About

Donald Trump Inaugural Address Photo refers to a photograph of United States President-elect Donald Trump seated a desk while purportedly writing his upcoming inaugural address at Mar-a-Lago, his mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

Origin

On January 18th, 2017, Trump tweeted a photograph of himself holding a pen and pad of paper while seated at a desk, stating that he was "writing my inaugural address at the Winter White House" (shown below). Within 24 hours, the tweet gained over 90,000 likes and 19,000 retweets.[1]

Two minutes later, Twitter user Jules Suzdaltsev accused Trump of holding a "blank piece of paper" and a "closed sharpie" (shown below).[8]

"Twitter had a field day mocking a photograph of United States President-elect Donald Trump"

As they do with literally everything he does and says..? What makes this one any more noteworthy than any of the other ones that we already forgot about..? I have to agree with João on the Facebook comments here, except they get forgotten even faster than that.
