The Crowd size issue is a solid media deflection.

They are learning to fight back at Trump's game. Getting him distracted on what is literally a complete non-issue. This debate will carry into Monday, and I assume they hope it will distract him long enough that they can hammer him on not doing all of his day one promises.

Sly, but probably effective unless Trump's handlers can get him back on track.

I don't know a single person who actually cares about crowd size or viewers. Sure, a lot of people like bashing the media, but at the end of the day, bashing the media doesn't get anything done.

It keeps them from having to report Obama bombed ISIL the day before he left office.

Because people on the Left do care about that shite. They think it matters.

The only people who made this an issue is Trumps kind. A picture was posted contrasting the previous inauguration and the right lost their collective shite.

They did. Fact.

Jesus, just let it go. You favor a loser and America doesn't give a frick about him or your temper tantrums. But keep crying. It won't end with his small crowd.

You have it backwards....Btw, do you think Trump will use a red or blue pen tomorrow to wipeout Obama's Executive orders ?

You've met someone in real life, not on twitter or facebook, who cares how big the crowds were?

You don't seriously believe he is spending today thinking about this do you? If so you haven't paid attention to this mans work ethic in the least bit.

Blue ink, Black pen body.

Do you assume I'm an Obama fan because I comment on Trumps tendency to get distracted?

The inferiority complex with this board is very clear. You did it with Clinton Rallies, too. You must have validation that A LOT of people like the person you picked. Bc if not, you know you picked a loser and then you are faced with the fact that your values are for shite.

And they are.

It would be a non story if Trump wouldn't have sent Spicer out to do a Baghdad Bob impression and give a bunch of "alternative facts" that turned out to be BS.

He needs thicker skin.

Came up in his speech yesterday and his tweets this morning.

I hope I'm wrong and the media is the only one trying to sell this story.

Hillary Clinton lost the election. In what way is Trump a loser? Are you comparing yourself to Trump?

You got it backwards. Trump knows that theyre so superficial, that hes about to get people confirmed and EOs issued, without them raising sand

Trump has a litany of EO's set to devastate Obama's programs as early as Monday. Trump may be deliberately diverting attention. The press may be going for it. But the reverse is not the case.

If there is an ulterior motive involved, my suspicion is it is a "rope-a-dope" tactic designed to fatigue and discredit Press criticism so that when it really matters, Trump can walk right over them.

I want this to be so true. Maybe hes even got me fooled playing an easily offended guy, just so the media focuses on nonsense while he takes care of business.

That was a real low point. I'm holding out hope that was some middle person's idea and Trump will fire Spicer like this week.

I honestly don't see how either of these points is disputable. I've never seen people bitch so much after a month of ostensible triumphs. They even have clowns and propagandists to teach them how to celebrate and whom to ignore. And memes. Lots of memes.

This is what George Will and Mitt Romney and Graham and McCain didn't want any part of.

Nobody cares about the crowd size. They do care about the PS holding a press conference to lie and be a mouthpiece for Trump's insecurities though.

If they haven't seen that yet, they never will.
