Maclean’s Donald Trump Tweet Predictor No. 1: Results

Our challenge this week was to predict how Donald Trump would react on Twitter to the following scenario:

On Jan. 21, the new President awakens to discover that CNN and other news organizations are broadcasting images that suggest the public gathering for his inauguration was much smaller than the 2008 crowd for Barack Obama.

Dozens of people responded on Twitter using the hashtag #MTTP. Here are some of my favourites:

Dems SWAMPED Obama's inauguration with THOUSANDS of illegal immigrants! My supporters CHOSE to join ME! LOVE! #mttp

#MTTP Dishonest media says crowds were small & imply something else is small. I guarantee you there's no problem. I guarantee you!

Biggest, most attractive inauguration crowd ever! All 10's. Turned away millions when all 30 seats were filled. LOSERS! #MTTP
