Which image has more people in it?

Wasn't there some questions W/r/t what time the pictures were taken?



No. That was one of the excuses that either Spicer or Conway gave (you know, those 'alternative facts'), but the pics were both taken at the same time of day.

I didn't say anything about time because that's not what the question is. Just simply, "Which picture shows more people?"

Reuters seems to think they know something about that just because it was their photographers who took them: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-inauguration-image-idUSKBN1572VU

The thing is a little unfair. Trump's fans are the little people. They take up a little less space. Why is everyone always putting down the little people?

The CNN gigapixel photo of the Trump inauguration:
http://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2017/01/politics/trump-inauguration-gigapixel/

Scroll right to left (click and drag) until you can see down the mall to the Washington Monument.

There's sure a heck of a lot of people in that photo. Totally different from what this thread is promoting as the Trump inauguration crowd.

Would CNN post a fake gigapixel photo in favor of Trump? Nyet!

So you have to ask yourself; How do I reconcile these two views supposedly of the same thing at the same time?

Sombody's lying...

And it's all to promote the idea that the Trump presidency is illegitimate.

There sure are. There are a heck of a lot of people in all three pictures.

>Totally different from what this thread is promoting as the Trump inauguration crowd.

No one is claiming there weren't a lot of people there.

>the same thing at the same time?

?? You said it yourself - they are different views, taken 1.4 miles apart. That's why they look different. If you took a picture of it from the White House or from an airplane they would also look different.

>And it's all to promote the idea that the Trump presidency is illegitimate.

No one here is promoting the idea that the Trump presidency is illegitimate based on those pictures. What they do demonstrate is that he doesn't have a great grasp on reality.

Exactly the same as what this thread (and everyone but Trump) is promoting as the Trump inauguration crowd.

There are loads of big empty spaces in that photo, you just can't see them anywhere near as well as on the Reuters image because the photo is taken from a low angle. The people at the front of each square are blocking the clear view of the empty spaces behind them.

Don't fall into the Trump trap of not understanding perspective.

By realising that they show the same thing.

Yes, Trump, his press secretary and the rest of his team.

I do see why Trump thought he had a packed house and he's at an even lower angle than the CNN photograph. Here's the high res from Reuters. You can't make out Trump in it but you can see that everyone is there on the steps and the soldiers in the middle are at about the same location (not that they couldn't move over a 6 hour period), other things like locations where there is only one row of people in the sections is about the same.

They appear to have been taken at the same time.

I think we can figure this out. Zoom in to the screens to the left and right of the stairs, the one on the left is more clear. Who is that on the screen? It wouldn't be very difficult to figure out exactly when the picture was taken based upon what was on the screen.

It appears to be Roy Blunt, the first speaker. Pause at the 19 second mark and compare. https://www.thesun.co.uk/video/news/speech-by-senator-roy-blunt-inauguration-committee-chair/

Of all of them Roy Blunt has the closest resemblance.

Only a "Trump-like" level of perception and intellect could see more on the Trump day photo.



Did YOU see the NEW CNN photo?

I only post to yours so it is saved:o
I mean, you speaking of intellect, correct?

The one that still shows massive empty spaces in the crowd? The one that illustrates Trump is too stupid to understand perspective, and that's why he thought the whole mall was full?

Yeah, we've seen it.
