuse to talk about it get fired?

Workplaces should be as laissez-faire as possible--not in loco parentis. You resort to a zero sum fallacy of "firing" or nothing.

I'm not saying it's firing or nothing. I just want to know precisely what you propose to fire people for.

You began this conversation by advocating firing people. I'm trying to narrow down which people you meant by that.

I'm not advocating firing. "Just cause" requires documented misbehavior + progressive discipline.
