Trump claimed he drew "huge" crowds larger than Obama's inauguration then flipped out when everyone called him on it. Additionally his parade was cut short due to low turnout. And Metro didn't have record breaking crowds.

No one said no one came to trumps inauguration, but his delusions of inaugural grandeur are ridiculous.

Can you quote where someone said hardly anyone was there?
Pics have been floating around suggesting the mall was almost empty.

smaller than Obama? Sure. But definitely not showing that "hardly anyone there" like liberals were claiming
Um no. The gigapixel shows the mall was full. The other picture shows few people outside the mall.

Who's saying hardly anyone was there? A few people on Twitter saying that shouldn't mean much.

the amount of airtime, bandwidth, and column inches spent talking about the attendance to a formality is a sign that the republic has fallen. We may as well just build a colosseum and start having people fight lions for entertainment.

Obama had more up front (none of those empty white areas) and it went ALL the way back to the Lincoln Memorial. Trump's peters out before the Washington Monument. Obama's also spilled over to the sides.

I can't believe there are still people so incredibly brain dead that they believe a single thing, including pictures, put out by the media.

Explain the empty bleachers along the parade route - empty when Trump's limo drove past.

Trump is great. He alone can fix everything.

There are also KKK members hailing Trump. What's your point?

Can you link to something mainstream?

"According to crowd experts Marcel Altenburg and Keith Still from Metropolitan University in the U.K. They estimate that, based on available photos and videos, around 160,000 people were on the National Mall during the inauguration."

Ugh... Failed attempt at a spin...

This was what was said..

"This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period," - White House Press Secretary Spicer

Obviously it was not true and the media didn't deserve the response for calling him on it.

This is a long way from saying that hardly anyone attended.. no one is actually saying that.... Well except idiots on Twitter maybe.
