Is Google Silencing Trump Supporters? Search Suppression Allegations

Google is reportedly suppressing searches related to donating to former President Donald Trump’s campaign following his conviction in a New York court on Thursday. Social media users have shared instances where Google searches for the term “donate to Trump” yielded no results in the autofill suggestions.

Google Trends data shows that searches for “How to donate to Trump” surged to unprecedented levels after his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. However, the Google autofill feature suggested “donate to trans youth” as the top result instead.

One user noted, “Organically, Biden’s donation site search results go directly to page 1, to the top” of Google’s search results, while “Trump’s query yields all far-left media with no link to donate on page 1.”

Despite Google’s alleged censorship, the Trump campaign received over $53 million in donations within the first 24 hours following his conviction. The Biden campaign also fundraised off of Trump’s conviction but has not disclosed the amount raised.
