Ann Coulter also appears whenever the term “racist” is searched.
Of course there is an extremely logical explanation to this. One might say Twitter uses algorithms, basically grouping terms or in this case, people, that have been tweeted many times next to the selected phrase in the search box. So if Trump was mentioned in enough posts that contained the words “a**hole,” “racist,” or “bigot,” then he might show up whenever those few terms are searched.
The only problem with this train of thought is that all the other accounts that show up when you search “a**hole,” “bigot,” or “racist,” have those words either in their name, or somewhere in their bio. The fact that @realDonaldTrump is the only account to appear under the “a**hole,” “racist,” and “bigot” searches without having any of those terms in his name, handle, or bio is something that raises multiple questions about Twitter’s algorithm and motivations.
