So now can also agree that they pushed fake news and you are doing it too.

What fake news?

You just said Trump's crowd was weak, as did the MSM. Fake news.

Yes it was very weak by inauguration standards...Massive numbers by Apprentice Reunion standards.

Kind of like 63 Million people voting for Trump was a blowout as long as you don't take into account the 66 Million that voted against him.

Or that his 304 electoral votes was a "landslide" as long as you don't acknowledge that his Electoral margin of victory ranked 46 out 56 Presidential elections.

Trump's childish pettiness and ego driving him and his supporters to invent "Alternate Facts" around his lack of popularity is really inconsequential.

But honestly...denying numbers and reality around attendance is one thing...Doing the same with science, climate change or economic policy?...It's frightening to watch such an insane level of self-serving, narcissistic dishonesty in the WH.

Trump and his minions have literally demonstrated on day 1 that his dishonesty was not a campaign tactic...it is policy.

I see you are perpetuating the MSM fake news... very weak by inauguration standards?

2017 > 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993, 1997, 2001, 2005
2009 > 2017
2013 vs 2017 debatable.

Sorry to burst your fake news bubble.

Here is Bill Clinton's crowd in 1993, his first inauguration and the record before Obama 2009.

Now, continue with your fake news...

Lord...I don't know what to do with your consistent BS...

That pic with Clinton's Inaugural?

See the tents? The National Mall was closed during the Inaugriation...It was used as a concert ground BEFORE Jan. 20th the previous two days though..

Reunion on the mall

America's Reunion on the Mall was a two-day multi-stage festival as part of the 1993 Presidential Inaugural Celebration, held from January 17–19.

One million people attended the event on the National Mall between Capitol Hill and the Washington Monument.
With tents stretching from the Capitol to the Washington Monument, it was reported to be the largest festival ever held on the Mall.

The two-hour outdoor concert that started the festival kicked off the Clinton/Gore Inaugural.
Hundreds of thousands of people attended the free concert, which featured entertainers Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Michael Bolton, Tony Bennett, Bob Dylan, Diana Ross, and rapper LL Cool J.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Getty Images of the 20TH January Inauguration address and you pretend it's from the days before LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

No...I said the mall was CLOSED for the actual Inauguration of Clinton...But had been used the two prior days for concerts..

Did you actually read my post?

3) Trump's crowd was very large (at least the 3rd biggest ever in that location, and possibly the 2nd biggest)

according to........

?

Because so much nope.

So...as snopes points out..

Some media reports cited organizers that pegged the expected crowd size for Trump's inauguration between 700,000 to 900,000 people — still a relatively large gathering.

However, in 2013, Obama's inauguration crowd was an estimated 1 million:


President Bill Clinton, 1993: 800,000 people
President Bill Clinton, 1997: 250,000 people
President George W. Bush, 2001: 300,000 people
President George W. Bush, 2005: 400,000 people
President Barack Obama, 2009: 1.8 million people
President Barack Obama, 2013: 1 million people

www.snopes.com...

So if we took Trump's Inaugural Committees ESTIMATION CLAIMS BEFORE the actual inauguration as accurate..

THEN it would rank at 2 or 3 in attendance..

Unfortunately we have a steady history of mathematical exaggeration with the Trump Campaign and associates..

If the Washington Metro was taken as an indicator...

Metro Ridership:
As of 11am, 193k trips taken so far today.
11am 1/20/13 = 317k, Obama
11am 1/20/09 = 513k, Obama
11am 1/20/05 = 197k) Bush

Too late - you were caught pushing fake news.

Too late for what? Math? You are slipping into strange territory here..

The pictures, which you have used as evidence for 2009vs2017, are all available for every Inauguration. It's very clear.
2013 vs 2017 is a debate.

Nice cherry pic...but even then..

How??? 2013 v 2017

My word, you are desperate to prove the fake claim that Trumps crowd was 'very weak by inauguration standards'.
I said 2013 v 2017 is debatable, not that 2017 was greater. Also, picture whilst the speech is happening please.

But lets stick to the main thrust. You said Trumps crowd was "very weak by Inauguration standards".

Yet it was bigger than 1981, 1985, 1989, 1993, 1997, 2001, and 2005.

Care to walk back your fake news or are you going to pretend images of the other events are not real?

Oh look here is Clinton 1997 and there are TENTS... I suppose he was getting sworn in as part of a concert then as well

None of your posts can refute that the White House lied about the inaugural attendance and attacked the press for reporting the truth.

Shouldn't you be counting the size of the crowds pushing for and against Brexit while we count our own ants? I mean, if you voted for Brexit, you have some troubles of your own to face up to. Or are you a US citizen in the UK Midlands? Is your family here?

It is undeniably false to push a narrative that Trump's inauguration crowds were weak. Fake News.

Compared to the other 44 inaugurations, it was weak. Like the reasons to vote for him. It doesn't matter anyway. The March blew the whole thing apart. FIVE MILLION people marched on Saturday. That out-shines ANY National Mall crowd....EVER. The GLOBAL MALL is much bigger than Trump's weak grasp on the pulse of the population.

Compared to literally every other inauguration? Lol

And you people wonder why the right has their back up about this, when you make claims like that that have literally no factual basis, but your hard-on for pooping on Trump is so great that you'll go wherever you have to go to try and score points.

And that's coming from a guy that has repeatedly said the administration is lying about the number of people that showed up lol

So...By my math your claim has now morphed to Greater than 800k (1993) ???
The highest attendance amongst you shrinking math and time reality?

I will set aside that Clinton's inauguration were multiple day events with concerts and stick with just the actual inauguration attendance at 800k.

Please show me the reliable estimate that Trump's Inauguration had in excess of 800k.

a reply to: UKTruth

Can we stick to Inaugurations? Where trump has one of the biggest crowds in the history of the event, either second or 3rd.

Definitely NOT second. Head count estimates are not official yet. The aerial photographs speak for themselves, and I posted one from 11 minutes prior to the "Bible minute." That was while "God" was there being heavy handed and not rapturing up his fans. After Pence was sworn in.

At least there's a sliver of hope that he'll actually "come to Jesus" and realize that he is supposed to be caring for the weak, not boasting, not lying, not stealing and coveting. If his Bible friends hold him accountable for all of those directives, we might have a chance. Not looking too good though.

His nominees are uber-right wing and opposers of civil rights. Look up their histories for yourself.

Ah, so some excuses.
Fact : Clinton's 1993 Inauguration crowd was smaller than Trumps. As was every other inauguration at this location since 1981, other than 2009 and possibly 2013.
So, not 'very weak' by inauguration standards at all, after all.

Yes, I'd say probably 3rd, not 2nd, of all Inaugurations held at the location.

Not "alternative facts."

Compared to literally EVERY OTHER INAUGURATION. And here's another fun fact:

10:34 AM - 20 Jan 2017

The Women’s March on Washington drew at least 500,000 people to the streets of Washington, DC on Saturday — a crowd roughly three times bigger than the audience at President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration the day before, crowd scientists told the New York Times.

Nationwide, the Women’s March may have been the largest demonstration in US history, with at least 3.3 million people attending marches in more than 500 cities.

The sense is simple.
You claimed that Trump's crowd was very weak by Inauguration standards.
The pictures show that Trumps crowd was bigger than 1981, 85, 89, 93, 97, 01, and 05, smaller than 09 and not clear for 2013.
So your assertion was incorrect/dishonest. Whichever you would prefer.

Maybe lower the camera angle another 10 feet and you wont se the white patches at all!

Or maybe take an Ariel view for an accurate perspective?

Compare it to another Arial view from the exact same height and angle from other inaugurations?..

It's pretty clear to anyone not trying to push a false narrative.
Also, it's not in debate your pic was from about an hr before Trump spoke, so unless you think no one arrived in that hr, the crowd obviously got bigger than you showed in an earlier pic.
Is that too 'common sensy' for you.
