Trump supporter divorced by his wife after his love for the president causes her ‘frustration and embarrassment’

Does Donald Trump’s presidency have the power to destroy love itself?

That seems to be the case with one woman who divorced her husband of 24 years because she could no longer stand his support for the president.

1. I have to admit it, I cannot tolerate Trump supporters!

I have to turn away from them.

[ooky]

4. Trump support is the elephant in the room. nt

[calimary]

6. trump support is the trail of elephant droppings in the room.

[better]

19. You win! (nt)

[Takket]

2. Very sad, but good for her. Could not have been an easy choice after 24 years

[dchill]

3. It was probably a final straw type of thing.

A big, fat final straw.

[JohnnyRingo]

9. A plastic one to boot.

He probably started stockpiling those and incandescent light bulbs.

5. Anyone who supports Trump would necessarily have other bad traits.

I'm sure she won't miss him.

[Wounded Bear]

7. I'd bet a dollar to a frosted donut she knew he was an asshole years ago...

Trump may have been the "final straw" but I have to believe she knew the real him long before Trump.

8. I think they had basic problems to begin with

They're obviously from different worlds, and being a Trumpie seems to require frequent expression of cruel and insane views. Imagine spending day after day with someone who spouts angry Hannity talking points.

It was probably easier to overlook old fashioned Bush neo-con politics, but now he's on steroids.

10. Probably Regular Normal Asshole Full On Energized By Trump

Now full on pure 100% asshole.

11. I work with an insane Trump cultist

Actually began arguing with another coworker that Trump is not obese.

[dewsgirl]

15. 😳 are they one of the ones, that believes the Rocky Photoshop,

is real?

[AlexSFCA]

12. very possible

she probably learned a lot about who her husband really is. trump emboldened those deplorable true selves who had been suppressing their nastiness to get through life but now they are out in the open. I bet there have been many divorces since 2016 election precisely for that reason.

[Skittles]

13. I am guessing that was the last straw

I doubt it all started with the Trump humping.

[dalton99a]

27. Yep.

Merrill, the woman who left her husband after Trump’s election, maintains a good relationship with her ex — as long as they don’t discuss politics, religion or gun control. Merrill says there were other issues in her marriage. She’d had a growing sense that she and her partner of 24 years weren’t particularly compatible.

14. I would guess there's far bigger issues

then political ones involved in the breakup of the marriage.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

16. Smart lady!!

[Vinca]

17. Sounds like a good excuse to me. I can't imagine living with a Trumphumper.

[samnsara]

22. oh another great pot strain name!!

[JudyM]

24. Lol. That'd be one lousy high, though.

Can you imagine getting stoned into that state of mind?!

[mainer]

18. Since Trump wants you to "own the liberal snowflakes" at Christmas

He's encouraging family disruptions everywhere. But since "liberal snowflakes" tend to be women and younger people, the end result will be a lot of old white guys who will suddenly find themselves alone in their old age after having alienated their families.

25. After hearing about this bullshit I made sure I unloaded on all the dumpers yesterday. What a

pleasure that was.

[SWBTATTReg]

28. You said it best!! A ...

lot of old white guys who will suddenly find themselves alone in their old age after having alienated their families.

Generally, I find that these old white guys have already alienated everyone around them anyways. No big loss if you want my opinion.

20. Anyone have a non Raw Story link?

I couldn't find one.

[WyLoochka]

23. It's from an article for Voice of America

Link is in the Raw Story piece. 1st sentence of 3rd paragraph.

[samnsara]

21. maybe for 24 yrs shes been looking for an excuse..

[progressoid]

26. I know a couple like that. But she is the Trump supporter.

They are still married (for now) but no longer speak to each other.
