President Donald Trump and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer are having a rough day.
After throwing a temper tantrum throughout the day over the small crowd sizes at his inauguration, Trump sent Spicer out to deliver a statement to the media.
Spicer blasted the media for accurately reporting the size of Trump’s inauguration crowd, before presenting some made up facts of his own in an effort to stroke Donald Trump’s ego. Trump also claims there were around 1.5 million people in attendance, when the reality is there was possibly 250,000.
Well, the two then started getting trolled on social media for blatantly lying, before the Dallas Stars joined in on the fun.
Mocking Spicer’s comment that this was the most attended inauguration in history, the Stars put out an inflated attendance figure of their own.

As for the size of the crowd that was actually there for Trump’s swearing in, have a look.
