Trump, the new president of the United States, took to Snapchat to share two videos of his drive from the White House to the inauguration ceremony. Trump's account is categorized as an official story, meaning that the account is verified by Snapchat. It also means he receives a special emoji next to his name. While presidential candidates and other politicians opted for the American flag, Trump's account has a flying money sign (Burgess, 2017).
Since winning the election, thousands of people took to the streets to protest at a vicious upsurge in racist, sexist and homophobic incidents across the country since his election win. Recently, after months of talk during the presidential campaign and in the lead up to his inauguration, Donald Trump appears set to take action on his promises to build a wall on the US-Mexico border and to expel immigrants in the US illegally (Burgess, 2017).
