If you were wondering what the first effect of a possible Donald Trump presidency would be…look no further than the dating world.
Introducing: MapleMatch.com!
A co-worker of mine pointed me to the website…which I understand started out as a joke, but quickly earned legitimacy. Under the (fairly obvious) tagline of “Make Dating Great Again”, the site has a very specific mission statement:
“Maple Match makes it easy for Americans to find the ideal Canadian partner to save them from the unfathomable horror of a Trump presidency.”
Funny!
The Washington Post article about the site reports — as of Monday (5/9) — the site registered more than 35,000 hits and 4,500 sign ups in just FOUR DAYS! That’s some hard-core paranoia.
I’ve often said I hope there’s someone tracking any spikes in U.S. passport applications ahead of a possible Trump victory in the general election. It will be interesting to see if an exodus — of any kind– could really happen. As for opinions on what nations around the world think of a Trump White House, the Discovery Channel offering Test Tube gives us a decent overview.
We are just two months (at this writing) out from the conventions. With the still-raging dogfight on the Democratic side and the GOP drama, the national political gatherings in Philadelphia and Cleveland respectively will truly be (with apologies to NBC) Must See TV.
WELCOME TO MY WORLD!!
