“You know, it really doesn’t matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass,” Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, told Esquire magazine in 1991.
But where are his acolytes and voters supposed to find said young and beautiful pieces of ass? Enter TrumpSingles.com, which claims to be “Making 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,” David Goss, the founder of the site, told the New York Post. “That immediately gets [projected] on his supporters, and it makes it hard for them when trying to date.” He insists the site isn’t a parody, though he feared people would view it that way.
Goss told the Post the dating site went live in May, and already has more than 500 users, mostly in urban centers like D.C., Los Angeles, and New York City. But when I tried to join their ranks, I got this message:
Sad!
If you don’t mind a one message per day limit, membership is free. But if you prefer to message as frequently as Trump tweets, you can pay $4.95 for a monthly subscription.
Trump has made no secret of cheating on at least one of his wives, but Goss doesn’t want TrumpSingles to be like Ashley Madison. “We’re not a hookup service,” he told the Post. “We want to be an actual real dating site that helps people find real love.”
He wants to launch a mobile app in the next week.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen candidate-specific online matchmaking. A dating site for Bernie Sanders supporters, BernieSingles.com, says it has a community of more than 12 million. “Yes, Bernie supporters exist outside of Facebook,” the site says. “Here’s where you can meet them.”
