Bad example. The cases where businesses could refuse service to a customer were due to religious freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution. Not liking Trump would not fall under that category. Not sure about the other example though.
In general though, I think this would be fine. As long as this business is not funded or supported by taxpayer money.
“My personal religion requires me to refuse service to Trump supporters.” Boom, protected.
These “religious freedoms” cited are completely arbitrarily defined. Anyone can claim they have a religion with tenets that exclude specific groups of people or promote civil rights abuses. Having a religion that says “you must commit crime” does not actually give you the right within society to commit crime.
It’s ok now because the Supreme Court just upheld that a woman who said she was asked to design a website for a gay wedding by a man “Stewart”, could discriminate and not serve him.
The fact that they tracked him down and found that he has been married to a woman for the last 15 years and the claims may be complete fiction.
The rules have changed so now the court has made discrimination not a bad thing, so the right wing will have to deal with being discriminated against if they want so badly to discriminate themselves.
