Look. It was the biggest turnout of all time . Obama looked like he had more because the paid actors didn’t really care about seeing things. See that picture on the left? People wanted to see the inauguration. Everyone in the photo? Actually three people standing in every spot. People were climbing on top of each other’s shoulders to see. The people were huge. The crowd was huge.

But he does this all the time and never provides ANY context.

Yes, I have had that complaint leveled against me by mods in the past. In this case, anyone who is not a serf in North Korea would have to be on a four-day drunken binge on a deserted island in the Pacific not to know the context.

This is what strikes me about the whole thing. I can’t even once remember giving a shit about an inauguration, yet there’s our new president, going off on a tangent while addressing the CIA. Sigh.

They could have said anything, such as, “Trump supporters can’t take a day off, they’re busy making America great again,” and it would be better.

Honeybunchesofgoats > For Sweden 01/22/2017 at 20:09

Honestly. Like, I thought the whole narrative was that Trump appealed to people in the heartlands, where Hillary couldn’t or didn’t bother. Just say “real Americans live too far from D.C.” or something. But no, we get “alternate facts” instead.

If you’ve been specifically told not to do it in the past, then that’s really not a great reason to keep doing it. We have enough political shit to keep the peace on without vagueposting.

I genuinely feel a bit sad for him. At what point does he actually enjoy his victory? How can someone be so fragile as to hijack the news coverage of their own inauguration as president of the fucking country to have it out over an event that literally no one cares about.

Exactly. What will Trump do about the cargo shorts epidemic sweeping the nation? Nothing.

A vote for TheHondaBro is a vote for cargo shorts.

I have absolutely no sympathy. His ego is writing checks that his body can’t cash. He’s so far out of his league, but he’s too insecure to admit it. Liberals are often accused of being “bleeding hearts.” And my heart definitely bleeds, where his is a heart of stone. And I think Liberals’ hearts bleed because they have compassion for their fellow humans. So, I guess I should have at least a shred of compassion for the man, but I find it difficult to separate the man from the Trump.

I did not think that this would rise -- or sink -- to that level. I thought it was pretty obvious. I apologize.

That’s the scary thing about him. He’s not alone amongst politicians in the shitty things he says or does, and anyone who wants to be the president has to have some sort of out-sized ego by definition, but most people seem to have had some goal that was slightly loftier than validation. Most people get over the fact that mom didn’t hug them enough by the time they hit 70.

it’s frightening how much this bothers him and his press secretary...you know what guy, do a good job and people will fill the entire available space if you make it 4 years (I personally think he’ll be gone before 2) and get elected again. Until you do something worthwhile don’t expect people to be excited about your appointment when you are the most unqualified, controversial and petulant President to ever have been elected. Don’t expect people to celebrate you when you lost the popular vote. Public service and the rules that accompany the office will drive him completely batty...which is saying something being as he’s already batshit crazy.

Does Trump realize his supporters are the elite rich or the obscenely poor and elderly? Since there are more of the ladder they simply can’t afford to go to DC for this. After they lose healthcare benefits they’ll be in even worse financial condition.

My 14 year old would make for a better President.

Neither of those pictures are doctored/edited in any way. And yes, there were more people at womens’ rights marches than there were at the inauguration. Sorry. That’s the truth. And not that Kellyanne Conway bullshit alternate facts truth.

When I checked the news headlines today and learned that Trump and his cronies were trying to put forth, repeatedly, that theirs had been the biggest turnout in history, and said the press were liars, I was in disbelief. And the media are diggin in, and I am glad of that. Outlandish claims and behavior on the part of President Trump and his cadre.

The same ego that can’t stop talking about his election win.

What is comical is the argument on my facebook feed of one individual rubbing in the B.S. line “He’ll calm down after the inauguration”

‘I am taking trouble with you, Winston,because you are worth the trouble. You know perfectly well what is the matter with you. You have known it for years, though you have fought against the knowledge. You are mentally deranged. You suffer from a defective memory. You are unable to remember real events, and you persuade yourself that you remember other events which never happened. Fortunately it is curable. You have never cured yourself of it, because you did not choose to. There was a small effort of the will that you were not ready to make. Even now, I am well aware, you are clinging to your disease under the impression that it is a virtue.

How many folks show up is bound to be a curiosity to many. President Trump claimed that his inauguration had the biggest turnout ever, an alternate fact that is easily refuted.

Would preferred to see a comparison with a normal inaugeration photo. Comparing the Trump inauguration crowds with the crowds of the first black President, an historic event, seems a bit Apples-to-Oranges.
I have no doubt that the Trump numbers will be lower, but still.
