If you search the word “Nazi” on Twitter, the first person who comes up is (wait for it……..) — President Trump.
Second is Gavin McInnes, who describes himself as “Libertarian family man for closed borders & free market. Pro: West, gun, life, gay, Israel, Trump, cop, 1stA. Anti: Nazi, Alt-Right, feminist, Islam. #POYB.” So, yeah, no, anti-Nazi.
Click on the “see all” link and you get Tomi Lahren, a Fox News personality, conservative writer Dinesh D’Souza, and, oh, right there in the fifth slot — the American Nazi Party. Larry Thompson comes in No. 6, but for good reason: He played the Soup Nazi on “Seinfeld.” (Paul Joseph Watson, a writer at Infowars, makes the list at No. 10).
Look up “racist” and guess what? Donald Trump comes up in the No. 2 position. Somebody named Judah Friedlander comes in first place, even though he ID’s himself on Twitter as “Anti-racist/fascist/sexist/imperialist.” So, anti-racist.
And if you’re keeping score at home, Trump comes up first when you search “moron” on Twitter. He doesn’t show up if you search “idiot” — although comedians Ricky Gervais and Stephen Colbert make the Top 5.

By the way, we didn’t think of this. The Gateway Pundit first reported the odd algorithm after seeing a post on Twitter by Ian Miles Cheong.
And I searched “idiot” just to see if Twitter co-founder Biz Stone came up.
