trimws Function not Found - R

I am trying to use the gtrends package but I keep getting the following error:

dp <- gtrends("Donald Drumpf", res="7d")
Error in .processResults(resultsText, queryparams) : 
  could not find function "trimws"

Here is the full code:

library(gtrendsR)
dp <- gtrends("Donald Drumpf", res="7d")
plot(dp) + ggplot2::ggtitle("The Drumpf") + ggplot2::theme(legend.position="none")

You might have to use the gconnect() function to get it to work.

Thanks!

Just for the sake of completeness. I tested it with different R versions (below 3.2 and beyond). R below 3.2 is definitely the reason it does not work. trimws is only available in more recent versions. Update R and it'll work.

Be aware of the fact that google might block new machines in the beginning. But once they're convinced it was you who accessed that account it will just work.
