While Democrats and Republicans have been denouncing GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump’s policies, you might be surprised at the number of friends you have that like Trump.

If you want to find out if your friends like Trump, you might want to check out this web site: FriendsWhoLikeTrump.com. The website will take you directly to your Facebook page with a list of friends who have liked Trump’s official Facebook page.

More than 4.6 million Facebook users like Trump’s Facebook page, as of Wednesday afternoon. By comparison with other GOP candidate, Ben Carson has 4.8 million Facebook likes, Jeb Bush has 300,000, Marco Rubio has 1.1 million and Rand Paul has 2 million likes.

Democrat Hillary Clinton has 1.9 million likes, and Bernie Sanders has two Facebook pages; one with 2.5 million Facebook likes and another with 2 million likes.

Of course liking a page does not necessarily mean your friends like Trump, but perhaps could mean your friends enjoy getting updates from Trump’s campaign. But if you’re looking for a reason to un-friend an acquaintance from high school, now you might have an excuse.
