Looks like all he did was crop out the edges. This is a non-story, especially when you consider the cropped photo is the one that's used in the infamous comparison shot with the Obama inauguration.
The Guardian: Trump inauguration crowd photos were edited after he intervened
- Thread starter Christian
- Start date
Not really. Especially when you have officials actually involved with this. And its documented.
Maybe about the part where it says he intervened.
But the question remains....why not just go with the orig photo....
And what made him accept this altered one and go with biggest inauguration crowd ever.
Someone knew and lied. That Trump was upset about the orig photo, accepted the altered one and went with the biggest inauguration crowd ever says something.
That he saw the orig photo, and was upset comparing it to Obama's, he's not completely off the hook on this.
The story, IMO, is that Trump personally asked for the photos to be cropped so that he could more easily lie to people about it.
I'm not saying they're off the hook, they lied about it and we all know this.
I'm just saying read the article because the title is not accurate.
I agree.
Right now it's the people from National Park Services word vs. Trump and WH staff word. Right now...that doesn't favor Trump n Co. Once Trump made the call and didn't like the photos, that's what got the ball rolling.
In the end, he shouldn't have worried about it. This also shows again just how obsessed he is with Obama.
I keep waiting for myself to stop being embarrassed and surprised by how ignorant and petty Trump is but it just keeps happening.
There really is no other way to explain his behavior.
Lol, one of the first things the President of the United States personally saw to was the editing of a photograph to comfort his damaged ego, and you think this is a "non-story"?
Cropping is an intentional edit of a photo that requires no editing
They cropped a photo and claimed it was the largest inauguration ever. Yeah in the grand scheme of things it's a non-story because of this absurd fucking administration but people should be made aware.
Who is going to ask Sean Spicer about this? Remember his unhinged press conference on inauguration crowd sizes?

Yes. They are trying to turn a small story into a big one. This is a small, small story for Trump.
Judging from some people's initial takeaways, the article title implied much more involved editing than cropping.
They should've gone all out and put in Frederick Douglas in to the crowd.

How can ppl see this and think...non story.
They straight up knew, and lied. And defended the hell out of this lie.
This entire clip is amazing looking back in hindsight. Damn...
No kidding, I was floored when that happened. When the statement to be made was some petty shit about how big the crowds are.
God, fuck this guy. This country has failed if it doesn't clean up its own loose turd.
Not surprising at all, but should we really even be giving the time of day to this dickhead's incessant focus on his own ego? Shouldn't we be focused on his literal crimes against his own country and against humanity?
Actually... Yeah on second thought let's keep damaging that ego. I want to see him suffer.

Just the way he used to talk about it, you could tell he was going to do this.
Trump hates Obama, it's been known and his term as president has had a lot to do with trying to kill his legacy
I have to hope that someday soon Trump is under oath and every stupid meaningless thing he's lied about gets brought up against him.
