Trump Breaking News Network - D.C. Metro System Snubs Trump On Special Inaugural Day Fare Cards.

by Jack Davis.

The Washington, D.C., Metro system has broken the precedent established during the Obama administration and will not feature an image of President-elect Donald Trump on special SmarTrip fare cards used for unlimited subway access on the day Trump is inaugurated.

In 2009 and again in 2013, President Barack Obama was featured on the cards. During the 2012 campaign, the D.C. Metro was even planning for a possible win by Republican nominee Mitt Romney and made up cards with Romney’s image upon them.

However, for 2017, there will be no picture. In fact, Trump’s name does not even appear.

Instead, the cards, which sell for $10, feature a picture of the White House with an American flag as the backdrop.

The omission was greeted with criticism.The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority said Trump’s campaign was to blame and said the campaign never approved a photo of Trump for it to use.

“Due to the long lead time to produce the cards, the new pass commemorates the national celebration of the 58th Presidential Inauguration,” it said.

Trump is not alone. Former President George W. Bush was never pictured on a fare card either.

When former President Bill Clinton was inaugurated in 1993, the fare cards printed for the day bore his signature and that of Vice President Al Gore.
