If we believed the polls, lol, which is debatable at this point, since now we have entered the so-called post truth era. But, seriously, I doubt the crowds for a Clinton inauguration would have set the world on fire, anymore then they did at Trump's. I don't think we would have seen Clinton making a stink over photos, though.
And, judging by the number of leaks from the West Wing, his own staff is concerned:

I love your characterization of it as the post-truth era! It's only appropriate, since we're now so enamored of everything that can be labeled "mid-century modern" - - it sort of fits in with the what we went through in the 1950's with the "Red Scare" and the McCarthy hearings!
at any rate, apparently some Wall Street Journal reporters are concerned about their paper's bias in favor of The Donald

Wall Street Journal staffers are increasingly concerned that the paper’s coverage of President Donald Trump is not critical enough and too willing to defend his actions rather than serve a watchdog role. In interviews with Media Matters, Journal reporters say that there has been pressure “to reflect pro-Trump viewpoints” in articles and that “everyone in the newsroom is concerned about it.”
-----------------------------
“The issue that is more subtle is the pressure to reflect pro-Trump viewpoints in the story, that’s growing,” said one veteran reporter who requested anonymity to avoid retribution. He added that it began during the campaign. “The Journal abdicated its responsibility to punch hard. They should have trained the D.C. bureau on Trump and hit hard.”
Another reporter said the directives from above are unclear, prompting concern about how critical to be of Trump.
“Everyone in the newsroom is concerned about it,” the reporter said. “The concern is that they are over-correcting a little bit, that is the worry, that we are not being as tough on the administration as we could.”
The journalist also raised the issue of normalizing Trump’s behavior when his actions are treated like those of any president.
“That’s the real issue, whether you’re a liberal or conservative outlet, that is the question you have to answer,” the reporter said. “What is the objective term to use to describe what is a lunatic policy? That is a really big worry, as the water drips and erodes this thing.”
