In one of the more bizarre crossovers to happen in recent months, Eric Trump has stumbled his way into anime territory with one of his recent tweets.The son of President Donald Trumptook to Twitter in order to lash out at Google, which he accused of “manipulating Americans” with phony search results. His complaint? When one types “mob” or “mobs” into the search bar, the website produces mostly results from the animeMob Psycho 100.
To contrast the Google results,the third child of the Presidentalso showed results from Bing, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo, which tended to show large crowds of people as opposed to anime screenshots. Though it is unclear exactly what Eric Trump means by the word mob, he is presumably referring to his father’s “Left-Wing Mob” talking point, which the President has used to attack Black Lives Matter protesters and his opponent Joe Biden. It would seem he is upset that when searching the word, Google produces images of the popular anime instead of showing large crowds of people.

Searching “mob” on Google does indeed produce many images ofMob Psycho100, as opposed to large groups of people. Though this could be explained by the fact thatMob Psycho 100is a very popular anime, Eric Trump asserted that this is instead the work of Google attempting to deliberately misinform the public, implying that Google is trying to hide evidence of, presumably left-wing, mobs rampaging across America.
As mentioned before,Mob Psycho 100is a popular show, and that likely accounts for its prevalence on Google’s search result, pushing down the images Eric Trump believes should be shown instead. However, it’s worth noting that other websites also contain almostno images of left-wing mobs either. In fact, almost all of the images in Eric Trump’s tweet are in fact pictures of Flash-Mobs, which are simply spontaneous organized events in which a group of participants preforms a song or dance without warning. So unless Eric Trump is concerned about the suppression of information about Flash-Mobs, it would seem that he has made something of a silly mistake. Either way, Eric Trump helpfully tagged his tweet #NothingToSeeHere, so everyone knows not to worry about it.
