Trump has been facing heightened criticism for his comments during protests over police brutality but has always dismissed suggestions that he is racist.

Greg Sterling, a contributing editor at the website Search Engine Land, said the result suggests that"so many people are using the words 'racist' or 'racism' to respond to or describe Donald Trump, or there's a concerted effort to associate Trump's account with those terms."

Bush to associate him with the term"miserable failure" on the search engine until the flaw was corrected.
