Let's be honest, hiding information about Donald Trump would probably be a net benefit to Trump's campaign. If google actually wanted to hurt Trump they'd make the top results of every search a never ending stream of all of his legal issues, scandals, moral failings, insane statements, shady connections, and basically everything else that's awful about him. Definitely would want to include suggested search add ons like project 2025, and 25th amendment.

You're right, although technically this was just about the suggestions.

I reached pretty much the same conclusion, though: having "President Donald Trump" in suggestions like that is a gentle "don't forget to vote" reminder for the---maybe not swaying, but non-zero---community of people who commonly google fictional flightless avian presidents.
