The National Park Service had traditionally estimated the crowd sizes of Washington DC events and protests and mad them public, After the Donald Tump Inaguration, they followed the usual procedure using the Internet and tweeting the size of the crowd. Howevert, the resultrs showed that the crowd for the Trump inaguaration crowd size was smaller than that of Barak Obama and even George W. Bush. Trump, very sinsitive to any thing that he believed diminished him, then as one of his early adminsiotrative acts as Chief Executive, ordered the the Park Service to stop doing any indpendent tweeting or other public statemetns about crowd size, He was particualry worried that the Women's March the Next Day would show the protesting women outdrawing his inaguaration. Baltz was specualting with other political journalists and pundits on how the Park Service bureaucracy would react to the heavy censorship over relative trivia imposed by the new president.
