Look close, see if you can find the Cobra helicopter in this picture!

(Hmmm, the crowd looks a little thin back there, doesn't it?)

Yes, it does, and then when we look at this picture of the same view.

It isn't the same view. The fences are 10 feet tall, and the
horseman's hat has moved from below a fence to above. The camera is
even lower to the ground than in the picture above.

True, there is a slight difference in the specific positioning of the
camera, but they are close enough be considered the same at that
distance.

The same at what distance? These shots are looking through telescopes.
Look at the picture with the helicopter in it.

The Washington Monument ia a mile away, and the base of it looks yuge!
And behind that, we see the Lincoln Memorial TWO MILES away! And...
yuge! All that distance is compressed by the lens. There's no way to
judge the depth of the empty white space back there from distorted
pictures like this.

Rotate it to show the horse statute with the crowds beyond.
Zoom in so the horse statute is about the same size as the one in the
Washington Post picture.

See those large vertical posts? They make good reference points. If
you count from the background toward the foreground with the most
distant post as post 1, the Washington Post photo shows nearly empty
areas between posts 1 and 2, 2 and 3, and 3 and 4. The CNN photo
clearly shows large crowds in each of those areas. The only area that's
nearly empty of people in both photos is the area beyond post 1.

Now zoom in on the crowds in the foreground, just beyond the statute.
In the CNN photo all eyes are on the grandstand. In the WP photo people
are milling about much more. If it was taken during the actual event,
all eyes would be front, and they're not.

Here's a goodie. See that green helicopter and white semi tractor in
the WP photo? They are not in the CNN photo. Look up and to the left
of the helicopter in the WP photo, just to the right of that white
storage shed with the green fence around it. See that white sedan? See
the empty areas in its vicinity? In the CNN photo there's no car there,
only big crowds that clearly are not in the WP photo. That's proof
positive both photos were not taken at the same time.

Now rotate the CNN photo to the grandstand. Trump is speechifying,
which proves the time of the photo without needing a timestamp. Taking
all the details together, it's clear that the WP photo was not taken
during the actual ceremony.

Bull****. Do the trig on the line of sight. Then look at the time-lapse. There is no question that the 2009 inaugural was more than twice as large.
