The #TrumpWon hashtag originated in Russia.

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.)
