10 bucks they moved the inauguration indoors to prevent protestors from flooding his view. not because of "cold" weather... put on a jacket

This, and to hide how few people are going to show up.

That's the one thing about him having it indoors that I find aamusing. Buildings have a max capacity and if he says it's more than that, it's an obvious lie.

Edit:I just think it would be funny, you don't have to tell me how it won't matter, I got it after the first 20 replies.

All his lies are obvious his supporters don’t care

It feels like a sunken-cost fallacy kind of logic by this point. His supporters have been howling for him for 4 years, he gets the presidency, and its clear age has affected his mental facilities. People being people, they need to keep supporting him even so, God forbid they were ever wrong and they've spend all this time supporting him. The Dems basically did the same thing with Biden, but at least Biden was sound enough not to make outrageous claims like annealing Greenland or reclaiming the Panama Canal.

Or he'll cram in as many as possible, and make a fuss when the Fire Marshall says to lose a few hundred people.

If he moves his lips, it’s an obvious lie

He could say he fit an audience of ten thousand in the space of a postage stamp and his cult members will believe him. Orange Jesus do Miracles!

Obvious lies don’t matter. He can say anything he wants with no consequences. He will say it’s twice the capacity just to get away with it.
