DC Department of Transportation Scrambles After Outrage Over “Keep DC Trash Free” Transit Ads in Washington DC Likening Trump Supporters to Garbage
Anti-Trump advertisements, likening Trump and his supporters to garbage, were displayed on Washington DC transit signs recently, causing outrage from conservatives and invoking a response from the government attempting to distance itself from the ads.
This is reminiscent of Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” during a campaign Zoom call before the election as Kamala Harris delivered a speech at the Ellipse in DC.
This is what folks in this town think of you.
The images found near metro stations and circulator bus stops clearly depict President Trump wearing a red MAGA hat and holding a book that reads "Project 2025."
"Keep DC Trash Free," the sign reads above the image of Trump with a large cancel symbol overlayed.
In response to multiple X posts by conservative activists, the DC Department of Transportation posted a photo of a blank screen, commenting, "This image was not created, funded, or authorized by the DC government, and our team has already removed the image."
"If you see additional images like this, we encourage you to report them to 311," the agency continued.

Clearly, this would never be authorized and displayed if the ad depicted Biden or a liberal cause. Despite claims from the city, this does not appear to be an accident.
Trump-allied attorney and Article III Project founder Mike Davis responded, calling for DC to be stripped of the Home Rule Act, which gives the city its own legislative body of a mayor and city council.
"That will clean up the real trash," he said.
Repeal DC Home Rule.
That will clean up the real trash. https://t.co/hOgyK4LpPW
