Why it matters: The study shows that while Trump’s presidency has been action-packed, the public’s attention span doesn’t seem to last for long.

The visible spikes of increased Googling on a topic indicate that Trump-related news captures the public’s interest, but that attention quickly fizzles out or is captured by the next bombshell report or firing. The House health care bill, North Korea and Afghanistan troops are some of the few that have had slightly more steady interest over time, with Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation having several mini-spikes of interest.
