The #TrumpWon hashtag originated in Russia.

1. How 'bout that?

Sounds like BFF Putin is doing his part for Comrade Trumpsky.

3. That image may be fake

According to the Washington Post

That viral image showing #TrumpWon starting in Russia is probably fake

Notice for one thing that the map provided by @DustinGiebel doesn't look like the TrendsMap map. The map I posted above is from a premium account for the service; if there's another tool that overlays blue dots, I couldn't find it. What's more, the map in the tweet appears to be based on a Google Maps image, not one from TrendsMap. (Notice the city’s name in both Cyrillic and Latin letters.) If the trend started from a handful of trolls in St. Petersburg, it's odd that they would be geographically distributed across the city instead of all in one location. It's odd that the graph would show a slowly, evenly increasing number of tweets from that location. (The axes are obscured, making it hard to tell what's being measured.)

But TrendsMap does show the timeline of #TrumpWon tweets in St. Petersburg — and they began well after the hashtag took off in Washington, for example. There was a spike as interest in the topic peaked globally, which is what you'd expect in a local region from something that's trending globally. (The graphs in other cities, like London, peaked at the same time. London, though, saw more sustained traffic on the hashtag.)

4. All those self-selecting (and gamed) online polls...

Also record each voter's IP address.
I'm very curious if any of those sites will release
an analysis of who voted - especially where
they are from (and if they were masking their true origin).
It would be very easy to do... and would be enlightening.

5. from Russia or not from Russia, Democrats/Hillary supporters helped keep it on the trending list

Many of the tweets were Dems using the hashtag to counter Trump people or ridicule.
That's fine, but it keeps it trending. I used #shewon, that way as to not help the Trumpers

6. Trump Lost Hillary Won Supporters

I wondered if the hashtag was trending due in part to people tweeting who thought Hillary Clinton won. Were there actually more people tweeting that Donald Trump won the debate?
