Cold weather and low turnout. It'll look more crowded indoors.
Good way to spread covid.
And there will be a million people outside for this. The largest crowd in the history of crowds. So many people, more than you can imagine. And there will be videos and pictures showing tiny, shrunken, crowds. Yet his base will call them fake.
Wasn't his last inauguration day the biggest crowd in the history of protests in the history of the United States?
Yeah. But this will be biggest, most largest, in the history of crowds. Billions of the best people will be there.
I wish, but I think last time will have been bigger
"Weather", sure. It'll be 22° and cloudy. Cold af, for sure, but it's always cold for inauguration. What else is ol Trumpy boi worried about
We all know its really because he won't be getting the crowds his fragile ego needs. This may be the first time a snowflake ever melted because of freezing temperatures.

Beautiful poetry that I will note and save ... you are a genius with words.
Maybe the 10 MAGA that show up will storm the building because the deep state is blocking their view? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And these people want Greenland? I hate to break it to them...
Protip: It ain't green.
thinks back to how bad a time Nazi Germany had trying to invade Siberia
I think they need to learn this lesson the hard way.
But they don't learn it the hard way, it's mostly low ranking military who suffers.
It was kinda green when Erik the Red colonized it a thousand years ago, especially compared to Iceland at the time which was covered in even more glaciers.
I thought he was a MAN.
Indoors is woke.
Can you imagine the circus if Kamala or Biden had theirs indoors?
“What are they hiding from the public????”
Ah, yes. "Weather." And totally not because of snipers, drones, rotten eggs, tomatoes, hecklers, or Mrs. Cake.
Cold weather = small crowd
Nuff said.
I thought conservatives were all supposed to be tough and manly and shit. My small gay ass is sitting outside all day in 0 degree weather in a boom lift installing cams on the side of office buildings and this motherfucker can't brave the cold for a couple hours or so?
He’s for sure going to say that global warming isn’t happening because they had to move in from the cold.
Crowd would seem too small outside
Looks like it will be raining attempted snipers
Inauguration becomes Super Spreader Event, perfect.
For communicable disease? ... or fascism?
Yes.
I was thinking communicable diseases. You know there won't be a mask in the place, and people will be hollering and slobbering all over each other. The effect on fascism seems hard to determine from my perspective. Will more people die or become disabled? Maybe that slows the fascists down a smidge. Time will tell, my friend.
There will be shrinkage.
My crowd size is massive, it was just cold out!
Anyone else remember that ’alternative' facts was originally a response to crowd size at the first inauguration?
Will they punch holes in the roof to raise the flags to the highest they've ever been?
Goddamnit. Now all the Luigis hiding in the bushes need to go home.
I was really looking forward to the satellite images of the crowd....
Coward... If you cant stand in the cold for 15 min. To give a speech you shouldn't be able to do the job. If he is worried about getting harrison'd then wear a better coat.
He probably can't fit into them anymore.
Possibly a way to avoid smaller crowd stories, though I doubt it. He has many more fans now than he did the first time he got in.
If an asteroid hit, that’d solve issues for a hell of a lot of people.
While I doubt it will happen, I’d love to see this move indoors to a smaller venue and STILL be unable to sell out.
If your supporters are so numerous, energetic, supportive and dedicated .... it shouldn't matter to any of them what the weather was outside. It would have to be a hurricane to stop them. His supporters should be lining the streets of the capitol demanding to be at the inauguration and wanting to see their new leader in public.
Definitely a lot of snowflakes at this event
I was wondering last night, how cold does it have to be for trump to skip his own inauguration.
