Remember Boss Hogg’s first inauguration, when he was SO about the crowd size, and sent his people out to LIE about it, even though we could all see the pictures, and the TRUTH?
A foreshadowing of the BULLSHIT to come…
Trump’s last inauguration was marred by his meltdown over crowd size; he called the National Park Service director the next day to press him to produce additional photographs of the crowds on the Mall after the agency shared photographs showing that Obama had a much larger crowd at his inaugural than Trump did. The one-day-old president also sent out his White House spokesman, Sean Spicer, to bluster falsely about how Trump’s crowd was the largest ever to witness an inauguration.
That set the tone for the highchair king’s first term: Reality must take a back seat to ego stroking — or else.
