Twitter no longer recommends Trump's profile when you search 'asshole'
Twitter users have been noticing for the past few days that if you search words like "asshole," racist," "tiny hands" and "douchebag," it will bring up a bunch of results, along with President Donald Trump's profile.
Now, it appears that Twitter is actually censoring those results to exclude President Trump.
Mashable first reported the search result findings on Monday, but after widespread media attention, searching "racist," "asshole," and "douchebag" will no longer bring you to Trump's profile, though it will probably bring you to plenty of tweets about Trump including those words.
However, searching "tiny hands" on Twitter will bring you to Trump's profile, as well as a cute store called Tiny Hands Jewelry that makes mini scented food jewelry.
Searching "bigot" will also bring up Trump's profile.
Although it's unclear why he was showing up in the results in the first place, it's likely the result of people including Trump's name or handle along with those words.
Regardless, Trump isn't the only one having problems with Twitter's search function. Searching the word "corrupt" on Wednesday was bringing up Hillary Clinton's profile.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Though as of Thursday morning, Clinton's profile has also disappeared from the search results.
Twitter was not immediately available for comment but we'll update this post if we hear back.
