There are a few differences between what Donald Trump represents and what President Barack Obama represents.
snip 'cause I don't know how to copy the pic...
When Senator Barack Obama celebrated in the same place, the day before his inauguration, it was estimated that about 400,000 people were in attendance. Tonight MSNBC is estimating that the most unpopular and (un)democratically elected Trump has about 10,000 people. Its like they all thought Punxsutawney Phil was going to tell them that they are all going to be billionaires like Donald Trump? Does this mean that Donald Trump has hands 1/40 the size of President Obama? Maybe his brain is 1/40 the size? It probably means that Donald Trumps heart is 1/40th the size of a truly great man.

(2,573 posts)it's kinda empty. Glad that will be rectified with all the protestors arriving en masse.

(409 posts)And it was not nearly as crowded today as I expected. And plenty of the visitors were anti-Trump protestors.

(9,974 posts)At the site where he laid a wreath at the Unknown Soldier. He is full of shit. I saw it live and even the anchors commented that the seats that were usually for dignitaries were EMPTY. There was no one there. The only group that there were "lot of" was his family/clan.

(182,794 posts)I've been to several large college football games and I noticed as the clustertrump started that it wasn't near the size of a crowd filing into Va. Tech or Clemson game.
You have to realize that the seating in the front takes up a lot of space and areas have to be kept open. The area just past the first satellite screens (both sides of the reflecting pool) aren't even full.
There were way more people at the Anti- war march in October 2002. I mean vastly more. Stewart and Colbert's Concert for Sanity dwarfed this too.

(28,347 posts)After which, Trump will complain that the lying media, and the dishonest Democrats "tried to say that my supporters were actually protesters. Sad."

So I fully expect them to use an Obama inauguration crowd picture (wide overhead shot so you can't see crowd faces/races/ethnicities) and photoshop Trump in it...

(6 posts)This Russian invasion not only altered the election, but shows the extent Trump is willing to go to gain power. He has allied with our enemy, which means he's a traitor and fraud.
Raster
(20,998 posts)...just to get and keep power. Don't tell me Comrade McConnell didn't have a clue when he threatened partisan action if Obama tried to warn the electorate.
I'll tell you who else is up their eyeballs in this shit is Rep. Jason Chaffetz --R, Liar/Hypocrite/Asshole/Traitor, UT.

(15,286 posts)Trump gets great crowds for his events and those people vote! So it doesn't matter that no one showed up for his inauguration, it's just how Trumpbots roll.
