Trump Inauguration Crowd Size, a Media Deception

They're very similar to a cult. The charismatic leaders, the Groupthink, etc.

 

Barbara Walters flat out admitted that they thought they were voting in the Messiah. Obama winning meant the oceans were going to stop rising. It was a very religious experience.

 

Liberals are like children. They put their faith in personalities that tell them they care.

 

Why do you keep trying to make some big deal out of the numbers that were there and try responding to the points I made. I think the arguments on both sides have little credence on anything but especially on the left trying to compare apples to oranges.

 

Justify what? Trump had less attendees in the mall area, so what? What is the point the left is trying to make? And Spicer's statement, I think he mispoke and meant the combined viewership if you consider there and worldwide including world wide as Trumps spokespersons were talking later.

In fact I find it quite funny how the left jump all over it as if it had any real bearing on anything. As I asked early, do you think his numbers would have been higher had he been the first white president?

NO they were out as early as possible trying to compare the two turnouts as if it was some kind of slight against Trump trying to marginalize his inauguration.

 

the photo is neither a lie nor a deception. just another example of how trump supporters cant handle reality

- - - Updated - - -

keep complaining about petty past issues, but the reality is there was a low turnout for trump, period

 

You just need to calm down and get over it. Focusing on totally irrelevant numbers is just waste of time. Trump's supporters turned up when it mattered. Deal with it.

The numbers that matter are the 2,600 counties DJT won, the 31 of the 50 states. Donald J. Trump is the legitimate president of the USA.

 

On a side note, and in case anyone hasn't looked, the resolution of that image is absolutely mind-blowing.

 

Perhaps you should direct you "calm down" statement to a different party. Who was it that organised an emergency press briefing to talk about who had the biggest crowd and then lie - that is so embarrasing

 

Weird, it looks like it was warmer in Obama's inauguration, with sunny skies, did global warming end the day Trump took office?

 

i have never said anything about the election results, this thread is about how many showed up for the inauguration, and the turnout was low, period

 

The burden is on you to prove that they lied. Prove it with quantifiable facts. Pictures mean nothing. They're not good enough evidence. Has anyone done head count in 2009 or 2017? No one. As I said the only numbers that mater are that DJT won over 2600 counties and 31 out of 50 states. Pretty convincing victory and all of you who disagree with the outcome had better get used to it instead of acting like spoiled brats and keep making all sorts of childish comments to this forum.

 

Their own figures show that they lied! And again, who gave an emergency press briefing to talk about that important subject of "my crowd was bigger than yours"? How embarrassing ! Unfortunately, you really think that this is about who had the greater crowd

PS Here is a time lapse video posted on Youtube on the day of the inauguration. ie before any talk of crowd sizes;

PPS Did you bother to read the title of this thread. Just for you, we all know who was elected

 

There is no argument on the numbers. The left comparing "apples to oranges" is beyond laughable. You keep trying to make this about the left making much to do about nothing, when it was Trump who made a statement that was a flat out lie and then HE doubled down by sending out his press secretary to somehow blame this on the media. The left didn't do anything but call out the lie, and the media did nothing but their jobs and report the truth

 

Spicer did not "misspeak". He was there to intentionally try to call out the media and doubled it down with yet ANOTHER lie. He actually accused the media of framing the photos to "minimize the enormous support" for Trump. HE accused the media of purposely misreporting, when it was he and Trump who actually did that. This is very Kim Jong-un like when your leader tells you what you saw, and you believe and actually defend it.

I don't give two turds about how many people were in the mall, or watched on TV, I really don't. It is the right who, in an effort to cover Trumps BS is trying to blame the media, or the left, basically anyone but themselves. The media didn't do anything wrong here, unless you think that calling out Trump for a lie wrong.

And whats really amazing is that this is exactly how Trump has created distrust for the media. He lies, and then blames the media for the lie. Its masterfull because he has his followers believing it hook line and sinker. Anytime the media reports anything that you don't want to hear it must be a lie. This is just another step in the overall process to discredit the media, so that they can do whatever they want.

Not even close. Trump is the one who started it, and it was HE who tried to paint his presidency as some populous movement, which is wasn't. Trump claimed at the CIA that it was the largest crowd (he did that BEFORE the media called him out on it). He says something that the media holds him accountable for and it is the media who is bad ? Isn't that their job ? Just because what they say doesn't agree with your ideology doesn't mean they are wrong !!!

 

All it matters is that DJT won the election fair and square. Have you personally done a head count? I couldn't care less about the crowd size. As a matter of fact, if you analyse the whole campaign Trump's movement drew much larger crowds over a period of year than any politician in the U.S history. Large crowds were consistent throughout the campaign. Of course, back then it didn't matter now suddenly it matters. Childish people in the mainstream media. Trump hasn't even started doing his job. Obama has done an abysmal job. A complete failure. One of the biggest frauds in the U.S politics. He has done nothing for the Blacks and the poor. Playing golf was more important than anything else.

 

Do you not understand the topic of this thread, you know, the topic started by the Trump supporter and titled "Trump Inauguration Crowd Size, a Media Deception". Perhaps you can point out which part of the inauguration crowd figures has anything to do with events of last year. So you state that you could not care less about the crowd size yet here you are commenting once again. It is obvious where the childish people are - it is the one who really thinks that this is really about the size of a crowd and not about Trump's absurd embarrassing reaction.

 

Because you say so? I wouldn't be surprised if you were one of the people guaranteeing Hillary would win. In fact, I would be shocked if you weren't.

This is what failure really looks like though:

 

give me a break, the Trump admin was caught lying about the size of their turn out.... they lied..... time to fess up to it

 

Letists accept reality. In that reality, a place outside the world of right wing "alternative facts" the United States of America has done many very good things, but we have also done many terrible things. To live outside the world of jingoistic mindless nationalism and in the world of real facts, you must accept this reality. Therefore leftists accept that America is not perfect. If you don't agree that a country with a history of slavery, genocide, colonialism, and racism is flawed..... I can't really do anything for you.

 

And ridership on public transportation was down, because so many attended.. Face it, not as many people went to see Trump. It wouldn't be a big deal if the President of Ego and Lies hadn't sent his press secretary out to lie, and now they are claiming the right to use "alternative facts", which are outright lies...

Trump lied on the first day of his Presidency over this thin skinned ego and decided to throw a temper tantrum like a 3 year old, when the press was right.

 

The greatest nation in the history of the world is flawed and that comes as such a traumatic shock to leftists that their glorious Political Messiah had to constantly go on world tours to endlessly apologize for their ever having been a United States of America in the first place? Well if THAT is the most important thing in the world to the average nation-hating leftist then nobody can help them.

 

Now your just making sh1t up.......

 

There were 2.4 billion people at Trump's inauguration. It was the biggest ever, believe me.

The only reason it looked like there were a lot more at Obama's inauguration is because grass...or something.

 

I honestly dont think its fair to compare inauguration attendance with Obama. His was historical for a lot of people because he was the first African American to be elected President. I dont think anyone will draw more attendance until there is a Hispanic President being inaugurated for the first time, or the first female President ect that will bring out a section of the population that normally would not attend an event like that. Aside from that, who cares about the inauguration attendance, they are kind of a lame event in my personal opinion. --Its not something I would take the day off and travel for regardless of who is being inaugurated, thats what TV is for when you get home from work.
