Undeniable, trump's inauguration was the largest in history
Here it is folks! Prior to Trump, the largest inauguration in history was Reagan, with 41 million viewers. The second largest, up until Trump, was Obama in 2009, with 37 million viewers. On TV, Trump took in 30.9 million viewers, but on CNN ALONE, THEIR LIVE STREAMS, logged 16.5 million viewers. That would put Trump at 47.3 million viewers if you count ONLY CNN's live stream, and there were MANY live streams. In all reality, when all are added, my guess (and it is obviously only a guess) is that Trump topped 70 million viewers. Obviously the rain cut down the inauguration crowd, and the extremely heightened security due to an umbrella gun threat and countless other threats EVERYONE KNOWS ABOUT prevented at least 500,000 who tried to enter from entering. There were countless people stuck in line that never got in. Obama faced no such problems because white conservatives are so much less violent than liberals of all colors
An umbrella gun could have threatened Trump. a .223 barrel with standard peep sight set up as a single shot to get it to fit in an umbrella, aimed by a guy with 20/08 vision. That will get you deadly at 600 yards, with great predictability. It happened and as a result they took everyone's umbrellas. And it is stupid to argue with that when the fact security stifled attendance has been stated many places, not just here.
At any rate, extreme security threats cut Trump's attendance, but the TV ratings and live streams pretty much say it ALL, on TV alone, Trump topped Bush jr, Bush sr, and Clinton. Hardly a nobody, and the live streams put him WELL ahead of Reagan and Obama. This article does not state Trump was the largest outright, but even a monkey could do the math with what they provide.

Yes, one could. But if lies are being spread (See post#33 bottom right) wouldn't just the truth be enough to counter?
Multiple sources are stating many people were not admitted due to heightened security. That meshes with the waiting lines on left side of top photo.

President Donald Trump's speech Saturday at the headquarters of the Central Intelligence Agency turned into the latest battle in, as he put it, his "running war with the media." He had two central complaints: that the media misrepresented the size of the crowd at his inauguration and that it was incorrectly reported a bust of Martin Luther King Jr. was removed from the Oval Office.

What a sham article.Originally posted by kidrock View Post
"THE FACTS: Trump is wrong. Photos of the National Mall from his inauguration make clear that the crowd did not extend to the Washington Monument. Large swaths of empty space are visible on the Mall."
SHOW THIS PHOTO THEN! THE ARTICLE DOES NOT SHOW THE PHOTO BECAUSE IT WOULD BE EASILY DISCREDITED.

Here is what I like. As we say in racing, Trump is putting the pedal to the metal. AS far as I am concerned, the idiot media can focus on Trumps little rants and ego. In the meantime, America is in fact, becoming great again. The man is going right for the juggies and for a change no special interests own this guy!!!! I love it. "Hey Chicago stop the carnage or I will" REFRESHING. I am sure he didn't take a poll to see if he should say this. Why anyone would want a business strangling liberal in charge is beyond me.

I happen to agree with you on the media and that he has no ties to special interest yet, Lets when it comes time to legislate. It's easy to sign executive orders but, it's totally different when you have to get bills through congress to get things done. And then we will see if he keeps the special interest on the sidelinesOriginally posted by TS FAN View PostHere is what I like. As we say in racing, Trump is putting the pedal to the metal.

I know why Trump is concerned about the numbers because, he's a narcissist but, why the media is mind boggling. Let it go already. I do want them to investigate the voter fruad and put it to rest for this election because next election it will be brought up again.

Trump will have work to do for sure. In the meantime he is getting things moving. He is certainly narcissistic but he is also clever. Reality star you know. I really like what he is actually doing. I hope he adds the revising of the strangle hold that the DOL headed by Liz Warren put on financial advisors. Completely stupid and cumbersome. This has drawn little attention from the media but it is a big deal. the top Reps are very aware of it. just to give you a hint. According to Liz, people with retirement plans and IRA don't need advisors and advisors shouldn't be compensated. Sound like a typical liberal moron? Cost big firms thousands of jobs. Fortunately I have my own brokerage and we are wading through the mess. People don't want advisors don't have to have one, and they usually regret it. Didn't need Liz to stick he flat face in the middle of it.
