But how can you know the times the pics were taken? Sure the media can say they were both taken at the same time or within an hour of each other but there has been so many media lies who knows what is true?
Trump has no sense of occasion. In front of a wall honoring CIA dead he whines about the unfair press and brags about how many magazine covers he's been on.
What has happened to the man's well-honed sense of readings his audience?
Why didn't he talk about honoring those who had given their lives protecting our nation by continuing the work?
It's fascinating at how the media absolutely ignored, in fact went out of their way to avoid reporting the size of the rally crowds between Trump & Hillary, which now are totally focused on crowd size.
Buddy, at noon it didn't. It was jam packed all the way back to the media tents
Every inaugural in this area looks JUST like this. This is up front, the high demand tickets. Always full here. Nice try.
I'm just not sure why you can't admit the truth. It's not a big deal. It's not a big deal really how many attend. The crowd size was reported as is ANY event. Yes, people compare different inaugurations. Obama's crowd size was compared to Bush's, and so on.
It's really okay if the crowds were smaller. There could be many reasons for it, besides who the president is.
What is a big deal is this attempt to counter the truth and create spin. It's bizarre.

In this particular case, anyone could have watched the live webcam as I did. Most of the shots were taken from this webcam. I had the thing on an hour before the speech. This is one lie that can easily be fact checked and it has been.
I am not sure why the administration needed to lie about this, especially on something that could be seen with anyone's own eyes.
This right here is a FINE example of Trump trying to manipulate the people. Some of his tries haven't been so easily proven, but this one is. I realize he is probably "your guy" and the media isn't Jesus, but you need to really have a hard think about this and figure out if you are going to swallow everything fed to you, or check out what you being fed. Everyone needs to be able to THINK.
Clearly they have their priorities in order (sarcasm).
The organized opposition to Trump and the popular uprising of working-class Americans that put him in the White House for the expressed purpose of addressing widespread corruption has attacked Trump's legitimacy since his election.
As we have confirmed from the leaked Podesta e-mails, the corruption in Washington directly involves the very dishonest dinosaur media, so there is no chance to restore integrity to the nation's capital without confronting news organizations that have committed themselves to slanting the news.
This is long overdue.
As for the crowd size, the park service stopped estimating crowd sizes after the "million man" march, so there is no official estimate, but during Trump's speech I did see that the mall was filled all the way back to the Washington memorial.
The large vacant areas seen in the NYT images were not what I saw during the speech, so it seems to be a legitimate beef.
If we rely solely upon DC metro ridership on Friday and compare it with January 21, 2009, we can confidently estimate that Trump's inaugural attendance was a very respectable 934,000.
Again though, I don't think it matters how many people watched or were there.
It certainly seemed to matter to many posters on C-D during the campaign.
