He was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts. The largest single-day protest in the history of the United States, the Women's March, took place the day after his inauguration and was driven by opposition to Trump and his policies and views.One of Trump's major first year accomplishments, made as part of a '100-day pledge', was the confirmation of Neil Gorsuch as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Trump's claims were notably defended by Press Secretary Sean Spicer, who claimed the inauguration crowd had been the biggest in history, a claim disproven by photographs. Trump's senior adviser Kellyanne Conway then defended Spicer when asked about the falsehood, saying it was an 'alternative fact', not a falsehood.On February 16, 2017, less than a month into his presidency, Trump held a press conference during which he claimed the news media were not speaking for the people, but for 'special interests'. He said they were dishonest, out of control and doing a disservice to the American people.
