Donald Trump is killing romance. Is there nothing this guy cannot ruin?

Me, killing romance? You know that's not true, right Ivanka?

In the treacherous, amusing and sometimes rewarding world of online dating, Donald Trump has become the newest way to find – or reject – a romantic match. 

“Did you vote for or do you support Trump? Then I’m not your man. It would never work,” one user says in the opener to his bio on Tinder, a popular mobile dating platform that boasts 26 million matches per day. 

“Trump voters please swipe left, and go to your room and think about what you’ve done,” wrote another Tinder user, referring to the way to dismiss a potential date in the app. 

“What I’m looking for . . . well, in this crazy day and age, first and foremost, someone who did not vote for Trump,” says a profile on Bumble, a dating app in which women make the first move. 

Since his election, the president has become a new measure of compatibility – much like someone’s age, religion, wanting kids or simply finding things in common. Dating, online and off, is more supercharged with politics than it’s ever been, said online dating experts who specialize in matchmaking. 

“His presidency has created this new deal-breaker,” said Laurie Davis Edwards, a relationship coach and founder of the website eflirtexpert.com. 

“I’ve never seen it like this before, where people say ‘no’ to Trump supporters, or they only want to date other Trump supporters,” she said. “It tells me that people are valuing politics much higher as a preference than they were before. ... It’s another example of how massively our dating culture has changed over the past four years, partly because of politics and also because of technology.”

This may seem a little tongue in cheek, but would YOU date a Trump supporter?

Because I most certainly would not!

In fact I would take it even further than that and reject a potential employee who voted for Trump.

In my mind that speaks to your intellect and your judgment.

Trump supporters may have all kinds of excuses for why they cast their vote, but not one of them would satisfy me.

They had access to the same information that all of us had, so if there was not enough reason contained in all of those facts to persuade them to reject his candidacy then they are a lost cause and cannot be trusted with anything of any real importance.

President and First Lady explain what was behind the most tweeted picture in history.

I am not a fan of Barbara Walters but I thought this was a genuinely sweet moment between the President and Mrs. Obama.

I sometimes think that without her, he might simply crumble under the weight of his job.

 You know I am one of those people who is always impressed by relationships like this. To me it is almost like a magic trick for someone to believe they found true love and to still know twenty, thirty, or even fifty years later that they were right.

Globe Exclusive! Sarah Palin staves off divorce after red hot Hawaiian vacation with Todd!

Um..."red hot"?

Really?

Well okay, maybe Sarah is a real tiger in bed.

In the dark.

After her children are finally asleep.

And after she has cleaned the sand out of her...well you know.

AND after she is done being pissed of at the paparazzi for taking the unflattering pictures of her.

Maybe after all of that she turns into a real Alaskan wildcat in the sack, and rocks Todd's world.

Or at least shakes the bed around a little, you know in a "red hot" kind of way

I guess it could happen. I mean stranger things HAVE happened, right? Right?

Update: If you click the title it should take you to the Globe teaser. But just in case they delete it, this is what it says:
