“One word trend” has taken Twitter by storm. The trend has even managed to join the office of US President Joe Biden.
The trend is believed to have been started by the social media team of American rail service provider Amtrak. Amtrak’s Twitter handle posted a tweet on Thursday that read only “train”.
