There appeared to be much more open space Friday on the National Mall for Donald Trump’s inauguration compared to Barack Obama’s in 2009, according to aerial photos.
MSNBC on Friday showed a side-by-side comparison of the crowds:
Though it’s not an exact measure of attendance, the Washington metro system reported that 193,000 metro rides had been recorded by 11 a.m. ET on Friday, versus 513,000 by that time during Obama’s 2009 inauguration and 317,000 during his 2013 inauguration.
Metro Ridership: As of 11am, 193k trips taken so far today. (11am 1/20/13 = 317k, 11am 1/20/09 = 513k, 11am 1/20/05 = 197k) #wmata

The photos are rigged.
Very dishonest people, the media, liars who dwell only on the truth… instead of our great 46% movement of grudging Trump voters.
This was the greatest inauguration ever, beating the record attendance established by Herbert Hoover.
