Last Friday, Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States.
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer held a press conference shortly after to announce that Trump’s inauguration held the largest audience “both in person and around the globe," kicking off a colorful discussion on crowd size and digital viewership.
In terms of television viewership, Trump’s inauguration didn’t even come close to the most-viewed. The event was seen by 30.6 million viewers across 12 networks.
