February 2, 2017

Body: 

Brian Schaffner co-authors analysis in the Washington Post  [1]in which President Trump supporters are asked to identify which inauguration photos were captured at Trump's ceremony verses the past inauguration of Barack Obama.

The findings support that a significant number of Trump supporters mistake the photos in order to favor Donald Trump.
