Trump And The Truth

[sp1814]

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?

Oh that explanes it khandro.do you believe that bull****?

Whoever this argument comes from it’s a ridiculous one because it’s an illogical comparison. The simple fact is DC voted overwhelmingly for Clinton and therefore the majority of the electorate residing in that area will have stayed away. No one can say with any certainty which pictures were taken when, but having watched the inauguration live on television, it looked pretty well attended to me.

naomi; Posting at 4:28 am! are you becoming an insomniac? :0)

Haha! First time ever! A cup of coffee and a little venture into the weird world of the AnswerBank soon helped me back to sleep. ;o)

But possibly he is inculding those who were protesting against hie election rather than celebrating?

[naomi24]

It doesn't really matter who he is including. It's a stupid and pointless argument.

[Samuraisan]

It didn't take him long to start throwing his toys out of his pram. I would have thought he would have more serious things for his staff to do than try to prove he got the most marbles.

TTT 'Hilary lost get over it' You still just don't see it do you?
This is nothing to do with the actual election , it is about the elected President of the USA instructing his spokesmen/women to put out stories that are not only untrue but can very easily be proved to be untrue. He is also suggesting that news media that refuse to accept his 'truth' without question will not be allowed to attend press conferences in future. He seems to want to invite only his own selected media who will simply report what he tells them as the truth without question. He is taking a lead from his mate Putin here and censoring anyone who does not accept his own version of events.

Yes they can.

The cameras which took the two pictures were time-stamped.

[naomi24]

I can't see a timestamp on those pictures. Where should I look?

[Khandro]

Who ever bothers to go into the two sub-sections of the News section?

Politics ??????

Current Affairs ?????

Surely they are each covered by the News?

[ichkeria]

He's not doing much to allay the fears many had about press freedom should he come to power. It's as if he's been taking lessons for the leader of the nation with the best *** in the world ;-)

[ichkeria]

Prostitutes? Can I say that?

[Khandro]

sp; We're still waiting for your "time-stamped" pics, midday local time would be a good one please.
