Trump keeps repeating that no one has ever held an event in that location before. He says it was his idea to have a concert, he's the first to do it.

(42,702 posts)Pre-inaugural concert held at the Lincoln Memorial on January 18. Even though it was two days before the inauguration (not one) and even though the temperatures were below freezing -- 15 degrees colder than they are now. And the crowd that night was estimated at over 400,000. If tonight's event has half than many I'll be shocked. (I was downtown around 4 pm and it just wasn't that crowded.)
