So I see two possibilities. First the not so funny one.
1. Trump’s you know what really is so small that being sworn in as the President simply isn’t enough, even though he is now the leader of a major superpower, his ego is so fragile that he actually can’t resist getting into a pissing match over any comment implying whether his crowd was bigger than the first ever African American President.
2. Trump baited the media and really is positioning the media as biased and combative.
Now while I’m a bit stunned at the audacity of the press conferences and distorted view, I also see a rather petty media playing too.
From VOX
[quote] “I turn on one of the networks, and they show an empty field,” Trump said at a speech Saturday afternoon at the CIA. “I’m like, wait a minute. I made a speech. I looked out, the field was, it looked like a million, million and a half people.”
The unnamed television network, he noted, estimated a turnout of 250,000 people — a figure he argued was way too low.
“Now, that’s not bad. But it’s a lie,” he said. “We had 250,000 people literally around in the little ball we constructed.” In other words, 250,000 people had been given tickets to the swearing-in ceremony, which is what the Joint Congressional Committee for Inaugural Ceremonies told CNN.[/quote]
To which VOX also shows Trump’s view
So is my real choice I get to decide if I’m gaslighted by the Trump organization or get gaslighted by the media?
