There is no rule that says Trump supporters and those who oppose all of Trump’s views can’t be friends. But, unless the two friends have known each other for years, it might be hard to get past that little fact, for both parties involved. Luckily, a TikTok user by the name of Emily Zeller figured out a way to ask the right questions to new friends to figure out if they voted for Trump or not.
For her, and maybe some others, it’s the best way to figure out right off the bat if your new friend is bestie material or someone you would rather not put in the work to remain friends with. Either scenario is perfectly fine, regardless of political affiliation. But those who would prefer to know right away what they’re getting themselves into can benefit from the little questionnaire.
The questions to figure out who is a Trump supporter might actually work.

Emily’s examples of questions in her video are purely for educational purposes only, of course. But hey, if they work for you and they work for Emily, then there’s no reason not to look at those questions a little more closely. She starts off her video by joking about being at the Did my New Friend Vote For Donald Trump Investigative Offices LLC.
Emily jokes about wanting to know how to spell the name of a friend named Cayleigh, because apparently, that could be a tell as to which political party she belongs to. She also says that, if your new friend is a nurse, “That used to not be concerning, but it’s getting a little dicey.”
According to Emily, it might also be a red flag if your new friend is worried about “red 40 infecting our children.” In a follow-up video, Emily shares more insight into what to look for in figuring out if your new friend voted for Trump.
She jokingly advises a “client” to ask where their new guy friend was on January 6. She also says that “it feels weird” if a guy is on a boat with his friends on July 4.
The undertones of what Emily means with most of her comments makes a lot of sense to those who may not have voted for Trump themselves. In another video in the series, Emily says that if someone says they are “not that political,” it’s another good sign that they likely voted for Trump, but would rather not talk about politics at all.
In the comments, users shared their own “tells” for figuring out if a new friend voted for Trump. One person said to ask for the names of their kids, which feels like a callback to the spelling of Cayleigh that Emily mentioned in her initial video.
Someone else said they have had nearly identical conversations with friends themselves to figure out who they voted for without outright asking.
Whether you take Emily’s questions for the jokes they are or use them as a guideline for yourself, the TikTok series definitely has other users asking for more for their own research.
