Meeting a complete stranger to have a stunted conversation over warm beer in the vain hope of finding true love can be a daunting experience for many young people.

But for President Donald Trump's campaign staff in Washington, dating is almost guaranteed to end in disaster - with many being dumped on the spot and verbally abused once their political leanings are uncovered.

According to the new website Politico, the president's Millennial officials are at their wits' end after undergoing one disastrous romantic encounter after the other.

"You do the small-talk thing, and you have a very good conversation, and then they might say, 'You didn't vote for Trump, right?'" one 31-year-old female official told news website Politico.
