      There is one way in which the "how big was the crowd" flap is, in fact, unfair to POTUS. /1

      2009 was inauguration of 1st African-American POTUS in a city with high AA pop in an area surrounded by states that mostly supported him. /2

      But for WH to then make 1st presser a statement about crowd size is just asking for an unwinnable controversy, imo. /3

      I guess just don't see the point of acting like an embattled insurgent when you've won WH and Congress. /4x

          Because Trump's fuel is adoration and anything less must be combated.

          Come on, trump is narcissism personified, he will broach no criticism. This is only day 2, it gets worse.

          Because an insecure grown man with the temperament of a toddler is now in charge and no one can reason with him.

          the authoritarian point is: media must agree with this falsehood to maintain access. if they accede, they are useful idiots

          Maybe it’s to burn a few news cycles to avoid having to address more important things.

          point is crowd size and tv ratings are his big triggers. Say his health care ideas stink he doesn't care. Low numbers though..

          Exactly, @3fecta. Trump gets triggered by things other people wouldn't give a damn about. @RadioFreeTom

          Because he has to be smarter, more popular, stronger etc in his mind. Not good qualities for a leader.
