Putin Helps Trump Bring Up His Numbers

Two months after Donald Trump's inauguration, he still talked about the number of people who attended his ceremony. The day after the inauguration, his press secretary, Sean Spicer said: "Photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way...to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall. That was the largest audience to witness an inauguration, period. Both in person and around the globe."

Why is Trump still talking about this? And, why are we still talking about it? In March 2017, the National Park Service finally released the aerial photographs they took of the National Mall just before the event, comparing them to Barack Obama's first swearing in eight years before. These are the same photos they sent to Trump when he first made his allegations. Donald Trump likes to boast. Everything's "the greatest, the best, the largest." Perhaps, he needs Vladimir Putin's help with his numbers.
