“The National Park Service (NPS) has resumed tweeting after it was temporarily ordered by the Interior Department to shut down its Twitter activity over two retweets — one about the attendance of President Trump’s inauguration and the other about the disappearance of some White House web pages.” CBS News, 21 January 2017
“In a Saturday phone call, Trump personally ordered [acting National Park Service director Michael T.] Reynolds to produce additional photographs of the previous day’s crowds on the Mall … The president believed that the photos might prove that the media had lied in reporting that attendance had been no better than average. Trump also expressed anger over a retweet sent from the agency’s account, in which side-by-side photographs showed far fewer people at his swearing-in than had shown up to see Barack Obama’s inauguration in 2009.” The Washington Post, 26 January 2017
