Donald Trump ordered the National Park Service director to produce additional photographs of his inauguration crowds, believing the images “might prove that the media had lied” about the size of the audience, according to the Washington Post. Aerial photos showed that Trump had a smaller crowd than Obama, and the Women’s March protests on Saturday also clearly attracted a larger group. The Department of the Interior’s social media privileges were also briefly suspended after the NPS retweet, which the agency later deleted before issuing a short apology. The climate change social media campaign appeared to spread on Wednesday when Death Valley, Golden Gate and Redwood national parks all published tweets that appeared to be defying Trump’s agenda. He takes action and gets things done.”On Saturday, Trump also gave a controversial speech at a CIA memorial, in which he talked about the size of his inauguration crowd and slammed the “dishonest” media.
