Trump estimated that the crowds at his inauguration were between 1,000,000 and 1,500,000 - in an area that holds a maximum of 720,000.

What do you think, looking at the picture in the report?

It is not about crowd numbers as such but the reporting of the numbers based upon photographs taken at the time. No-one cares about the colour of Trump's tie but if photos show it is red and his team insists it is blue and everyone else is a liar, questions would be asked.

Yes...the photo at the Trump inauguration was taken at 11:04 and Obama's was at 11:30;.

It was not being side tracked as you incorrectly suggested, it was a perfectly legitimate reason for a greater crowd at one event compared to another, and isn't it crowd numbers that are under discussion?

It's very much sidetracking.

The question is not whether the crowd for Obama was larger. It was *obviously* larger. The question is not *why* it was larger either.

The question is why the Trump team are claiming that *his* inauguration crowd was 'the largest ever', when it clearly isn't the case.

...and why his administration are attacking the press when we can see the evidence for ourselves.
It all sounds a bit like 1984 (and I am not talking about the day Reagan was re-elected).
You'll recall what O'Brien says to Winston, if you've read the book ....

jno - you were a very close second because of the link to the Doonesbury cartoon you posted at 10:33am.

And are not sorority princesses female.

Why do you find the continuous need to question only my literacy, why not set yourself up and become AB's literacy expert by taking the time to go through all posts?

Then I am sure we will all benefit from your own self–perception (includes hyphen) of superiority.

Criticise them if you must, that is only normal, but what is not normal, is this childish continuing mob like hounding.

Take cassa333's 10.33 post for a perfect example of the rather silly and rather childish posts that we now come to expect.

cassa333 has not posted on this thread. jno posted the link to the Doonsebury cartoon at 10:33

The cartoon is very apt in the context of this discussion.

You were the one who brought race into the thread, when you stated wrote:

It is obvious that there would be more blacks attending Obama's inauguration.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'mob like hounding'. It's a discussion on Trump (and his team's) spinning.

I know where the Left are concerned, democracy is very much in short supply, but please in my continuous quest for a level playing field, let us at least show a little democracy here.

The Right's vote for 'Best Answer' goes to,

At least try and keep up, this is your thread after all.

Here is the thread that I was referring to:

cassa333
Give the little boy a chance people.

How often do little boys, and especially adolescent boys, who don't know how to change troll themselves get into a bit of a muddle while they figure out their place in the world?

Baby Trump is just finding his feet and will hopefully get a bit of a trouncing soon that will help him grow up.

The poor little love has the hide of a butterfly wing But when he realises the school playground is long past him he will have to act like the grown up he should be.

Either that or 'something' will happen to him !!

/// You were the one who brought race into the thread, when you stated wrote: ///

That may well be, but since you compared Obama's inauguration crowds to Trump's crowds, wasn't I in order to make a perfectly reasonable suggestion why that may well be?

Seeing of course that Obama and his followers prefer for him to be classed as black, even though that is not quite right.
Harping on about race!

/// AOG.. It's not you're thread, sp decides who gets BA . he made the right decision ///

No one says he doesn't, seeing that he being the OP is the only one who gets the right to press the button.

I was just entering the Right's choice.

It's called a democratic vote.

Oh dear, I have brought that word democratic in again, perhaps one day the Left will come to understand what it really means, but I won't be holding my breath.
you democratically decided by yourself did you AOG?
There's an oxymoron if ever I heard it 'democratic right'

Thank you for the clarification on cassa333's. I looked at the time you referred to (10:33), but didn't scan down.

You brought race into this thread.

This thread is not about race.

This thread is not about why Obama's attendance was greater - and thank you for giving us a reason...it's about the Trump team's assertion that he had the larger turnout.
