    This should be a good thing seeing as how fewer Americans are susceptible to the political propaganda. Imagine a time when a president would organize an inauguration and nobody shows up.
    Meh.

    If The Bern had won, I bet the place would have been just as packed as it was for OBombya.

    That said, I'd hope that people "on the right" would be less enamored of "rah rahing" out in the rain for a politician than most people.

    That's coming from a man who marched through a blizzard for Ron.

    LOL

    Infuriating!

    Come on, folks. We are better than this. I mean, it was cool to see Ron Paul's crowds to hear a liberty message, but it wasn't a popularity contest. It was cool because of how many people were hearing the message. This?! This is just vanity by proxy.

    I think you would have seen the same low numbers with Hillary, Bernie and even Rand. People have been seriously let down by Obama to the point that they have an automatic cynicism about politicians. Even Obama's second term saw a 30% drop in attendance.

    Bernie would have been exposed as a crazy socialist during the general election. The man's angry old man routine would have dampened his enthusiasm really fast among regular voters.

    No surprise Obama was the first American-African President. Another reason is if a person wore an Obama shirt they would not worry about being violently attacked or in the cross fire of the streams of mace from the trigger happy police.

    If I were to be sworn in as prez Id do it in some obscure rural town in middle america where it is legal to carry and as a big finger to the importance of the DC beltway.

    Wonder what the crowd would have been like if the inauguration was in, Houston or Knoxville or Akron or Mobile?

    No, actually, they preferred Hillary's brand of propaganda.

    I think they took him out of auto mode and now it is operated by a human. Still sucks though. I predict by the end of the next week it no longer will be "beyond repute". I think one of the features of this AI bot is no neg repping, no PMs, so fire at will.

    Yes, the Bernie and Hillary propaganda is still more popular than that of Trump but the numbers are down for both parties and to this we should cheer.

    What do we do now? I dunno what we do but I hope that when the time comes that the authorities can no longer entice us to attend or watch their crowning ceremonies, you wouldn't need me to tell you what to do.

    I'm shocked that one of the two most hated candidates in history (Hillary being the other) couldnt generate a bigger crowd.

    50% of registered voters stayed home on election day.

    Tricky optics

    Yes Obama had more people, but theses pictures show it was pretty fully, many could not get in because protesters blocked them.
    These were taken when Trump was speaking.





    That white empty spot beside the tent in the second picture is a good point of reference to show how the two pictures fit together, also the statue of the horse and rider. First picture is after the water break, second picture shows you more until the water break.
    These people are arguing that it was empty after the water break, clearly it isn't.

    They are using rear pictures at an earlier time to achieve their optics, even 20 minutes makes a difference.

    That's because the fake news helped cover up all these atrocities. Out of sight - out of mind.

    Shows Trump insecurities. He has to be Number One at everything. If he isn't, there is either cheating or lying. TV audience also down.

    Trump inauguration draws nearly 31 million U.S. television viewers


    Nearly 31 million viewers watched live U.S. television coverage of Donald Trump's presidential inauguration, far fewer than tuned in to Barack Obama's first swearing-in, but otherwise the biggest such audience since Ronald Reagan entered office, ratings firm Nielsen reported on Saturday.

    The tally for Trump - 30.6 million viewers on 12 broadcast and cable networks that aired live coverage from about 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. EST - surpassed the TV audiences measured for his two most recent Republican predecessors - both inaugurations of George W. Bush and the one of his father, George H.W. Bush.

    The 2009 inauguration of Obama, who became the nation's first African-American president that year, was watched by nearly 38 million viewers, the second-highest number since Nielsen began compiling such figures with Richard Nixon's 1969 oath of office.

    Only Reagan drew a bigger U.S. TV inauguration audience, with nearly 42 million viewers tuning in to see the California Republican sworn in for his first term in 1981. Just 25 million watched Reagan take his second oath of office four years later.

    Trump's total was greater than both swearing-ins of Democrat Bill Clinton - 29.7 million and 21.6 million - and the second inauguration of Obama, who drew an average audience of over 20.5 million in 2013, Nielsen said.

    George W. Bush holds the distinction for having the least-watched inauguration in Nielsen's historical data - 15.5 million viewers in 2005 after he defeated John Kerry for his second term in the White House. That was down sharply from the 29 million who tuned in for Bush's first oath in 2001, following his contested election victory over Al Gore.

    The elder Bush by comparison averaged 23.3 million viewers.

    Nixon, a Republican, was the only two-term president since Nielsen began compiling such records to draw a bigger audience in his second inauguration than his first, rising from 27 million in 1969 to nearly 33 million in 1973.

    The only Democrat besides Obama to ever score more inauguration viewers than Trump was Jimmy Carter, with 34.1 million viewers watching his 1977 swearing-in, according to Nielsen.

    Lie #1: President Trump was focused on the crowd size at the inauguration. He mentioned it in passing in his speech at the CIA, and Press Secretary Sean Spicer took the media to task for trying to downplay attendance figures. But to say — as CNN’s Anderson Cooper did — that crowd size was Trump’s focus on his first day in office is simply absurd. On Cooper’s program Saturday, CNN played a clip of Spicer’s first press conference that only mentioned the crowd size issue — leaving out Spicer’s preceding comments taking a journalist to task for reporting, falsely, that Trump had a bust of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. removed from the Oval Office. The crowd issue was secondary — but CNN chose to focus on it because it was less of a slam-dunk against the media than the bust. Whatever the numbers on Inauguration Day, Spicer’s point was that the media were more interesting in undermining Trump, and promoting anti-Trump protests, than in covering the actual news of the day.
