Is it because you disagree with the political leanings of the CEO?
Is it because you don't think that corporations should express political biases?
If so, do you maintain a list of companies that you won't do business with based on corporate donations?
Is it because you disagree with a founder or CEO using the platform that their company provides them to amplify their voice?
Your comment is a condemnation of the action of the CEO without any specific concern raised about the action taken, and leaves one to conclude that you are a Trump supporter. That is also fine - the whole point of democracy is to allow people to choose who they vote for.
If I give an organisation my personal data (contact information), and they use it to tell me their personal political opinions, no matter how valid, I would not appreciate that.

This is a good example of "I cannot understand why you do X, therefore I'm sure the reason is Y."
If the email had been in support of Trump, I would feel similarly about not wanting to do business with Expensify, so I can sort of see where OP is coming from. I would feel much less strongly, but also have a distaste in my mouth, if the CEO emailed in support of Romney or McCain during those elections.
Political advocacy can complicate business relations, and its best for everybody to realize that. Which isn't to say that one should avoid political advocacy, just that the costs should be evaluated before deciding to do it or to not do it.
