| Trump Inauguration 2017 |
Press Secretary Spicer came out in defense of Trump and used his first press gathering to lie. He cited incorrect Metro numbers to try and claim that the crowd was larger. He gave excuses and he lied some more. I think this moment really set the tone for what we should expect. Pettiness, lies, and complaining. Grow up, Trump.
Trump started his presidency in the most Trump way possible, by lying and complaining. He thought his inauguration crowd was going to be YUGE, in fact, he said, "an unbelievable, perhaps record-setting turnout. " It wasn't. The New York Times estimated that only 160,000 people were there. A much smaller amount than the 1.8 million who showed up for Obama's first inauguration.
