Quote:"We" are not all over it.  It was TRUMP who was all over it.   He's the one who sent out his spokesperson to lie about the facts and defend the size of his crowd. 

 

"We" don't give a crap about the size of Trump's crowds.  It's TRUMP who raised a stink about it.  If he had not sent out his spokesperson to rant about the issue, no one would even remember who had a bigger crowd.   Because no one cares, except Donald Trump. 

 

The issue is that we have a President who is so thin-skinned that he sees every fact that goes against him as the product of a conspiracy get him.  

 

It wasn't Trump who made a stink about it. Was the networks and the twitter-bots who made this irrelevant issue even relevant. Again, they were desperate for any way to disparage Trump, and they did so by headlining and trending this pointless story all weekend. Trump sent his spox out to correct the record and call out dishonest journalism. It wasn't even specifically about this single incident, like Spicer said. It was about a collection of incidents where the major networks are simply out to besmirch Trump instead of just reporting honestly and fairly.

 

Spicer said himself that both in-person and around the world it was the most watched inauguration, and he may be right. I had never even considered watching an inauguration in the past, and neither my family. Yet we all gladly watched it this time around. Also, I streamed it. Streaming media is massive compared to when all previous inaugurations were held. Calculating everybody who streamed (both nationally and internationally) it along with television ratings, I can almost assuredly say it was the most watched inauguration of all time.
