DONALD Trump is known for his frequent use of Twitter, but on Monday profane terms typed into the platform’s search function produced a result that would likely not please the US President.
When the terms “a — hole” or “a — holes” were typed into Twitter’s search, Trump’s personal profile @realDonaldTrump came up under the “People” category.
Below Trump’s profile the search queries returned instances of people using those terms in their tweets in a variety of contexts.
Twitter has not yet responded to an inquiry from FoxNews.com about this phenomenon.
Monday also saw the use of a term #MuteMonday on Twitter, in which people posted that they were unfollowing — muting — the presidential Twitter account @POTUS, as well as Trump’s personal account, and instead following liberal leaders or causes on Twitter, like Senator Kamala Harris or Senator Cory Booker.
The inauguration of Trump also marked a planned transition with official Twitter accounts, as Trump took over the official @POTUS account and former President Barack Obama’s tweets from that account were moved to @POTUS44.
However, a now-resolved snafu in that process resulted in over half a million people following Trump’s @POTUS account.
The official presidential Twitter account currently has 14.3 million followers, while Trump’s personal account has 21.6 million.
