The party of Lincoln, it appears, is also the party of porn.

In Cleveland, where Donald Trump was nominated by his party’s delegates Tuesday afternoon, porn viewership has surpassed—for the first time—New York City, Miami, and Los Angeles, according to a leading adult-video streaming service.

The increase in Cleveland porn traffic during the Republican National Convention is allegedly 184 percent higher than usual, xHamster reports. Cleveland is making history in all sorts of ways, shattering its previous record for porn viewership while topping out at 873,294 views.

There are more people in Cleveland watching porn right now, xHamster says, than when the Cavaliers won the NBA championship (though, it’s not entirely clear what one has to do with the other).

Interestingly, “Trump” became a trending search topic on the pornographic site, revealing that even as party members break from the tumultuous climate of the convention, the 70-year-old real estate tycoon is never far from their hearts, or what have you.

“Kelly Trump” is also reportedly trending, perhaps reinvigorating the career of the 90s German porn star—who, as far as we know, has no relation to the Republican Party leader.
