"Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals—that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government—that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizens’ protection against the government." Ayn Rand

Trump also accused the news media of lying about the size of the crowd that attended his inauguration. Trump wrongly said the crowd had stretched all the way to the Washington Monument in the middle of the National Mall. Photos taken of the Mall on Friday showed large swaths of empty space compared to Barack Obama's inauguration eight years ago. Trump says the inauguration crowd looked to be about a million and a half people. He says the news media will pay a "big price" for what he claims was dishonesty. The guy is fucking amazing.......barely 24 hours into the job he has his press secretary (who I thought was nervous as hell) issuing a statement about the size of the crowd he drew on Friday......he went through how many people each section of the mall would hold (no one knows where those numbers come from) but the photos don't lie.......especially impressive is the almost empty bleacher seats right next to his viewing stand. Then this morning he goes to the CIA and standing in front of the memorial dedicated to their fallen agents, he criticizes the press and again brings up the crowd numbers..... And there are guys on this thread who say he is not an egotist....
