*#Alternative Facts – the background:
After Donald Trump was inaugurated as President on January 20th 2017, countless media outlets compared the turnout at the event with that of Barack Obama’s inauguration eight years earlier, using images such as the following as evidence:
Two days later, the White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer vehemently dismissed the published estimates and the self-explanatory photos and insisted that the turnout at Trump’s inauguration was the biggest ever. According to Spicer:
