New photos from National Park Service confirm the truth about Trump's inauguration crowds

The National Park Service is putting disputes over President Donald Trump's inauguration crowd size to bed once and for all.

"This is the first time in our nation's history that floor coverings have been used to protect the grass on the Mall," Spicer said, attempting to account for the glaring white space. "[It] had the effect of highlighting areas people were not standing whereas in years past the grass eliminated this visual."

Thanks, Spicer. But we'll let the visuals speak for themselves.
