On September 8, 2020, the Mob Psycho 100 anime series suddenly went viral in the US after Eric Trump, the second son of then-President Donald Trump, tweeted that he believed that Google was trying to manipulate Americans to associate mobs with anime. After trying to run a Google Search for “mob” and getting results that showed Mob’s face instead of a group of people, Trump sent out the now-famous viral tweet reading, “Google is once again trying to manipulate Americans. Type “mob” or “mobs” into google and watch what comes up. Do the same on any other search engine. #NothingToSeeHere.”
