A California couple is divorcing after 22 years of marriage because their disagreement over President Donald Trump had become a "deal breaker." Gayle McCormick, 73, a Democrat, had not previously fought about politics with her conservative husband, but she felt "betrayed" by his decision to vote for Trump, Reuters reports. "It totally undid me that he could vote for Trump," McCormick said.
