The bushes are clearly fuller in the Trump photo. That's what's obscuring the "missing" team members.

The Obama pic has more than 100 people in it, it looks like the Trump pic has about 50

that didn't stop Giselle from tweeting out a message reminding everyone of the climate change march April 29 in Washington DC during the WH ceremony. LOL She has recently deleted that tweet.

staffers in the Obama picture, but in the Trump picture, they're seated in the audience. Clearly in the Obama picture, there's more than just players and coaches there. In total, there were about 15 more players that showed for Obama than for Trump.

Maybe someone got their numbers flipped. It's a good bit less than Obama got in 2015, but right in line with the numbers that went to the Bush white house years ago.
