Who brought up the crowds at the inauguration first?

Did Trump try to boast about his crowds first? Or, did the media put out those comparative photos first?

Are the photos of the crowd apples to apples? Same amount of hours before the event, or same time during the event?

I heard a statistic that hundreds of thousands more used the metro on Obama’s Inauguration Day. Well, yeah, Obama supporters live in huge numbers in and around D.C. A few million people are within an hour of D.C. who might come to witness the event.

I don’t think Trump should bother to address how big the crowds were, but I also want to be able to trust the press! They are supposed to be the real check. The honest check.
