WEST END FINAL

T

he web domain loser.com now directly links to Donald Trump’s Wikipedia page.

The owner of the website Brian Connelly often uses the domain to target celebrities and political figures that he is not a fan of. He chose his most recent victim as Mr Trump continues to refuse to concede defeat in the US 2020 election.

Previous targets of loser.com have been former president Barack Obama, Charlie Sheen, Reddit, Kanye West, Al Gore, and former South Carolina governor Jim Hodges. He has also previously tageted Mr Trump in 2015. 

Mr Connelly told The Next Web that he previously targeted Mr Trump in 2015 because he was a “xenophobe”.

“My wife and I were flabbergasted about Trump's attacks on Muslims. Fear is just not a good platform to stand up on,” he said.

This is not the first time Mr Trump has been at the receiving end of something similar.

Over the weekend, social media users who typed the word “loser” into Twitter’s search engine were directed to Mr Trump’s Twitter profile. 

The site told the Mirror that the link was not an intentional move by the social media platform.

What's next for Donald Trump?

“If an account is mentioned often alongside certain terms, they can become algorithmically surfaced together as an association," said Twitter.

"These associations are temporal and ever changing based on how people tweet."

Meanwhile, a Tik Tok trend emerged in the wake of the US Presidential election, as people sought to disrupt Mr Trump’s baseless claims that his victory had been stolen.

Users were encouraging each other to prank call the president’s “voter fraud hotline”.

Sources told ABC News that staff manning the hotline were overwhelmed with callers ringing in to crow over Joe Biden’s win, before hanging up.
