“The man behind Donald Trump’s official presidential tweets is a former golf caddy who has repeatedly promoted fake news stories and conspiracy theories on social media,” the Independent reports.

“The official President of the United States (@POTUS) Twitter page was updated on Sunday to confirm the messages are being posted by Dan Scavino, Mr Trump’s ‘assistant’ and Director of Social Media… Scavino has shared articles from websites that claim 9/11 was an ‘inside job’, Michelle Obama is a man and Beyonce is funded by the CIA.”

New York Times: “The women’s march in Washington was roughly three times the size of the audience at President Trump’s inauguration, crowd counting experts said Saturday.”

“Marcel Altenburg and Keith Still, crowd scientists at Manchester Metropolitan University in Britain, analyzed photographs and video taken of the National Mall and vicinity and estimated that there were about 160,000 people in those areas in the hour leading up to Mr. Trump’s speech Friday. They estimated that at least 470,000 people were at the women’s march in Washington in the areas on and near the mall at about 2 p.m. Saturday.”

“President Trump and his staff spent their first full day in the White House waging a bitter war against the news media over depictions of the crowd at the inauguration on Friday,” the New York Times reports.

“In a pair of angry public appearances on Saturday, Mr. Trump and his White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, excoriated the news media for what they said were deliberate efforts to understate the number of people who had gathered on the National Mall.”

Associated Press: “Trump is wrong. Photos of the National Mall from his inauguration make clear that the crowd did not extend to the Washington Monument. Large swaths of empty space are visible on the Mall.”

“Thin crowds and partially empty bleachers also dotted the inaugural parade route. Hotels across the District of Columbia reported vacancies, a rarity for an event as large as a presidential inauguration.”

In a “bizarre campaign-type speech” at the CIA headquarters, President Trump said it “looked honestly like a million and a half people” were at his inauguration and said “it went all the way back to the Washington Monument,” BuzzFeed reports.

Trump accused the media of showing “an empty field” and saying that just 250,000 people turned up for his inauguration.

Michiko Kakutani: “He is constantly contradicting himself and conjuring a reality at odds with verifiable facts—not just in impulsive tweets and incoherent, rambling off-the-cuff remarks, but in his just-delivered Inaugural Address. The lip-service that Trump paid to unity at the end of the speech is belied by his shameless use of nativist and bigoted language over the last 18 months, and by the barrage of insults he’s hurled at institutions—from the judiciary to the intelligence agencies to the press—and at individuals, including, most recently, the revered civil rights leader Rep. John Lewis. His defense of the ‘forgotten men and women’ — a phrase reminiscent of the language that his adviser Steve Bannon has used — is belied by his selection of a Cabinet chock full of millionaires and billionaires and Goldman Sachs alums.”

Politico: “Amid the pomp and circumstance, though, disorganization continued at the White House.”

“Some of the White House’s press wranglers continued using personal email addresses because their official ones had yet to be set up, and there was confusion as to whether or not the prayer service was open to the press (it was). And Trump’s plans for the day, usually disseminated directly to the media, were instead blasted out on Twitter by press secretary Sean Spicer.”

Hundreds of thousands of people poured into Washington Saturday for the Women’s March, a larger-than-expected crowd determined to mount a roaring rejoinder to the inaugural gathering for Donald Trump one day earlier,” the Washington Post reports.

“By mid-afternoon, organizers had decided the crowd was too big to formally march to the White House, although protesters were already on the move and speakers were still exhorting them to head toward the Ellipse.”

Associated Press: “While there will be no formal march led from the protest stage near the Capitol, the crowd is still expected to move toward the Ellipse, an area of the National Mall in front of the White House.”

President Trump “plans to take executive action on a nearly daily basis for a month to unravel his predecessor’s legacy and begin enacting his own agenda, his aides say, part of an extended exercise of presidential power to quickly make good on his campaign promises,” the New York Times reports.

“But in a reflection of the improvisational style that helped fuel his rise, he has made few, if any, firm decisions about which orders he wants to make, or in which order.”
