Good Morning,
As is to be expected, there was some internet fallout from Monday’s presidential debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
It’s hard to say definitively who won the debate, but yesterday one Twitter hashtag did just that, and it caused a ruckus in the process.
On Tuesday morning, #TrumpWon was trending on Twitter — a fact that the candidate himself let us know about. But later in the day an image started picking up steam which alleged the hashtag started in Russia:

As it turns out, that is almost definitely not the case. The image purports to be from trendsmap.com, and a spokesperson for the website told The Washington Post that Trendsmap’s data does not indicate the hashtag started in Russia.
