I now understand what I've been hearing lately about Trump being all "id."

He's losing his goddamn mind over the low inauguration attendance and losing the popular vote. He demanded that the director of the National Park Service provide him with more images to prove that his inauguration had more people in it in order to "prove" that the media lied.

On the morning after Donald Trump’s inauguration, acting National Park Service director Michael T. Reynolds received an extraordinary summons: The new president wanted to talk to him.


In a Saturday phone call, Trump personally ordered Reynolds to produce additional photographs of the previous day’s crowds on the National Mall, according to three individuals who have knowledge of the conversation. The president believed that they might prove that the media had lied in reporting that attendance had been no better than average.


Trump also expressed anger over a retweet sent from the agency’s account, in which side-by-side photographs showed far fewer people at his swearing-in than had shown up to see Barack Obama’s inaugural in 2009.

It would be nice if most media outlets could report on Trump without their editorial biases on display. It would be nice if Trump would shut up and allow trivial matters go. Neither side seems willing to do this so we will Ser more of this over the coming years.


Both sides need to remember the public should come first not advancing petty egos
 
This pic should help him.

Trump doesn't appear able to let trivial matters go. He's losing his mind over the fact that not everybody loves him. My pet theory is that gutting NPR, PBS and the NEA were revenge for the largest protest in American history against him.

Trump was triggered by the crowd. The presidency is not really a job for a special snowflake...

We didn't get just a new president, but a new country: The United States of Trump, Inc.

Republicans in Congress have the most chapped lips and brown noses in US history.

I really hate that Trump is president, but revealing how so many Republicans are just weak ass kissers, posing as strong men, is a sweet irony.

Ok. That is obviously unfair and in bad taste. But it is still funny as hell. :)

I thought the same thing, but could not get the smile off my face, yeup still there.:mrgreen:
 
It's being tweeted from inside the White House that Trump is asking around for people with Photoshop skills. Says the inauguration photos need to be "touched up."

I think we're all about to see a full crowd at the inauguration rather soon.
