‘Make dating great again’: The hook-up website for single Donald Trump supporters
TrumpSingles has attracted about 500 users since it went live in May
For American singles who have fallen in love with presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump but have been unlucky in their own love life, TrumpSingles is here to play cupid.
The idea for the website came from David Goss, 35, when the lifelong Republican was socialising with his other conservative friends in February, according to the New York Post. TrumpSingles says its goal is “making dating great again,” a twist on Trump’s own catchphrase “Make America great again.”
I think there’s a special stigma when people say they’re supporting Trump ... and it makes it hard for them when trying to date
“I think there’s a special stigma when people say they’re supporting Trump, because of some of the brash things that he’s said,” Goss, an associate TV producer based in Santa Clarita, California, told the paper.
“That immediately gets (projected) on his supporters, and it makes it hard for them when trying to date.”
TrumpSingles has attracted about 500 users, most of them in Washington, D.C., New York and Los Angeles, since it went live in May. The site, which also has a mobile version, allows users to search for their perfect Trump match by inputting their gender, age, location and favourite way to spend time.
For Americans uneasy about the prospects of a Trump presidency, and vowing to go to Canada if he’s elected, there’s another website to help.
