I have completed exhaustive analysis of the disputed Trump crowd shot and the CNN gigapixel crowd shot. As much as it pains me to say, the two images match quite well and the disputed crowd shot is legitimate and represents the actual crowd size. There was no deception on the part of the media.
I have four decades of experience as an advertising photographer. I am qualified to make this kind of analysis.
As a Trump supporter and voter I think it does us a great disservice to not deal honestly with issues such as these. In this case even the President and his staff have it wrong, and it hurts all of us.
Who cares. Trump got more leftist fat women to get off the couch than Obamba did.
Btw, if ya add in on-line viewers, Trump swamps Obamba.
On the contrary. I cared not a whit about it on Jan 20 and remain completely uninterested.
Trump is president. End of.
You’re just going to get chewed up for thinking facts matter.
Several commentators have observed that the D.C. area is heavily Democrat. It makes sense that turnout would be lower for any Republican President.
Trump supporters have jobs
And I can't be the only one....not by a long shot.
Thanks photo guy!
(Who was that masked man?)
What time of day was the picture taken?
Nonsense. See Powerlineblog for a few entries on this. Who cares what your qualifications are if your are not telling the truth?
Did you check the time stamp on both pictures?
You have an interesting posting history. It’s filled with insults directed at FReepers.
Good detective work.
Now, the Obama picture was taken at the height of the day during the Inauguration.
The Trump picture in question was taken at 9am, way before the Inauguration.
Do you think, with your obvious skills, that the time the photos were taken might make a difference ?
Which photo are you talking about?
Yeah. DC always votes 95%+ for democrats.
Bingo!
I do not agree.
I believe Trump’s crowd was smaller, yes. But the pictures which were floated by the media were in fact early photos, which badly misrepresented the final crowd.
It was raining that day, and a lot of people were working.
But yes, the media misrepresented the crowd though.
No question.
I heard someone say there was no time stamps on the photo comparisons so Trumps could have been taken earlier then Obama’s.
Could you please explain the dispute?
How much of a numerical difference are we disputing?
A 100 thousand? less? more?
