Fanta Fascist mug will not be missed...
Metro just released the first image of 2017s Inauguration Day SmarTrip card, and theres one noteworthy omission: any mention of President-elect Donald Trump.
Theres a billowing American flag. A picture of the White House. The date of the event. And the words 58th PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURATION CELEBRATION.
But theres no Trump. Thats a change from the past two Inauguration Days, when President Obamas smiling face beamed from the front of the cards. And in 2013, the commemorative card read, America Makes History Again.
In a statement Wednesday, Metro said theres a simple reason that Trumps grin is not similarly featured on the 2017 card: Metro didnt have permission.
Metro requested permission to use a photo, but received no response from the campaign, the statement said. Due to the long lead time to produce the cards, the new pass commemorates the national celebration of the 58th Presidential Inauguration.

(12,904 posts)I still have mine with President Obama's photo, from my last trip to Washington in 2009.
Team Trump - Hacks elected by Hackers.
I guess all those Bikers for Trump will be bringing their own transportation, and won't be riding the Metro anyway.

(9,760 posts)And the RW had the unmitigated gall to call President Obama incompetent! Not a one of them, pissboy and his cronies, deserve the honor of shining Obama's shoes.
