Trump complained about his Google results. Good thing he didn't try that search from Europe.

So, what if Trump had decided to Google himself from an incognito browser on Wednesday morning from, say, Italy?

He almost certainly would have come across a piece published by the newspaper La Stampa with the headline: “Donald Trump says that Google is rigged but maybe he does not know how it works,” in which the author says technology rather than political bias explains which content is featured by Google. Readers would also have come across a story about an artist prohibiting Trump from using one of his songs, Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling lashing out against Trump and a summary of Trump’s recent attacks on the European Union. Then there’s the story of Trump failing to properly draw the American flag.

In Germany, Trump would have woken up to a story about charges against his political allies with the ominous headline, “It’s not yet the end, but ...” Conservative and liberal media outlets both dedicated coverage to criticism of Trump over his tweets following the death of Sen. John McCain on Saturday, with Germany’s conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper criticizing Trump for governing in a way “that leaves little room for bipartisanship.”

Readers interested in more Trump news would have been able to watch the video of a 3-year-old unable to recognize her mother after being separated from her at the Mexican border (headline: “This video hurts”), an analysis of the likelihood of Trump’s impeachment, a commentary on why Trump’s North Korea strategy is doomed and, finally, a story on Trump being “clueless next to his phone,” as the White House struggled to connect him with the Mexican president this week while cameras were rolling.
