I have completed exhaustive analysis of the disputed Trump crowd shot and the CNN gigapixel crowd shot. As much as it pains me to say, the two images match quite well and the disputed crowd shot is legitimate and represents the actual crowd size. There was no deception on the part of the media.
I have four decades of experience as an advertising photographer. I am qualified to make this kind of analysis.
As a Trump supporter and voter I think it does us a great disservice to not deal honestly with issues such as these. In this case even the President and his staff have it wrong, and it hurts all of us.
Actually 40 minutes before Trump was sworn in at 12:01.
Excellent pictures from the inauguration.
Great detective work, Concern Troll!!!
Adios!
Psssttt.... what we’re doing is distracting the Left with silly attendance jousts while we bury their work of the last 8 years.
Great pix!
Thx for posting
Unless you have a time stamp, it cant be proved. And I accept you have some skill at counting crowds. The time stamp I came up with was 11:20 am for the picture being circulated.
In before the Zot!

I see you are gone, and you’re not too smart.
That was fast...
This reads like something Chuck Todd would post.
The original NYT crowd comapision tweet that set this whole thing off was at 11:20 I think and appeared on my Facebook feed at 11:40 well before the swearing in. No doubt “smaller” that 2009 which was historic for obvious reasons but not “small.” Tom Barrack, head of the Inaugural Committee, estimated 1.5 million within visual and hearing range. What is your estimate?

Nope. You were in after the zot. Sorry
yea sure. liar or blind take your pic.. see the other pics of the back area that were posted above. The crowd is all the way back to the monument unlike the one the media ran with all day of the inauguration taken earlier on.
Bye-Bye
I doubt Trump would have near as many people attend as Obama. Not near as Republicans on the Eastern seaboard. Don’t know why the administration made it such a big deal.
