Top Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway said Sunday that presidents are not judged by "the crowd sizes at their inauguration," even as other members of Trump's administration continued disputing media reports on the subject.
"The crowd size, it's actually not a very animating topic to me for a very simple reason," Conway said on ABC's "This Week."
"He had hundreds of thousands of people here, there's no question," she said. "Presidents are not judged by their likeability ratings among contemporaries or the crowd sizes at their inauguration."
"i completely agree with that. We spent eleven hours on the air during the inauguration, barely talked about the crowd size if we brought it up at all," George Stephanopoulos replied. "The question is, why does the President choose to talk about that at the CIA? Why does he send his press secretary out to talk about it in his first White House briefing and say things that aren't true?"

Now that we have been officially introduced to the Propaganda Ministry, we don't get lies - we get "alternative facts."

(3,031 posts)My 7 year old is quick to offer alternative facts over things like snatching toys away from her younger sister. And then quick to announce she didn't really like said toy when we make her give it back.
So Trump and his crew are basically 7 year olds.

(90,778 posts)Of course size of the crowd matters to Trump. His ego demands he is seen as "the best of the best of the best". Anything that threatens his delusions is to be attacked by him and his idiot-brigade.
Trump is all about optics, all about the PR, all about the ratings, all about being popular. Trump is without substance and is all about the shallow.
