Seeing reports on Twitter that the inauguration crowd is almost 100% white

No surprise there.

The reports of crowd estimates should be interesting. I'm already seeing tweets betting Trump will quarrel with the estimates. What I've seen of the crowd so far isn't that impressive.

Almost everyone I see wearing Trump hats and scarves is white.
Funny though, a lot of the street hawkers selling the stuff are Black. It's a living, I guess.

I rode my bike downtown to his rally.

Crowd all white. Trump hawkers on the street were all black; I was a bit taken aback, but like you say, "it's a living."

Still caused me a bit of cognitive dissonance.

The performers will be the best of the pathetic lineup, and Trump will be appearing, so this should be drawing a huge crowd of Trump supporters.

Could have been today for all I know. I thought I'd be ok with it but the feeling just gets worse every moment. I did not feel this way with bush even 2000. Trump is a different animal all together.
