The whole world now knows that if you type 'idiot' into Google Image Search you get pictures of Donald Trump. I wondered what other words might have a similar effect. And after a few minutes of experimentation:

- Idiot. Definitely a lot of Trump. I get 8 out of the top 10 hits.

- Moron. Only 2 out of the top 10, though 10 out of the top 25.

- Cretin. Surprisingly little Trump! He just sneaks into the top 40.

- Dummy. Again, hardly a Trump in sight.

- Traitor. Very Trumpy. 5 of the top 10.

- Collusion. Also quite Trumpy. 4 of the top 10.

So, more an idiot than a moron, a traitor, does rather look like collusion, but not a cretin or a dummy. Google giveth and Google taketh away.
