Given that the majority of Facebook and Twitter users are aged 18-29, it is not surprising that Google Trends analysis supports that most active efforts of opposition against Donald Trump on social media this year came after his announcement to end DACA.[24],[25] DACA is the Deferred Action For Childhood Arrivals, and officials say that if it is rescinded, then approximately 800,000 people will become eligible for deportation.[26] A video tweet by Bernie Sanders calling Trump’s DACA decision the “ugliest and most cruel decision ever made by a president of the US in the modern history of this country” went viral.[27] Sanders’ tweet received a plethora of social media support, receiving 82K retweets and 133K likes. An advanced Twitter search shows that tweets containing the keywords “DACA” and “Trump” in the days after Trump’s DACA decision were abundant, showing the public’s immense opposition to Trump’s decision.[28]
