One person can't make something trend alone. It's not trending anymore, but Jane Sanders was trending at the time this was posted. And a lot of it was Hillary supporters insulting her for her weight, appearance, and clothing.

In the article the tweets can be visited directly in twitter you can see that they are not all the same person.
