-As the article mentioned, these pictures were taken about an hour before the inauguration, not during it. So, yes, fake news.
-You can clearly see in the Trump photo that large tents ubstructed the view of the Capitol building, so obviously no one is going to stand past them and stare at a tent.
-If you look closely, you will see that in the Obama picture large video screens were provided for viewing. In the Trump photo, they had less screens. Obviously people are going to go to those areas with screens and avoid those without.
-The question remains: were these factors a deliberate attempt by the Park Service or someone higher up (Obama) (or the Russians) to influence attendance?
What about those empty patches of grass way up front? Was The Moscow airport snowed in that day?
What was the point of this request? To get Trump all riled up over crowd sizes again? Has the media just become Trump trolls in order to help the Democrats? I guess they're trying to get the news off the wiretapping, which turns out to have a lot more teeth than they expected. Suddenly all eyes are on who Obama approved for surveillance under his watch. And then Trump's claim doesn't appear so stupid.
I understand, but why? We all know Trump will take the bait, which is totally on him, but why go there? Of all the FOIA requests they could make, this is what they used? And people ignore Judicial Watch when they get actual important information.
The National Park Service released photos of crowds at both Obama and tRump inaugurations. The photos were released yesterday based on Freedom of Information Act requests by news media after President Bonkers claimed his was bigger.
So what if people in liberal Democrat Washington D.C. and its liberal Democrat environs didn't show up to watch the inauguration in bad weather?
Why would anyone expect them to?
The ones employed in the federal government (over 90% of their contributions were to Hillary) were too busy plotting to destroy Trump -- which they have been trying to do ever since.
Because Washington is overwhelmingly Democrat, it would be more fair to compare Trump's inauguration crowd to those of Bush and Reagan. Even then, you would have to take the weather into account -- and the fact that some people have to work on Fridays, even a few Democrats.

Trump's inauguration was watched by more people by far than any other inauguration in history.
the evidence doesn't support your claim.
