Putting on my Remote Sensing hat: That low oblique perspective makes it awfully hard to accurately analyze anything. Basically, density can look greater than it really is because of foreshortening. If you have a higher resolution shot then I might be able to tease out the crowds farthest away from the lectern.
Do you have any pictures from the same or similar vantage point that I posted and said weren't honest that shows a larger crowd? I'm looking and not finding any.
I can still see "white space" behind the closest knot of people on the other side of the river, beyond that it's very difficult to tell. There might be a few more people, but timestamps would be the only way to know for sure how it compares to the high oblique images that got circulated.
Like I said, I'm not saying he had the biggest crowd ever. But it's not what the media is saying it was, by a LOT.
Really? All the way to the Washington monument? You sure about that? Where exactly do you think the pictures I've been posting were taken from?
Honestly, I don't even care that much about the crowd thing, it's the reaction afterward, and the assertion to begin with that it was "the biggest evah!"
I agree on that. Trump is acting like he has to justify his legitimacy, for no good reason. He won, he's sworn in. Newsweek, not Breitbart: http://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-versus-media-548562
During. See the video monitors on the right? That's why the crowd is gathered to the right at each video monitor. So they can see what is happening live during the event.
It's the same shit with the accusation about millions of illegals voting in California. I want to see some evidence. If it's true then that would be the biggest conspiracy to commit fraud in U.S. history. The only difference being, that opposed to claims about the size of an audience, there is a real potential harm to be done to the faith in our institutions, by making careless accusations.
