Huge Attendance at Trump Inauguratin

[ClydeR]

The crowd at the inauguration is huge! Trump predicted it would be record-setting, and he appears to have been right. Unfortunately, after it's over, the dishonest media will report that it was smaller than Obama's crowd.

If you remove the illegal inauguration attendees, Trump would have won the popular inauguration count as well.

2017 on the left, 2009 on the right. Seems like a big difference. Could be due to the weather there today of course... but I think it's a little early to be getting up the "dishonest media"'s ass.

Best image I could find right now, this is when Trump walked out. All that is filled it back to the Washington monument at that time.

Sure don't. I just posted a picture. Thanks.

[time4fun]

It's pretty clear at this point that this was a low turnout inauguration. It's true that the picture posted was on the early side, and it did purportedly get a bit better, but it was sparse by all measures.

Which isn't particularly surprising given he was not the peoples' choice for President (losing by almost 3 million votes), and that he has a historically low favorability rating going into office- with about 55% of this country unhappy about his Presidency.

Both sides are going to have to accept that reality.

That's what it looked like about 15 minutes before he was being sworn in, at least on CNN's overhead cameras.

No, I think it is an average turn out crowd for an inauguration. Obama's was high turn out.

The one I posted was when he was walking out, see how it was filled in?

Go look at Obama's from the sa....you know what nevermind. This really isn't the argument I'm looking to have.

Did you notice Trump wasn't wearing an American Flag lapel pin?

[Back]

Even if everyone agrees that the turn out this year was lower than any other before Trump will insist it is the media fabricating fake news. He has learned well from his comrades.

I was never saying he had more than Obama. I was saying it was more than what the one picture, that was taken over 30 minutes prior to Trump even walking out, showed. Yeah, I found the upload time for the pic on the internet.

[Gelston]

But hey, it is time to make America great again. We got a wall to build and some illegals to boot out.

You STILL haven't come to terms with how our electoral system works?

You are so fucking annoying. Grow up already.

Fair enough..it's literally a pointless debate anyway

[Gelston]

Every debate on here is pointless. This is an internet forum for an almost 30 year old text based game.

[Pin]

Doesn't really matter what the turn out was, much like the popular vote doesn't matter.
A lot of people probably didn't show up cause they didn't want to get involved in the violence the Liberals were promising to bring. A lot of us on the right would rather just shoot liberals now when they act up rather than debate them.

You must be incredibly fun to have at parties

He probably isn't an anonymous troll at parties.

No one (except you) has said that this year was lower than any other Presidential Inauguration.

Fake news indeed, dumbass.

It's not the lowest - it's actually about the same as Clinton's back in '93.

Bush Jr didn't even have half the attendance at his as only around 300,000 people showed up.

This just seems small compared to Obama - who had something like 1.8 million people show up for his.

[Pin]

Only reason Obama had more is cause he was the first ape in the White house and his cousins wanted to see.
But it really doesn't matter. I am having a blast watching the riots though. I keep hoping the cops will shoot the liberal scum with real bullets.

Real liberals would never harm a Starbucks.

[Pin]

Their attack apes(blacks) would though.

even the white ones?

Only people I see behind the masked (Maskirovka) rioters are white. Probably a false flag event. How could they be doing that all day in DC during an inauguration? I don't buy it.

Wow I didn't know we had openly racist pieces of shit on this board.

We don't. That is an anonymous troll account. So, while the person is racist, they still aren't openly.

Ok, so just racist pieces of shit.

I guess he prolly won't be giving me his Gemstone character names then...

Are you threatening to beat him up in game over this?

Wouldn't that be the natural endgame to this?

If that's the endgame, that's just as equally limited as his trolling.

I didn't threaten anybody.

It's your business. Just made me lol.

We could always meet irl wanna do that?

Nice try. Not today, ISIS.

[ClydeR]

I called it!


Earlier in the day, President Trump complained at an appearance at the CIA about network coverage suggesting that his crowds were thin.

“I get up this morning, I turn on one of the networks and they show an empty field. I said, ‘Wait a minute, I made a speech,’ I looked out, the field was, it looked like a million, million and a half people,” he told CIA staffers at a visit to Langley Saturday. “They showed a field where there were practically nobody standing there, and they said Donald Trump did not draw well.”

“It looked honestly, it looked like a million and a half people, whatever it was, it was, but it went all the way back to Washington Monument,” Mr. Trump added. He took umbrage at some media coverage that suggested much lower numbers. “I get this network and it showed an empty field,” he marvelled. “And it said we drew 250,000 people, now that’s not bad but it’s a lie.” Mr. Trump claimed “the 20 block area all the way back to the Washington Monument was packed.”

The new Press Secretary's first press conference was supposed to be on Monday, but they called a special meeting of the press corps today primarily to discuss this issue. You seriously need to watch this press conference..

CNN is one of the organizations that posted the misleading photo. They even have the photos at this link (http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/20/politics/donald-trump-barack-obama-inauguration-crowd-size/) where you can slide back and forth between the two images. As Sean Spicer said, it's obvious that the difference is attributable to the light color of the protective covering that they put over the grass this year but not when Obama was inaugurated.

The attendance that this inauguration was the largest at any inauguration in the history of inaugurations.

[drauz]

I was going to attend but didn't because it was supposed to rain and they weren't going to allow umbrellas. I didn't really care about the inauguration itself, just wanted to see the protesters for myself.

[Candor]

217 people were arrested for rioting in DC on Inauguration Day. Guess that's 217 liberals who will be losing their right to vote for awhile.

Donald Trump’s inauguration ratings were the second-highest in 36 years, according to Nielsen.


The swearing-in of the 45th president was seen by 30.6 million viewers across 12 networks.


The only inauguration over the last three decades that tops Trump’s number in the linear ratings? Barack Obama’s first inauguration back in 2009, which had a record-setting 37.8 million viewers.


Before that, you’d have to go all the way back to Ronald Reagan in 1981, who was seen by 41.8 million viewers (Nielsen tracks inauguration ratings back to 1969).


The numbers are all the more remarkable considering Trump is entering into office with rather low approval ratings compared to past presidents and sparked protests worldwide along with vows to not watch his inauguration.


And actually, Trump might have been seen by more viewers than either Obama or Reagan. Nielsen ratings do not account for online viewing, which has grown sharply in recent years and is far more commonplace than even four years ago. CNN, for example, clocked 16.9 million streams on its website, tying with Election Day for the site’s top event.

Which narrative?

That Trump's inauguration wasn't popular.

I thought this was pretty obvious? Are you suffering from a stroke?

That's no way to talk to my comrade!

I thought this was pretty obvious? Are you suffering from a stroke?Everyone in this thread including the President of the United States of America had been discussing the attendance at the inauguration: pictures of the crowds on the Mall, numerical estimates, and so on. Nobody had mentioned the teevee. If there is someone here suffering from a stroke, it is not I.

[Gelston]

I'm surprised Ragiken's account was just straight up deleted. I guess with was easier than banning him and then editing out all his posts.

He did ask for it in another thread though.

[ClydeR]

Everyone in this thread including the President of the United States of America

How did you figure that? Sets, subsets, elements.
