Has Trump spoiled online dating for millennials?

Progressives have already blamed President Trump for broken relationships and a reduced libido. Now, a recent article from Mashable suggests that he’s spoiled online dating for them as well.

The online matchmaking site eHarmony has noticed a 43 percent spike in the use of political keywords since July 2016, and mentions of Donald Trump have grown exponentially since the election. The site has also noticed that female members receive 23 percent more requests when they mention “Donald Trump” in their profiles.
