Trump Vs Obama's inauguration crowd: Here are the real Photos, You decide

It's a topic that has been debated to death over the past 48 hours: Whose Inauguration drew the biggest crowd?

The drama began on Friday soon after the Inauguration ceremony had concluded when The Department of Interior briefly ceased all social media use after the National Parks Service account was used to retweet a picture showing a drastic different in crowd sizes on the Mall. On Saturday morning, President Trump appeared at the Central Intelligence Agency Headquarters in Langley, Virginia and stoked the controversy by saying:

"It looked, honestly, like 1.5 million people. Whatever it was, it was, but it went all the way back to the Washington Monument."

The saga culminated on Saturday night when White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called in the White House Press Corps to give a terse statement on the issue and what he saw as unfair coverage of the crowds. Spicer shouted down critics of the inauguration and said:

"This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration. Period."

So did Trump really have the largest audience for an inauguration? The National Park Service no longer issues crowd estimates due to a controversy that stemmed from their estimates of crowds at the Million Man March in 1995, so there won't be a definitive estimate. The best way to get an idea of the crowd is to look at the pictures, but the same, misleading pictures keep circulating as definitive proof that people weren't too excited for Trump's inauguration, so let's take a look at some other pictures:

Yes, the video vindicates that trump and his people photoshopped his inauguration pictures to make the crowd look larger.

Here are the real comparism pictures here;


Trump inauguration crowd photos were edited after he intervened

A government photographer edited official pictures of Donald Trump’s inauguration to make the crowd appear bigger following a personal intervention from the president, according to newly released documents.

The photographer cropped out empty space “where the crowd ended” for a new set of pictures requested by Trump on the first morning of his presidency, after he was angered by images showing his audience was smaller than Barack Obama’s in 2009.

It's either you couldn't or wouldn't watch the videoclip because you don't want to be confused with the facts.
