If you’re forever setting ambitious goals and then forgetting about them, an extra kick in the butt may help you stick to your plan. That’s the idea behind TrumpYourGoals, a service that will donate your money to the politician you hate most if you fail to reach your goal.


There’s a small amount of research suggesting that attaching financial consequences to goals gives them more weight, especially if failing to reach the goal results in you donating to an “anti-charity” you disagree with. And if your friends share your political leanings, putting high stakes on your goal can amplify the benefits of making your goal public. If they’re on board, too, they can help support you in your goal—whether that’s losing weight, running a certain number of miles, or anything else you decide you absolutely must achieve.

Once you decide on your goal, anti-charity, and the amount of money you’ll pledge, TrumpYourGoals asks for your credit card number. (You can also name an accountability buddy.) They’ll charge your card if the date comes and goes, unless you reply to their reminder email to declare that you’ve met your goal. In the meantime, you can hit the gym and use your pent-up rage about this election season to push yourself even harder.
