Twitter appears to have manually removed Donald Trump's account from search results that included bigot, racist and asshole.

Several technology blogs pointed out that the US President's account came top of the list when users searched for the above terms.

Perhaps the most famous Twitter account in the world at the moment , @realDonaldTrump would also be suggested when people searched for "tiny hands".

But now the social network seems to have stepped in and reorganised things.

Results were likely due to search algorithms picking up on the huge amount of anti-Trump tweeting going on, and automatically linking the President's account to those search terms.

The search results aren't limited to Donald Trump either - scanning the micro-blogging site for the term "corrupt" flags up Hillary Clinton's profile.

Twitter has not responded to requests for comment on the search issue.

The site has been a favourite outlet for Donald Trump who, despite inheriting the @POTUS account, has elected to keep using his personal one. At the last count, he had 365,000 followers between the two accounts.
