    Um, no. It's because trending means hashtags and topics, not individual words.

    If this were true, then why do misspelled words trend?

    Someone misspells a hashtag and people copy it.

    So the only misspelled words that trend are hashtags? Or do you think people copy the word but not the #?

    Yes, twitter doesn't do word analysis (well, not for deciding trending topics), it's all about hashtags.

    Eric Clapton is currently trending because people only just found out he said racist things in 1976.

    Twitter obviously heard me saying they manipulate trends, because literally as soon as I say it, they allow #BidenCheated to trend.

    I know their game.
