Summary

In 2018, New York Magazine ran an article titled “Donald Trump Is Destroying My Marriage” (Langmuir 2018). The piece featured first-person stories from four individual people and two couples discussing how politics in general – but Trump’s 2016 election in particular – created tension in their relationships. The people featured in these stories discussed disagreements with their partners over the political issues of the day (though other disagreements could be better classified as arguments over care responsibilities in a marriage). For some of the people featured, these disagreements led to divorce. Donald Trump, wrote author Molly Langmuir in the article’s introduction to the personal stories, “sent shockwaves through heterosexual romance.”
