Newsweek reports:
President Donald Trump continued to use his Twitter platform Sunday to defend himself after he drew fire from critics for angry comments previously tweeted about Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings and the city of Baltimore.
The presidents insistence on insulting the metropolis ultimately resulted in the hashtag #TrumpIsARat trending on social media.

When he calls Elijah Cummings a racist he is indeed a dirty rat... heh, the dirtiest of rats.
Link to tweet
Donald Trump is now calling #ElijahCummings a racist.
This is what he does.
When hes called out, he accuses the accuser of the same thing.
Its called gaslighting.
Dems are racist.
Dems colluded with Russia.
Dems want to take healthcare.
Blah blah blah#TrumpIsARacist

Insert #TrumpIsARacist somewhere in your message, and when enough people do the same you have a trend.
The '#' is what designates it a hashtag, and the text is whatever you want it to be, as long as there are no spaces after the #.

(26,525 posts)4. Right, so, to do it with an already existing hashtag,
just retweet.

(1,992 posts)5. You got it.
On a side a note, don't confuse '@' with '#' like I did when I first started using twitter.
Anything after an '@' designates a persons account.
