TITLE: Divided States of America

Americans are divided, so the states, at least in the election year. This series of photos were taken in Washington DC and New York City between January 20, 2017, the day when Donald Trump swore in as the 45th President of the United
States of America, and late 2019. American voters were divided during that time and may continue to be so in the coming election.
