Trump Mocks Women’s March, Brags About TV Ratings That Were Below Obama’s

On 2nd Day In Office, President Still Obsessing Over Crowd Sizes

President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Sunday to respond to the Women’s March, which drew an estimated 500,000 protesters to Washington, dwarfing his inauguration.

“Watched protests yesterday but was under the impression that we just had an election! Why didn’t these people vote? Celebs hurt cause badly,” Trump wrote.  

The Women’s March was the largest inauguration-related demonstration in US history, and drew millions to solidarity events around the world.  

Trump also boasted about TV ratings for Friday’s inauguration.  

“Wow, television ratings just out: 31 million people watched the Inauguration, 11 million more than the very good ratings from 4 years ago!” he wrote. 

What Trump failed to mention is that Obama’s first inauguration in 2009 was watched by nearly 38 million people, according to Reuters.  

Finally, Trump reflected on his visit to CIA headquarters on Saturday, where he stood on hallowed ground before the agency’s Memorial Wall and delivered what amounted to a vindictive campaign speech. 

“Had a great meeting at CIA Headquarters yesterday, packed house, paid great respect to Wall, long standing ovations, amazing people. WIN!” he wrote. 

Although Trump claims the visit was successful, former CIA Director John Brennan disagreed.

“Former CIA Director Brennan is deeply saddened and angered at Donald Trump’s despicable display of self-aggrandizement in front of CIA’s Memorial Wall of Agency heroes,” Brennan’s former deputy chief of staff, Nick Shapiro, said in a statement. “Brennan says that Trump should be ashamed of himself.”
