Trump claims largest ever crowd for inaugeration

This is worrying isn't it!

Not really.

The actual thing done isn't worrying, I agree. It's just the idea that the very first time that this President sends his White House Spox out, it is to tell an easily provable lie. That is worrisome, because if Trump's ego is so fragile that internet memes and crowd statistics are on his radar for things to respond to, we might be in trouble.

We have a psychotic in the white house with his finger on the nuclear trigger.

"Worrying" doesn't begin to cover it.

It won't be just 4 years.  The trend has been gethering strength in right wing circles since the 1980s, and has burst onto mainstream political discourse and grew from there since 1994.

Even if the unlikely event were to transpire where trump would be undone by the "alternative facts", the odious practice of this administration would nonetheless further increase the perception of general acceptability and efficacy of contempt for facts in competition within the grotesquely debased America politics.   If trump puts 2 right wing justices into the Supreme Court before his demise, then no matter what the manner of his demise, absolute and overt contempt for facts would remain the default and probably only political strategy for the next 50 years.   Why should facts matter if the purpose of pursuing politics is not the furtherance of public good?

Also love how Conway tried wiggle out by saying they couldn't know the numbers either way you morons brought it up ! proof the trump administration is all about trumps ego.

And yes trump approved the secretaries statement or took no pains to review his statement before bringing it to the press. When your the boss you wear the mistakes of subordinates .Passing the buck or even worst making excuses like "alternate facts" just proves even more to me this fool is not up to the job.

This is not a dick-measuring game. It doesn't matter who had more people. That is not of any consequence.

He scares the shit out of me for so many reasons. And I am pissed as hell that Americans voted for this douchebag.
