Trump Slams Media for Claiming He Did Not Have a Big Inauguration Crowd

‘Those pictures were taken hours before’

EXCERPT: 

 

TRUMP: “And they show — they showed from the White House all the way down, they showed there were people, nobody has ever seen it. The Capitol down to the Washington Monument, people. I saw pictures that there were no people! Those pictures were taken hours before. Right? And they always mention crowd size. He talks about crowd size. So I’m constantly bugging Mercedes whenever we have a slow moment. I say Mercedes and Sarah, show them the pictures! Show them and compare them with what they put on television. Those pictures were taken hours before, and remember this also, not that Obama would ever do this, but we had fencing all the way down to the Washington Monument. And it was raining. And it was wet and the grass was wet. And women and men, and I consider them totally equal so I will not say — in fact probably the men I know, it’s actually easier for the women to make the walk, right? But they had to walk all the way down, they had to walk with high heels in many cases. They had to walk all the way down to the Washington Monument and then back. And I looked and I made a speech and I said before I got on, I said to the people that were sitting next to me, I’ve never seen anything like this. Look at that crowd. And it was wide! Wide! We had a crowd, I've never seen anything like it. And I have to live, I have to live with crowd size, it's all a phony deal, folks. But I saw a picture just the other night of practically no people! It was taken hours before our great day. That was a great day for us. That was a great, great day. People came from all over.”
