Searches on Google for “Trump” alongside the word “chaos” have spiked spectacularly in the first weeks of President Donald Trump’s second term, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said this weekend.
They are up an astonishing 320% compared to the same period of Trump’s first term, the journalist noted.
“This 46-day stretch that the Trump presidency has gone on has the most number of searches for ‘Trump’ and ‘chaos’ on record,” Enten explained.
“The American people are seeing this. They think that Donald Trump is like Butters in ‘South Park,’ he is Professor Chaos,” said Enten, referencing the villainous alter-ego of Butters Stotch in the adult-animated sitcom.
“That is what is going on,” Enten continued. “The American people at this particular point are going, ‘What is happening here?’ They are seeing Trump and they are associating him with the word ‘chaos.’”
Stock market investors “do not like uncertainty” or chaos, Enten noted.
Anchor John Berman suggested that voters “may or may not like the tariff policy” but “what they like less, though, no matter what, is the wild reverse.”
Enten agreed: “They just need to know what’s going on so that they can plan.”
