Both are correct.

Trump is saying that more people watched on television around the world and combined with the crowd at the event more people saw his inauguration and heard his speech.

If both things are true...that more people attended Pres. Obama's inauguration in person and more people saw Pres. Trump's...then what would you call that?
Conway chose "alternative".

The media chooses to make Trump look bad in any way they can. So they went with the numbers in attendance at the event.

Trump's team chooses to make Trump look good in any way they can. So they went with the numbers of people in attendance PLUS watching around the world.

Again...the media, and people such as yourself who hate Trump...choosing to deliberately pretend that they don't grasp such an easy concept to understand.

If this had been Hillary's inauguration she would have had even less in attendance. No excitement like there was for Pres. Obama as the first black President.
And I guarantee you that CNN would NOT have been talking about these numbers at all.

Open your eyes brother. It's ALL politics in the beltway bubble.

The citizens who work hard and take care of their families in the real world...well, we just roll our eyes at all of this nonsense that has nothing to do with making things better in this country.
