10. It's only confusing if you don't bother to actually read it.

The article states that the report was released on Friday. If you click on the report, you will see that Trump's people, such as Ivanka, are listed in it. The article is about Trump's White House, not about Obama's White House.

At the very end, they compare the 20-cent wage gap under Trump to the 11-cent wage gap in 2015, under President Obama.

I think you should edit your post to remove the false statement in it. It will cause too many people to be misinformed. Too few DUers actually bother to read articles. Too many DUers like to make snap judgments based on post titles, often going away completely misinformed.
