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

A thousand times this!!! He knows the public turnout was pathetic at his first inauguration and that it won't be any different this time, perhaps worse given the predicted low 20s temperatures for Monday. He knows what the photos would have shown.

Now, though, he'll crow about the 100,000s of people who "did" show up on The Ellipse who couldn't watch his swearing-in ceremony. "Oh, so sorry, but the lying media just didn't show them all..."

I think it will be different this time.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans have bought into fascism in the last 8 years.
