yes. I am not advocating for Trump on this post.
I just found it crazy how much it spiked during his presidency, relative to Biden.

To be fair: cofefe, nuke a storm, wind turbines killing poor birds, injectable bleach, ect you couldn't get away from Trump just not being quiet for a week.

Exactly this. I don’t even live in America and would regularly Google his name to see what bizarre shenanigans he was up to.

Is that really fair given all the crazy shit Biden says about cornpop, lying about being a trucker, the inane rambling, blatantly incorrect statements, asking where dead people are, etc? Are you really going to ignore the impact of a hostile or protective media?
Scared-Conflict-653 t1_j64vnxs wrote
Yes. Right leaning media and left leaning media both talking about Trunp every damn day either in overly positive or overly negative light. Trump kept leaning into it, by either making statements on Twitter and rambling on TV shows. Know when to shut up is an important lesson.
NaturalNines t1_j65crew wrote
Oh that's such a load of crap. They complained about how many scoops of ice cream he ate. They complained when he didn't speak. They complained when he did. No matter what they complained.
And now so many went silent for Biden. Your refusal to accept these facts is just pure delusion.

Fox News complained about Obama wearing a brown suit for 3 days and he didn't respond. Trump commented daily about Obama birth certificate and Obama made a few joke but mostly ignored it. Trump responds to everything they said about him, I mean everything. He kept feeding into it, no one cared. At least Biden, says some crazy stuff or trips he doesn't run on Twitter to say "I didn't say that or do that, fake news" or go to media outlets to ramble about how they bully him. Besides he did the exact same thing to Obama for 8 years!

I never said Fox news was good.
But thank you for proving you don't have a defense, you just have an excuse.
Scared-Conflict-653 t1_j65ew5y wrote
What are you reading? I'm saying he ran to Fox News, I'm saying CNN talked about him too much. Where did you read FOX, bad?
NaturalNines t1_j65fbym wrote
Bye, person so desperate to defend Biden they have absolutely no point.

See, you ended the conversation that is all Trump had to do. That was the whole argument. You have a good one.

Because Biden totally has done much besides send massive amounta of money to Ukraine. The democrats could have passed Abortion or LGBT legislation before the midterms but dangled those issues over voters heads to get votes and now look where they are.

They had a bare majority in the Senate, and needed Manchin and Sinema on board with every bill. They were not getting sweeping rights legislation passed.

Didn't Putin threaten anyone that that decided to help Ukraine with"consequences yet to be seen" or am I missing something?
Cynical_Tripster t1_j625csa wrote
Hey I ain't defending Russia or Putin by any means, can't stand the shitbag, but Ukraine isn't any pretty flower either. I've seen for the last like 15 the stuff they've done and if it wasn't for Putin tryna be Mr big dick (especially after Crimea) we'd all probably talk shit on Ukraine too.
Infinite-Flow-7723 t1_j637ily wrote
Well I was more so thinking how it was a risky choice on Bidens end to send them money if we were threatened to not do so.

Biden making politics boring and normal again, just like he was elected to do.
Jrubas t1_j60862y wrote
More like the media is downplaying his constant stumbles, bumbles, and controversies whereas with Trump, they shoved them down everyone's throat on an endless loop. Let's not forget that if Trump gained five pounds, the media would pounce on it, but Biden can stumble around talking out of his head about record players and his hairy legs, and the media give him a slow clap.
nsnyder t1_j60a56r wrote
No one knows or cares what the media is saying about him, the whole point of this graph is that people just aren't paying much attention to him. He's not a reality TV star and the news is back to being boring stuff no one watches rather than competing with reality TV.
Jrubas t1_j60gm6k wrote
People aren't paying attention to him because CNN, MSNBC, and other news outlets aren't hyping up every little thing he does wrong. Fox News does but outside of that, Biden operates with impunity. Imagine if the Ashleigh Biden diary was being given the same amount of coverage as anything Trump did. Imagine if the Hunter Biden laptop story wasn't covered up and banned from social media the way it was. Imagine if you had a thousand doomsayers picking apart Biden's mental and physical health all day, every day. I guarantee you that more people would be like "hmmm, what's this all about? I better look it up."
Though I'll give you this: At this point, a lot of people are tired of hearing about Trump *and* Biden. That's a big factor as well.

Nope but Fox News is. So I guess they don't matter.
Jrubas t1_j64nlyo wrote
Fox News is a lying propaganda machine too. None of these media outlets is objective. They're all biased one way or another and staffed by lying scumbags. And that's just the news team. The pundits are actively evil and work night and day to continue dividing us. If there's a wound on the body politick, you can count on these assholes to rub dirt and broken glass in it.
myspicename t1_j6551tv wrote
Ok what does that have to do with the graph?
Fresh-Rub830 t1_j5zqk7t wrote
Data is beautiful but this doesn’t really tell us anything about why people were searching. Lacking any other data, I am going to assume that the high Trump frequency results from when Trump tweeted something stupid, and people Googled to find out what.
FailOsprey t1_j5zt3bo wrote
It's like venereal diseases. Despite the millions of times "herpes" has been typed in a search engine, few people want it for four more years.

Kinda wish you'd included Obama (and maybe Bush too?) to have a better reference point.
theredwoodcurtain t1_j5zs7c3 wrote
It makes sense that someone running for President would have more search interest than someone not running for office, and that search interest around election time would be higher for the person who had been President for 4 years than one of their challengers.
FireRavenLord t1_j60i7t2 wrote
But look at recent data. Even 2 years after leaving office, Trump is more searched than Biden, who is the current president.
theredwoodcurtain t1_j616gax wrote
It could be because he is still embroiled in legal challenges from when he was President, and a significant portion of voters believe that he is still the legitimate US President...
As of a few months ago, 40% of voters thought that Trump lost illegitimately.

This would explain why he doesn't have much search interest prior to his campaign, despite being a TV celebrity, a famously controversial Tweeter, and a name in the public consciousness for decades prior to 2016.
Notmystationbro t1_j5zsjyy wrote
Well when the MSM dominates by being left leaning and Trump is talked about 24/7 it’s natural he’s gonna be searched more

Jrubas t1_j60an91 wrote
A good part of the reason is that the media treats Joe Biden with a level of care and delicacy that they didn’t use with Trump. I’m not defending Donald Trump, he made a lot of his own controversies, but don’t sit here and pretend that the media isn’t every bit the left-wing attack dog it’s been made out to be. Donald Trump gained, like, five pounds, and the media went on for days about how unhealthy and unfit he was. Joe Biden literally stumbles around like he’s lost and talks out of his head about record players and leg hair, and no one bats an eye. He sat there, an ancient man with glowing pale skin, and told black people that they weren’t black if they didn’t vote for him. He got a teensy little slap on the wrist for it, nothing more.
If the media spent as much time on Biden’s failings as they did Trump’s, I’m sure that little blue line would be a bit higher. The problem is that they don’t. Look no further than when Katie Couric covered up comments by RBG “to protect her reputation.”
That’s the media in a nutshell. Covering up for Democrats to protect their reputations.
