Wallace asked Priebus, President Trump said in his inaugural address that every decision he makes will be to benefit American families. How does arguing about crowd size do that?
Priebus said this isnt about crowd sizes, but about honesty in the media. He said, Were not gonna sit around and take it.
Wallace shot back that where honesty is concerned, Trump said two flat-out wrong things. He showed photos from both inaugurations and asked Priebus which one is bigger. Priebus argued that the Trump inauguration one was taken before he started speaking.
Wallace called this a ridiculous conversation and took serious issue with Trumps characterization of how big the crowd was.
Priebus complained that the press wont talk about substance, but Wallace shot back that it was Trump and Spicers decision to make the crowd size thing a big issue.

(7,812 posts)embryo a human being, declare jerusalem the capitol of israel, repeal ACA, cut safety nets, run down the media/facts/knowledge, eliminate the NEA and dept of energy and dept of education, nominate a nut for SCOTUS, install all the foxes in the cabinet henhouses, etc -- and then the gop and dems will take him down together and we'll reset with Pence. Most presidents only get the first year to do major stuff anyway. Trump may or may not be aware of this bigger alternative picture but I bet Pence is.
This administration is not in it for the long haul. They are not building bridges, they are burning them.
After gop cleans house, most voters will be relieved not to have to listen to Trump, Conway, Spicer....and Pence will get another honeymoon, coasting till 2018 and 2020 when the gop won't have to be defending Trump every day.
