Richard, people from ALL over the country came to Obama's inauguration, not just blacks living in DC. The fact that Obama won a second term and left office with a 60% approval rating is an indication of how good a president he was.  Trump is off to a very bad start with only 40% approval, no other president has come into office with numbers so low. We'll see if he even finishes his first term, let alone gets a second.

Not only does he lie, but his press secretary and all the sycophants surrounding him do too. This morning on Meet the Press, Kellyanne Conway tried to spin the low inauguration turnout, by saying the Trump administration has "alternative facts."  Chuck Todd was having none of it saying, 

"Alternative facts are not facts. They are falsehoods."
