The “one-word trend” has taken Twitter by storm. The trend has even managed to get the office of US President Joe Biden to join in.
The trend is believed to have started by American train service provider Amtrak’s social media team. Amtrak’s Twitter handle posted a tweet on Thursday that just read “trains”. The trend since then has taken on a life of its own.
