Taxation Without Representation tags

The question was: are the tags on the limo on purpose or are they on just cause no one knows any better. Consensus was that they would be gone as soon as someone heard the news the car had the plates on them. Tom Sherwood did not sound optimistic at all.

Now also according to Tom Sherwood (it might have been Patrick Madden) Pence is on the record in supporting DC (not sure if Statehood or giving EHN a vote) when he was in Congress and it's in the Congressional Record if anyone wants to do an actual search.


The more interesting question is, not the slogan on the license plates, but rather why every presidential limo and SUV has the exact same plate number, DC 800 002.

The motorcade always travels with multiples, be it the "Beast" limo or Suburbans. USSS wants them to be not readily distinguishable. As to the lore and history on "800 002," I don't know. The Inaugural Committee did not request special plates for 1/20.

Perhaps Trump intends to expand taxation without representation to a national scale.

I'm not predicting whether he'd be more inclined to remove the taxation or the representation, though.
