The desperate need by Trump and his supporters for Trump to be viewed as the most popular is truly amazing. Looks like he came in 3rd since Reagan and 4th if we go back to Carter. Perhaps he should get a trophy for showing up.

Door #3: There is more than one reason people voted for Trump and you've fallen for media lies and misrepresentations.

I guess it's history, but it's not a moon landing or the fall of the Berlin Wall.

The moon landing did not have a guy with fake arm. I noticed the odd way his arms were when it was live but it never occurred to me it was a fake arm. The woman to the right of him also has odd arm positions and it doesn't appear they move either.

Are you sure? Seems like the majority of them are either unemployed or retired judging by his rallies.

I watched Carter's inauguration on TV at age 4 while sitting on a miniature rocking chair and enjoying my very first tuna salad sandwich. I will never forget that sandwich. I have loved tuna salad ever since.

It's difficult to drive by a horrific car accident and not want to look.
The high ratings don't indicate approval ya know.
The more important numbers (especially to trump himself) are those at the inauguration itself.
Making a trip to D.C. and all that it entails is not something done lightly. Turning on the t.v. is easy. The relatively small number of people actually at the inauguration is more telling.

I like that. Sweet. Carter was (is) a lovely man. A true Christian imo. He's done amazing work for so many, many years.

The birter-in-chief has turned our nation into a laughing stock dumbed-down reality show...The White House episodes.

Listen to yourself and how this bait and switch swindler has made viewer ratings the criteria for everything. This is truly pathetic!

It was a historic inauguration in that it showed that a non-politician can win and can do it without spending a billion dollars.
false premise, the RNC spent the money instead of his campaign, it still means it was spend.
