(47,953 posts)The crowd went way beyond the Washington Monument, back into the WWII monument and even further. There were monitors set up back there so people could see.
What you don't see in the trump pic is that they had huge tents just below the image between the washington monument and the capitol, presumably empty. Obama did not.
