When did Trump get sworn in?
Almost exactly at noon.
Thus, the picture from 11:20 AM Eastern was taken about 40 minutes before the inauguration. As is clearly shown in the CNN "Gigapixel" photo, the national mall was almost completely full of spectators by the time President Trump's inauguration occurred.
Additionally, it is incontrovertible that stringent security procedures made it much more difficult for spectators to enter the mall and other areas in a timely manner.
Thus, side-by-side comparisons of the attendance for President 0bama's inauguration in 2009 vs. President Trump's inauguration last Friday are rather problematic, inasmuch as there were different security procedures in place.
There's also substantial anecdotal evidence that federal employees, sympathetic to the 0bama administration and Democrats in general, were motivated to impede attendance in whatever petty ways they could. That fact, combined with the knowledge that violent, Soros-sponsored protests were in the works, further blunted attendance on the national mall.
Notwithstanding these factors, it should be obvious to all but the most hysterical Democrat malcontents that, not only was the attendance at President Trump's inauguration quite impressive, including in terms of the TV audience, but, when other viewers are considered (such as online streaming), President Trump's inauguration was viewed live by more People than any inauguration in U.S. history.
And regardless, it's also clear to all the People that the photograph showing large amounts of "white space" on the national mall is the epitome of "fake news" from the Establishment and Media (but I repeat myself), amounting to nothing nothing more than clumsy, transparent, and impotent propaganda spread with the sole intent of denigrating President Trump's historic day.
As such, we can expect large numbers of everyday Americans to become increasingly alienated from the Democrat party, which seems to be obsessed with identity politics, and primarily composed of vile, hateful race- and gender-hustlers who don't have the Peoples' interests at heart.
These Democrat haters and their ilk are utterly shameful, lashing out ever more hysterically as their influence steadily wanes, and they are forced to face their own profound impotence...
That time seems about right.
Sworn @ 1:59 PM EST.
