Are you frustrated by getting the door slammed in your face every time you mention to a potential date that you are a big Donald Trump fan? Apparently being a Trump fan on the larger dating websites is such a negative that someone decided to make their own site, just for Trump fans. It’s Trump.dating and it featured the couple above, all smiles in their Make America Great Again hats. From the site’s hilarious opening pitch to potential users, where you can “Find the America First partner of your dreams”:
Dating in 2018 is more of a challenge than ever before, thanks in part to today's polarizing political landscape. While searching for a potential partner on other dating sites, it's not uncommon to see messages like No Trump supporters or Proud liberal. We're wrecking the dating game and giving like-minded Americans a chance to meet without the awkwardness that comes with the first conversation about politics. Wouldn't it be refreshing to already know that your date roots for the same team?
Unfortunately for Trump.dating, they are probably getting more attention than they’d hoped for because the dark history of the lead models, married couple Barrett and Jodi Riddleberger, is now becoming public as well, including Barrett’s past conviction for “indecent liberties with a child.”
From WRAL:
The site has gotten some media coverage recently, primarily because it's designed to serve only straight people, letting people sign up only if they choose "straight man" or "straight woman" at the outset. Some reports have also noted that, once a person gets past the initial sign-up page, he or she can choose "happily married" or "unhappily married" as a status before finalizing a profile and meeting new potential dates.
Barrett Riddleberger said in a text message Monday that the marital status issue was a mistake and was being fixed by a programmer. Just what role he and his wife have in the site is unclear. He offered to discuss the site with WRAL News, but only if the station promised to write about "the present, not the past."
WRAL News would not agree to that. Riddleberger's past includes a felony conviction for taking indecent liberties with a child in in 1995. The charge stemmed from his videotaping himself having sex with a 15-year-old girl when he was 25, the Greensboro News & Record reported in 2014.
WRAL notes the couple has been married for 22 years, but videotaping yourself having sex with a 15-year-old child is especially heinous.
Deplorable conviction aside, let’s go back to the fact you can select “happily married” or “unhappily married” on the Trump fan dating website. They are truly modeling themselves after their philandering president, eh?
We believe that by matching patriotic and political viewpoints as a base foundation of the relationship, it will allow one to focus on what really matters -- conversation, commonalities, and if all goes well, courting. Being with someone who shares the same core standards is absolutely essential if you're truly searching for a real, life-changing relationship and we have a feeling that if you're on this site, that's exactly what you're looking for. So, what are you waiting for?
Apparently those core values include cheating on your spouse. Good luck on the dating scene, shit bags.
