Poll: Inauguration attendance will Trump lie?

[HomerJS]

The preliminary attendance estimates are in:

Trump: 250,000
Obama 2013: 1,000,000
Obama 2009: 1,800,000

Can't blame that on the weather or a not-so-groundbreaking candidate. There just weren't nearly as many people interested in Trump. For context: Bush Jr.'s first inauguration had more attendees (300,000).

but....but...but...mandate
but...but...but...landslide

What does one do at an inauguration that makes it more interesting than say, standing in a crowd waiting for the luggage carousal to spin up? If Shakira ever gets inaugurated, I might reconsider.

Are the left wingers and right wingers comparing sizes of inaugurations?

You guys must love this system so much.

Ask the tangerine man. He claimed he would break the record for attendance.

 

[OrByte]

I'm thinking around 200K?

WOW. I was hoping to see this type of comparison but I didn't expect it to be THIS BAD!

yeah...mandate indeed /s

I'm curious to see how big tomorrows march will be

Considering how many people seem to hate the guy, still amazed he was elected.

Can someone do a google image search, I heard on the broadcast news Trumps account sent out a couple of Obama election pictures yesterday.

Funny/Sad thing is his twitter followers probably believe that picture...

Pretty sure that is an image of the famous Nuremberg rally c. 1936 or whenever that was.

oh lol, yep: you can see 2 swastikas on the top of those flags in the bottom left.

propaganda and ultra-nationalist fascist messaging works extremely well on the weak minded. See: Donald Turnip's RNC speech from the Mussolini stage.

here, another angle:

I mean, just look at the lines, the discipline in that crowd. Only Germans can produce order on that scale. ....maybe North Koreans, too.

What is it with him wearing a suit several sizes too big and a comedy long tie?
He looks like an eleven year old that's borrowing his dads clothes.

Come on be nice to Barron. He's a kid.

Modern tradition in the US is generally to give the kids a free pass about most things. You will see pictures of them looking at something important or the "god my parents are such dorks" face but overall press and people prefer to be kind to the Presidents Children provided they are not adults. Trumps adult children are not considered off limits.

Above is a general rule its not law and its not always followed.

Barron looked pretty smart, I was thinking about his dad!

OK, you can't blame this confusion on your phone.

He's going for the Angus Young look.

No! Now its my mind!
Get off my lawn you hooligans'
.....er what was I pissed at you about?

If I were President I'd re-create a VHS video I saw at a friends house in the mid 80s.
AC/DC playing for those about to rock, with 7 real modern-day howitzers in the background doing the cannon parts. The band wasn't all that far away from those guns either.
That may be part of Brian's hearing problems. I'd be ok with a hologram of him for this performance.

*I think the video was at some military honors thing in Australia, been a long time I may be wrong on the location.

At least his jacket fitted!

Trump wants a record attendance for his victory parade/swearing. Barack Obama holds the record at 1.8 million in 2009. Second place was Lyndon Johnson in 1965 at 1.2 million. The rest are far behind.

Answer the question based on what we know about Trump to date.

I'm sure he would have liked to brag about having the biggest crowd, but it was far from that. I doubt he cares about that at this point.
