I would be interested in seeing a list of all the banned phrases for some perspective. It's hard for me to understand why they would ban these phrases in particular. From the outside looking it it would certainly seem that Google is taking it's cues from the Chinese government directly on this matter.

Yes, I suspect (as another commenter said) that these might be phrases that have been used in some 'political spamming' campaign flooding youtube with hundreds of thousands of OT comments on random videos. So they might have been treated as garbage and deleted. I can understand that if every youtube video starts to be spammed with "Trump sucks" comments, Youtube might decide to auto-delete them. It doesn't have to be pro-Trump censorship.
