At this point even George Bush Senior will have had a larger turnout in 89.
Trumps team was talking upto 800,000 people while Trump in usual bullshit mode was talking potential record setting crowds etc.

I think a lot of the paid protestors blocked the entrances to get into the area.

Many people who voted for Trump don't like him, and simply voted for him because the attacks on Hillary worked, and it's VERY difficult for one party to win three presidential elections in a row because people want to give the other party a shot
Yup and as you know the Trump supporters were on their lunch break so ran out of time and had to get back to work. Sad!
Hey, if trump can take a weekend off from his job in the highest office in america, surely his supporters can too!
Heh...
....BBC...
I feel like Dem voters don't vote but show up at stuff, Republican voters vote but never really show.

Trump's hands really are tiny.

We need pictures from 2005, 2001, 1997, 1993 first. It's quite possible the high turnout is because he was literally the first black president.

Wouldn't population demographics play a role?

Bill got 800k in '93, which is less than half than Obama but still over 3 times greater than Trump.
Someone should photoshop in the Forza crowd

Here's another interesting one for the farewell
At least 500K people would have gone to bernie's inaguration if he became president.
I was at Obamas. It was the most people Ive ever been around. I couldnt get anywhere close to the podium but they had it up on big screens for the rest of us plebs. I was able to weasel my way up to the start parade route though and got to shake Jimmy Carters hand.
Ill never forget it. Meanwhile this feeling today is the polar opposite. I just dont know what to expect.

Quite Sad! turnout. 3 years and several months until the next candidates announce their go at the presidency.

just hearing about the "Forza crowd" makes me chuckle
Nah, it's 2 years and 10 months or so in all likeness.
The two bushes still got better turnout at their inagurations then trump despite losing DC by a landslide in their elections.

Losers are trying to persuade folks with this image to say Donald Trump had a great turnout:
I had friends who blocked the entrances. They were not paid.
He had the same turnout as bush. Which is pretty normal for a republican in DC.Losers are trying to persuade folks with this image to say Donald Trump had a great turnout:
Really this whole thing is petty, like making fun of hillarys rally number petty.
Well, actually, his turnout is slightly lower than Bush's SECOND inauguration. You know, the one after he started a war the public hated him for.
And he still had slightly more numbers than Trump.
I mean, it doesn't matter, you are right. Just saying. This is not "normal" numbers for a first inauguration.
directly in front of the white house
hahahhahahaa
"We couldn't go, we have jobs"
The difference is that Bush wasn't bragging on twitter on how high his numbers were going to be.
Bush's two inagurations were above trump's sole inaguration.
400K second term. Trump couldn't even beat that. SAD!

probably cause most trump fans are far away from D.C.
As I said in the other thread, a quick Google search reveals that a Republican isn't more likely to have a job than a Democrat.

They need to thank Obama for creating it.
Climate change is real, but this type of rationale is about on par with disproving climate change with a snowball on the senate floor.

I mean, the GOP is largely supported by people who are 55+. Not really the types to go out to crowded public events. This whole thing just seems kinda disingenuous in terms of showing how much support Trump does or doesn't have. His approval rating is a lot more damning.
