One of the first controversies of the administration of President Donald Trump was the president's assertion that his inauguration in Washington DC had been attended by more spectators than that of his predecessor, Barack Obama.

Even one of his advisers even cited "alternative facts" to justify the position of the White House, which seemed to contradict the images shown on television. Trump himself even called the heads of the National Park Service to reveal all the images he had of the event, which sharpened the ingenuity of the meme creators.

Well, over a month later, that federal agency has finally delivered them. The images include aerial and ground shots of the day of the inauguration of the current president and others of the first of Obama in January 2009, at approximately the same time.

The one on the left corresponds to that of Obama and the one on the right corresponds to Trump. By comparing the images, it becomes clear who had the most attendees.

According to The Washington Post, these photographs constitute an official government record and contradict the current president's claim that more than 1.5 million people have reportedly met at the National Mall to see him sworn in.

The newspaper also cites an unidentified Park Service official who confirms that four of those images were sent to the White House after receiving the unusual call from the president demanding evidence.

White House spokesman Sean Spicer went on to claim that the New York magnate's investiture had been the busiest in history.
