Thomas Barrack head of the Inaugural Committee on CNN last night estimated 1.5-1.8 million but I think he was including the swearing in and parade.
A “friend” of mine on Facebook posted the misleading crowd size photo even before Trump had taken the oath. I called him out and it stirred up quite a debate. Sad that people couldn’t give it a rest for a day we as a country should be celebrating the peaceful transition of power.
Here is a link that has crowd size photos for several recent inaugurations.

I don’t understand the fascination with the crowd size. What does it prove? It proves nothing, it is merely the left trying to convince themselves that the American people did not really reject them on Nov 8.
