Maybe because 1: Trump supporters had to work. 2: they couldn’t take off to go see it. And 3: Maybe they don’t got no money cause trump supporters have to put food on their kids tables instead of going out 😲😲😲😲
The inauguration is a federdal holiday in dc.
Is your argument really going to be that the 1.8 million people who saw obama get inaugurated were all umeployed rich people? Because that is an impressive level of delusion.
Cheeto in cheif has rock bottom approval ratings and lost the popular vote. Suck it up. Your grand cheese-puffiness is a loser.
How about y'all be quiet and realize that it’s the media screwing us over with this. That picture of barely anybody showing up at the inauguration? It didn’t even start yet. The hacking with Russia? Fake. God.
When I went to Obama’s inauguration in 2009, my school group left the hotel at 6 in the morning. We got through all the security check points and found a place to stand by 7am. The inauguration wasn’t supposed to begin until 10, but by the time we got there, the mall was so full, we were back by the 4th Jumbo-tron screen. Hundreds of thousands of people had already arrived BEFORE DAWN. It was bitterly cold. 28 degrees, but with a wind chill in the teens. I was so damn happy when the sun rose so at least the air would warm up a little. My group of high school friends, all Texans born and raised, were bundled up, huddled together, trying to pass the time, so excited, but also very cold. One of the girls in my class forgot to bring her gloves. She was so sure she was going to get frostbite.
I remember how the ceremony ran long, how Obama finally took the oath just a little after noon. I remember glancing over at my teacher’s face, this lovely woman named Mrs. Simmons, who had organized this trip for us. I remember her crying with joy. I remember this feeling, head to toe, all over of genuine optimism for what lay before us as a country. I remember us moving to the Smithsonian after the ceremony ended, to stay warm until the crowds thinned out.
And I can tell you, that it wouldn’t have mattered if they took a shot of the mall 3, or 4 or 5 hours before Obama took the oath. I was there, and the crowd was nowhere near as pathetic as what Trump got.
And that’s the facts. Right there. These things are facts. The question is: Does the truth matter to you?
