Meanwhile Obama on January 20, 2009

Comments

Thousands of people are now fleeing the DC region ahead of the Turnip Inauguration. Looks like a Godzilla movie. People screaming and running terrified for their lives.

They are afraid that no one will show up for the event. Not because of the cold...just because.

And he had a huge turnout, much bigger than Trump’s 1st one, despite the cold.

Trumps a rapist traitor who's afraid of the cold. Sad.

ameyumi.bsky.social•105 days ago

That was the coldest I’ve ever been, but it was so worth it!
(Also, restrooms were impossible to get to!)

It's so he can say this inauguration had the highest TV ratings and streams of any other inauguration.

Some people have enough crowd to offset the shrinkage from the cold weather.

I was on the Mall that day, for hours and hours. And so I am calling these guys a bunch of pussies.

Right before bailing out Wall Street with our money and allowing many thousands of families to lose their homes and life savings.

First rule of event optics-
When the crowd is tiny, shrink the room.

I volunteered on the National Mall for Obama’s first inauguration. It was freezing. We had to arrive by 6 am and most of us didn’t get indoors again for 8 hours. Trump is a wuss.
