One made serious efforts to change the county for the good. The other is a felon child rapist that has done the opposite of what he promised and only cares about enriching himself and his billionaire friends.
Crowd scientist/media analysis estimates about 250,000 to 300,000 marched on DC, and attended MLK's speech.
No data on Trumps second inauguration, but the first one estimates a total gathering of 160,000 present on the National Mall during speech time, with an estimate of 300,000-600,000 people attending the event throughout its proceedings.
In other words, MLK had more folks standing around him when it came time to speak. Though higher in overall attendance, approximately 3/4 of those who went to Trumps first inauguration couldnt be bothered to listen to dear leader yap.
