People are looking up words like “traitor” and “collusion” after President Trump’s appearance with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
A lot of people were searching for the right words to describe U.S. President Donald Trump’s Monday press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
According to a tweet by dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster, the top-searched words included “treason,” “traitor” and “collusion” after the two leaders appeared together in Helsinki.

A Merriam-Webster spokeswoman confirmed to HuffPost that those were the most searched-for words on Monday.
During the presser, Trump refused to blame Putin for Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and told reporters that “both countries” were responsible for the poor state of their relations. He also reiterated that there was no collusion between his presidential campaign and Russia, and called special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian interference in the election a “disaster,” among other things.
After Trump called the European Union a “foe” on Sunday, Merriam-Webster also shared the definition of that word.
