Online Interest In Gorilla Eclipses Interest In Donald Trump

Donald Trump has dominated media airwaves, Internet searches and public discourse ever since he announced his campaign for the presidency last year. 

But on Tuesday, Americans' searches for gorilla news briefly eclipsed their interest in looking up the presumptive Republican nominee. According to Google Trends, which monitors search interest online, the term "Gorilla" overtook the term "Donald Trump." The numbers represent the relative popularity of different searches, and are not absolute.
