Democrats may hold every elected office in Montgomery County, but a collectible Inauguration of Donald Trump Metro farecard sold like hotcakes at its subway stations last week. By Saturday, the Trump SmarTrip cards had sold out at every station selling them within Montgomery County. WMATA has now announced that the Trump card has sold out at all D.C.-area Metro stations, but the transit agency will make a limited new batch of them available at the Metro Center station on Monday, Inauguration Day - again, while supplies last.
It appears most buyers intend to hold onto their cards as keepsakes, as relatively few are being listed on eBay for resale. At the time of this writing, resale prices on the site are running from $17.50 to $470. Trump grew his voter support significantly in Montgomery County in 2024, over his results in 2020 and 2016.
The President-Elect, Melania Trump, and their son Barron Trump arrived in the D.C. area last night, deplaning in total darkness, apparently for security reasons, before enjoying a fireworks display at Trump's golf club in Northern Virginia. Donald Trump must surely also be enjoying word of his farecard selling out in far-left Montgomery County. Trump places great importance on TV ratings, poll numbers, sales, and other measures of success in each of his ventures.
In remarks at the golf club, Trump gave shout-outs to Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin, and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, whose Amazon HQ2 is located in Northern Virginia. Tenor Christopher Macchio performed the aria "Nessun Dorma," which always generates a buzz on social media when Trump requests it, due to its use in the climactic scene of the political conspiracy film The Sum of All Fears.

"Sold out" sounds, impressive-- but, how many of those farecards were sold? Do you have any actual numbers for that?
Now, you, too, can emulate Elon Musk with Trump in your pocket!
Blue buys red to make green. #resell #eBay

Robert, do you have any Intel on why Fortune Cookie has been closed for over a week with no information available and nary a sign on their door?
Bingo!
Even as someone who is very pro-AI, your use of AI generated imagery is borderline unethical. I suggest you mark images that are AI generated when they contain politicians and public figures.
Borderline?
You're so nice. There's nothing borderline about it, it's unethical and propagandizing by a cult member.
I'd agree if it wasn't 'tongue in cheek' preposterous.
Lighten up, Francis.
Ads for a convicted felon. Why not include a background of Seven Locks Detention Center in the background of your AI?
