Eric Trump’s latest tweet accuses Google of manipulating Americans, as pictures of anime characters would show up if you search “mob.”
“Google is once again trying to manipulate Americans,” he tweeted. “Type ‘mob’ or ‘mobs’ into Google and watch what comes up. Do the same on any other search engine.”
His tweet featured images of search results from Google, Bing, Yahoo, as well as DuckDuckGo. While most of the search results appeared to be of protests, Google only showed images of anime characters. “#NothingToSeeHere,” Trump concluded his post.
However, the images aren’t part of a wild conspiracy; they come from popular anime TV show Mob Psycho 100. The character shown in Google’s search results is Shigeo Kageyama, whose nickname is “Mob.”
Twitter users were quick to chuckle at Trump’s conspiracy theory and responded with fancams and clips.
Trump’s viral tweet ended up catching the attention of the show, who replied on Twitter, “Hello I heard I was trending.”

Meh, it's just Google promoting Mob Psycho 100. Nothing special or manipulative, to say the least.
