President Donald Trump beat out stars like Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber and even the Kardashian-Jenner crew as the most clicked celebrity during the coronavirus outbreak.

Click Intelligence, a leading digital marketing agency, released a list on Wednesday of the top twenty most popular public figures on the internet during the pandemic and it shows Trump coming out on top. And it wasn’t even close. (RELATED: REPORT: Coachella Potentially Rescheduled To October Due To Coronavirus Fears)

“The agency, Click Intelligence, analysed publicly available data including social media followers, Google search results and Google clicks to determine which public figure has proved most popular during the coronavirus lockdown so far,” the release explained. “Donald Trump leads the race, beating notable public figures including Taylor Swift, Bill Gates, the Kardashian sisters and Barack Obama to win the title for March 2020.” (RELATED: Here’s A List Of How Every Country In The World Is Responding To Coronavirus)

According to the report:

According to the research, the 45th President of the United States was the most searched for public figure on Google in March 2020, with almost 1 billion (992,000,000) search results, followed by Taylor Swift at 553,000,000.

“Donald Trump has 94 million combined followers on Twitter and Instagram and earned 17 million more clicks on Google than any other celebrity on the list,” the release added.

The Top 10 List looks like the following:

1. Donald Trump
2. Taylor Swift
3. Cristiano Ronaldo
4. Justin Bieber
5. Kim Kardashian
6. Bill Gates
7. Drake
8. Kylie Jenner
9. Barack Obama
10. Kevin Hart

“From our research, interest in celebrity culture is as strong as ever, with millions still keenly following and watching the daily lives of their favorite public figures,” James Owen, co-founder of the agency said.

“Donald Trump has always been a controversial figure, and in his current role as President of the United States it’s no wonder so many people are Googling him, but to think that he’s overtaken celebs like the Kardashians and Taylor Swift was a real surprise to us,” he added. ” It seems that in these trying times, people are rightly or wrongly getting their celebrity and political ‘fix’ in one place – Donald Trump.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
