Take for instance, the saga of a long-suffering woman who went on a date with a man she met on a dating app, only to discover that he was a Trump voter, something she found so unsavory that she had to end their date immediately. Her Trump supporter date, a man by the name of Bryan Leib, who also happens to be the treasurer for the Philadelphia Young Republicans, spoke to Philadelphia’s[ _The Inquirer_](http://www.philly.com/philly/living/sex%5Flove%5Fdating/donald-trump-election-dating-sex-year-change-anniversary-20171107.html)to muse on where the date went downhill. According to Leib, the date had been going well until she asked who he voted for in the past election; when Leib revealed that he had voted for Trump, the date came to an abrupt close. “She stopped in her tracks and said, ‘You know what, Bryan? This has been a lot of fun, but I think we’re two completely different people,’” he said. “And she literally got up and left.” The course of true love never did run smooth. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5017535/woman-ends-date-with-trump-voter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5017535/woman-ends-date-with-trump-voter/"},"headline":"Woman Abruptly Ends Her Date After She Found Out the Guy Voted for Trump","datePublished":"2017-11-09T19:08:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T08:02:52.120Z","description":"The course of true love never did run smooth","url":"https://time.com/5017535/woman-ends-date-with-trump-voter/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Dating","viral","Donald Trump"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte92c236307a925be/6988e53d4ee26267fd30fb81/women-leaves-date-with-trump-voter.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte92c236307a925be/6988e53d4ee26267fd30fb81/women-leaves-date-with-trump-voter.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Dating app available on Apple TV","caption":"Dating app available on Apple TV","creditText":"NurPhoto—NurPhoto via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5017535/woman-ends-date-with-trump-voter/","name":"Woman Abruptly Ends Her Date After She Found Out the Guy Voted for Trump"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"1 Year Later: President Donald Trump's Most Controversial Remarks","description":"1 Year Later: President Donald Trump's Most Controversial Remarks","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/KXGhnVO8/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-11-08T17:27:07.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/KXGhnVO8.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/5017535/woman-ends-date-with-trump-voter/","duration":"PT3M29S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/5017535/woman-ends-date-with-trump-voter/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
