Just report the facts and quit going after political enemies.

The Google Gigapixel picture, ironically posted on CNN, tells the whole story. The grounds were PACKED, the mall was PACKED all the way back to the Washington Monument, the peripheral areas were PACKED.

All despite the best efforts of the Soros groups, the DHS and even the Capitol police to choke off entry.

Adding the millions upon millions who viewed online worldwide, well, that's just gilding the lily.

Yesssss, yessssss! Let the hate flow through them!

They’re so busy making fun of small hands and orange skin they have completely missed how much of Obama’s eight year nightmare has already begun unraveling.

I literally can’t say enough good things about what DJT has done in a few short days!

When my winning muscles get a little tired, I can exercise my schadenfreude muscles for a little bit on articles like this. I have found that wallowing in the comments is particularly indulgent.

That was the real purpose of the “illegitimate” election meme: To give themselves the patina of righteous justification for openly opposing the entirety of his presidency and administration.

They wanted war, and they wanted a pretext - even a pathetically-transparent one - for declaring war.

Just today I noted that now the radio (ABC) top-of-the-hour news use “quote” before something Trump or one of his own says, whereas they never did that with Obama; they always quoted him as though whatever he said was equatable with reality.

the alt-left media destroyed Palin in 2008, and got 0bama elected. They thought that they could do the same thing with Trump. They failed to realize that Trump was a totally different person, and had a totally different set of assets with which to fight back, and he ultimately beat them at their own game. That is why they are so out of control, and angry.

I think the Donald should just tweet back something like, “You misspelled “Barack Obama” as “Donald Trump” repeatedly in your article. You might want to correct that.”

Sort of reminds you of the story of the Obama administration - there were no scandals during my administration - the economy recovered and is thriving under my administration - Obamacare and the Iran Agreement are the finest accomplishments of any administration ever - and on and on and on.....

Easy for him to write. He just took an old WaPo story about Obama and changed the subject name. Hypocrite.

The Post has evidently decided to improve its image by hiring spiteful eight-year-olds.

Am I correct in saying what Trump and/or Spicer said is that the crowd physically in DC and the millions watching on various media throughout the world was the largest audience ever for an inauguration?

Yes, and according to stories I've read, it's true. The President and his spokespeople acknowledged that the crowd in DC wasn't as large as Obama's, and they never expected it to be. But it was a YUGE crowd, and President Trump's argument is that the picture making the rounds in the media of 'the crowd at the time of the Inauguration', showing all those blank white spaces is a lie.

I know that it's a lie, because I saw that picture on TV about 10 in the morning, and the news anchor said that it looked sparse, but that there were thousands still waiting to get through Security. And even Brit Hume, who I don't think is a big fan of President Trump, said that he was in the white building at the far end of the Mall from the Capitol, almost to the Washington Monument, and that the crowd was all the way back to where he was, by the time of President Trump's swearing in.

The media keeps pushing that small crowd story in their continuing attempt to de-legitimize his Presidency.
