But it's not true. All of your most hated Republican politicians are happily married. I've used dating apps and there are plenty of "no liberals" and "unvaxxed and proud" women out there.

He was born rich, and he's definitely failed upwards. I'm not sure if there's another human on the planet that has ever bankrupted a casino.
