Any idea what the crowd count was for the day?
I think it was supposed to be 800K or more expected. No official word yet. They usually use aerial pics and a grid to figure it out, but there were 2 houf delays getting in because of the violence and threats of violence. I do hate these people.
My son was there. He said the crowd was not that big.
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.
