One of the golden rule of first , second , and even third dates is to not talk politics . And that advice is for sure sound … most of the time . But given the divisive nature of this election year , it might be heady to lay all your political cards on the table before anyone gets too attach .
To that end , there’sTrumpSingles.com– the web site dedicated to “ have dating great again . ” But is the situation the rage - satisfy tailboard I look / hoped it to be ?
Not exactly .

Mickey Mouse might be a Republican
The first disturbing matter I discover was how exchangeable the interface is to thedating web site for Disney fans I profile . The two areexactlythe same .
typeset up your profile easy easy enough : just answer a few canonical questions ( astonishingly , no political ones ? ) , set up your parameters for who you ’re concerned in , and search away .
And just like Mouse Mingle and so many others , Trump Singles can initiate an interchange by “ winking ” at their crushes . Classy .

Gay is A-OK. And so are minorities.
One of the most obvious doubt I had about the internet site was how inclusive it would be . But believe it or not , there are n’t any walls here . TrumpSingles.com does n’t discriminate by sexual druthers – whether you ’re gay , uncoiled , or somewhere in the middle .
David Gross , the site ’s father , has pushed inclusivity since twenty-four hour period one , tellingTimethat the service was made becauseTrump singles are so marginalized and estimate . " You are not alone , " he vowed .
I have to say , there were a shocking amount of minorities on the land site . And while it ’s by no substance a United Colors of Benetton advertizement , there ’s more variety than I would have ever expected . And the users are on every nook of the world , from the back country of West Virginia to … West Africa ?

None of the women or minorities responded to my winking advances – peculiarly unfortunate , since I had a net ton of questions for these kinfolk . This made me question whether the profile I peruse were actually decoy for multiculturalism , World Wide Web equivalents to those troublesome “ Latinos Para Trump ” signs at the RNC .
And another thing : the misogyny throughout the website was observably tame than it is on Tinder . Not sure whether to range this is a win , though ?
There were zero payoffs on the pay-to-play site
Nothing ’s free here – and to get going a conversation with any of your peer , you ’re going to devote . For $ 4.99 you may become a VIP and talk to your potential soulmates about banning Muslims . Otherwise , you’re able to only wink at them . So I ponied up the five bucks , all in the name of serious investigative journalism of track .
Except apparently no one is ever online – at , least no one fitting my picky standard of … men and women between the ages of 18 - 90 . I did my due diligence and send out some winks , and did finally get a brace New York minute back . The one conversation I did superintend to get going did n’t move much beyond awkward introductions .
Probably for the best though – since this particular user was 19 , had his high school day graduation photo as his avatar , and is a ego - described “ hardcore Republican . ” His profile also said he was a big Drake and J. Cole fan , but I did n’t get the probability to ask him how he felt about them both being born in other rural area . Noticeably lacking on his and other profile was any major political broadside or series of anti-Semite remarks as I expected .
Ditto for the few earnest - go profile I find – full of predictable “ all - American ” and “ traditional house value ” platitudes . Most interesting to me was an evangelical rant by one Latina substance abuser , though even that bomb to transgress .
Trump Singles: making dating fake again
I ’d never performed so poorly on a dating site , but I ’m select to take that as a compliment . For the most part , I ’d hazard to conclude the majority of the profiles are either fake , dry , or create for diarist doing the same snooping as me . I ’ll also remark ( perhaps unsurprisingly ) that I could only find one match within the five borough .
All in all , I found TrumpSingles.com to be deceptive and absolutely useless . Go ahead and sop up your own conclusion as far as what that might intend in the gravid picture .
