Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish is leaving his role as head of the entertainment company and CBS parent, it announced Monday. Trump added about $406 million to his net worth as a result, with his fortune growing to $5.6 billion, according to Forbes' calculations. Keyword searches for "Trump," "Biden," "Election," "President" and "MAGA," which generate thousands of results for U.S.-based retailers, return no hits on Temu, despite the fact that such items are actually listed on the platform. Hundreds of Trump and Biden-themed products are available for purchase on the site, but searching for "Trump" pulls up nothing. Target shows 24 results for "Biden," and 139 results for "Trump," all of them books. WHY IT MATTERS "I get why they would not show results for banned topics in China, but not showing results for U.S. topics is odd," Juozas Kaziukėnas, the CEO of Marketplace Pulse, an independent e-commerce analysis firm, told Forbes.
