Worth a try.

Obama antichrist - 445 thousand results

Obama anti-christ - 2 million

Trump Hitler - 32 million

Try

Trump antichrist - 447k

Trump anti-christ - 1.7mil

Obama Hitler - 27mil

I think the takeaway is that stringing a couple terms together in google gives us little in the way of political insight.

Interesting.

I think the takeaway may be that both sides of the political spectrum are equally inclined to name calling.

(One tiny piece of evidence these results are not mere coincidence: there are 4x as many such results for Trump/Obama Hitler than for "Jesus Hitler" - 9.5 million)
