It seems Donald Trump just can’t win. His inflammatory comments about Mexicans have led a number of brands – including Macy’s, NBC and Univision – to cut ties with the business magnate lately. Every day brings news of more companies shunning Trump.
But with controversy comes attention, the life-blood of presidential candidates like Trump. How much attention is he getting? He’s far and away the most-searched presidential candidate on Google this week.
According to Google Trends data, Democrat Bernie Sanders is the most-searched candidate in Vermont and New Hampshire. Republicans Bobby Jindal and Scott Walker dominate the search results in Louisiana and Wisconsin, respectively. As for the other 46 states? All Trump.
