Just prior to his inauguration, President Donald Trump predicted huge crowds for his ceremony. Estimates are still rolling in about how many actually attended. Photos seem to show it was fewer people than for Barack Obama’s two inaugurations.
But the number of attendees at inaugurations has varied widely throughout the years.
God Lord how immature can some be? It is over with, he is our president, give it up and grow up. Your title along to this post is meaningless; it makes no sense.
Then you say: face it, no one likes you? Well how did he get to be the most powerful person, maybe in the world if NO ONE likes him? If he were to quit, would you be behind our VP 100% or even 90%? We all knwo the answer to that?
I know he's the president, but I don't like it and I'll never shut up about it.
You know Trump will look at those pictures and make an excuse (like his followers in this thread) about why so relatively few people showed up for his inauguration.
And yes, I would greatly prefer Pence as president. I disagree with him on about 100% of the issues, but he comports himself in a dignified manner, doesn't insult people, and appears to have the attention span of an adult. I feel about him like I did the two Presidents Bush when they were elected. I wasn't happy, but I wasn't appalled.
I know you weren't a Trump supporter initially and I doubt seriously that you like him now. But your partisanship won't let you admit it and that's okay.
What did you expect? He's Trump so he's gonna act like Trump til the day he dies.
As much as I loathe the idea of him as president, I'm kinda glad the inauguration is over. Now he can start making an ass of himself 24/7. The more people see of him, the less they'll like him.
and you are basing the turnout on 2009 what about 2012? As for boring, I didn't find it a bit more boring than others. Have you ever attended one personally or paid much attention to them in the past? My guess is NO.
I was speaking of the entire inaugural.
I have paid attention to them. Obama's in 2008 was quite a blowout. Great set of performers and so forth.
I cannot recall much about 2012, but I seem to recall that midterm ones are not so exciting.... thinking back to the Bush Jr years.
You guessed incorrectly, but that's alright. This forum can often result in some kneejerk responses.

It was absolutely WONDERFUL to listen to a speech from a President that talked about "We" and who loves his country verses a speech from a narcissist who talks about himself and has completely destroyed his country.
My greatest hope is he will clean up illegals, lift up the inner cities and the people who suffer there, bring jobs to all who can work and restore the pride in our country. My hope is he can restore the respect from other countries, crushes radical Islam and most of all, can heal the racial, social, economic and religious divide Obama created and fostered.
Trumps order of priorities goes something like ...
1 - Trump
2 - Trump
3 - Trump
4 - Trump being the center of attention
5 - Women (those he ranks as a 10)
5 - Money
6 - Gold leaf
7 - Trumps family
8 - Trumps businesses

If that's true, then why did he campaign on bringing their jobs back?
LOL, beat me to it!
Loving all the mental gymnastics Trump supporters are doing to avoid accepting this man is the most unpopular POTUS in HISTORY. Considering Presidents tend to be most popular on Inauguration Day, I think we can only expect his number to continue to fall. Obama's Inauguration in 2008 was attended by people from across the U.S. The same is true of Trump, just far fewer people cared to come.
Obama came in with something like 70 percent approval ratings and is leaving at 62 percent. Trump will be lucky if his DISAPPROVAL rating is less than 62 percent in 2020.
