Several posts on societal media arrogate that chairperson Donald Trump is livid after someone put signs saying "Donald J.

A spokesperson for the architect of the Capitol told the Associated Press at the time that the logos were covered to "comply with Capitol grounds restrictions on advertising."
However, the Chief Operating Officer of Don's John's said that they provided portable toilets with their logos for the 2009 and 2013 inaugurations of President Barack Obama too.
