The Trump voter is often portrayed in media and pop culture as a working-class white person, down on their luck and desperate for change. These voters were — and remain — willing to look past Trump’s erratic and unorthodox behavior and “politically incorrect” commentary if his presidency brings better jobs. These voters, the narrative goes, are in pursuit of a noble life, even if the man they chose to be commander-in-chief is neither generous or honorable. 

But a new study, published Monday in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, argues that a segment of these voters was motivated partly by a far less righteous cause: to protect their own dominant status in American culture and politics.  Read more…

Unless you repressed all memories of 2016 (and who could blame you), you’ll remember that Time named Donald Trump “Person of the Year.” Now, the president is claiming that the magazine asked him again this year but, like, urgh who can even be bothered?

In a tweet Friday, the president took time from his busy schedule of getting absolutely nothing from his agenda done to make a bold claim about rejecting the magazine’s honor for 2017. 

Time Magazine called to say that I was PROBABLY going to be named “Man (Person) of the Year,” like last year, but I would have to agree to an interview and a major photo shoot. I said probably is no good and took a pass. Thanks anyway!

It’s been a year since Trump got elected, and a lot has, umm, changed in that time — especially our need for love.

From the get-go, Trump’s chaotic reign has forced us all to think about politics morning and night — there’s no escape, even when we’re just trying to find someone to watch Netflix with. How you see this upheaval depends on your party affiliation, but it’s clear that something has changed.

There’s new evidence to back up the shift we’ve all sensed in the ether. Data from eHarmony shows that there has been a surge of mentions of Donald Trump from its users. It first started to climb after he got the nomination, but there were notable jumps both around the time of the election and the inauguration. Read more…
