Trump NEVER claimed he had the largest crowd in history at his 1st Inauguration. PROVE ME WRONG.

I got sick of hearing this lie for the last 8 years and I'm sure it will be repeated over and over as we near his 2nd inauguration. So, for all of you that bought the lie, again I challenge you to show me direct evidence not others talking about it even if it's Trumps best buddy. Show me Trump saying it. Before you submit your proof you should double check what you are posting to be sure Trump says that the crowd size was the largest ever or in history. I hope you can prove me wrong
 
Who gives a ****?
 
His press secretary claimed the Trump's crowd was the largest ever to witness an inauguration in the history of the world. It wasn't and Obama's crowd was far bigger. A President's press secretary speaks for the President and relays his opinions.

Spicer, Jan. 21: Secondly, photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way, in one particular tweet, to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall. … We know that from the platform where the President was sworn in, to 4th Street, it holds about 250,000 people. From 4th Street to the media tent is about another 220,000. And from the media tent to the Washington Monument, another 250,000 people. All of this space was full when the President took the Oath of Office. We know that 420,000 people used the D.C. Metro public transit yesterday, which actually compares to 317,000 that used it for President Obama’s last inaugural. This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe.

And Trump claimed more people saw his inauguration speech than any other in history.

But neither of these meet the criteria tobyone has set out and has put him in an 8 year snit.
 
When did Trump say it?

You can't because he never said it

So you're in an 8 year snit about Trump being credited with something his spokesperson said and is very much like what he himself did say?

Wow!
 


Really?

A whole thread on what happened EIGHT years ago?

Crowd size, penis size Trump's....... will always be the 'bigliest in human history!"


But seriously, a whole ****ing thread on crowd size? From eight years ago?

Thin skin is a disease.

Get over it.

Media outlets like CNN, The New York Times, The Guardian, Vox, FactCheck.org, Politifact, The Atlantic, BBC News, NPR, Fox News, NBC News, and ABC News all published reports, fact-checks, or analyses debunking Trump's and Spicer's claims about the inauguration crowd size. Those are just a few, it was a mantra for years and will be again shortly.
 
Isn’t Trump’s style to normally lie by doing the ***** “that’s what I heard” or “people are saying” schtick instead of owning the horseshit he spews?
 
Just bored and sadly this is fun for me. It matters about as much as a frogs ass
 
Ah, another gaslighting thread. Sean Spicer, his WH mouthpiece said it so it doesn't count? How charming <smh>.

He also claimed at the CIA it wasn't raining.
 
The phrase 'beam me up Scotty' can't be found.
Cary Grant never said, "Judy, Judy, Judy'. Only those imitating him did.
Marie Antoinette never said., " Let them eat cake" but she might as well have.

You got sick of hearing this lie? You must be downright glued to your sick bed from hearing all of *Rump's lies. It's going to be a long 4 years for you.

You are correct about not meeting criteria I set but wrong about the 8 year snit, far from it. Trump was definitely correct about the largest audience in history when all of the ways to watch, which many did not exist in previous inaugurations. Words mean things

So did he say it, or not? And those other ways to watch didn't exist when, say, Obama was inaugurated?
