Trump supporter looking for love? There’s a new dating site just for you
Passions often run high at Donald Trump rallies, but supporters of the presumptive Republican nominee can now channel that energy into finding love on a dating site of their own.
David Goss, 35, decided to start the site in February after hearing from conservative friends that supporting the real estate businessman had made dating difficult for them.
So he started TrumpSingles.com, a dating site that, like its candidate, promises to make dating “great again.”
“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 told the New York Post. “That immediately gets [projected] on his supporters, and it makes it hard for them when trying to date.”
The site, Goss said, is an entirely serious endeavor he hopes will help users “find real love.”
“At first I was concerned that people would think this was a parody site,” Goss, who is already married, said to the Post. “But people have told me that they’re so happy they can finally go on dates without worrying about political differences.”
The free version lets love seekers send one message a day, though they can pay $4.95 a month to contact the objects of their affection more frequently.
Goss, a longtime Republican from California, said more than 500 users have signed up for the site since it launched last month and he hopes to release a mobile app soon.
Trump Singles isn’t the only presidential-candidate-themed dating site to have cropped up this election cycle. BernieSingles.com, which grew out of a popular Facebook page, promises to be a site “where progressives meet” and "the 1% aren't the only ones getting screwed this election season."
