After President-elect Donald Trump takes the oath next Monday, the traditional inaugural parade will take place on the streets of Washington. In addition to the usual pomp and circumstance, there will be a special vehicle: The garbage truck Trump rode in during his campaign.
The truck went viral last October following Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden. There, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made a joke at the expense of the country of Puerto Rico that crowds poorly received, referring to it as a “floating island of garbage.” President Joe Biden then appeared in a virtual rally on Vice President Kamala Harris’s behalf to respond, “The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”
Trump appeared in Wisconsin hours after Biden’s comment in the garbage truck, which had a “Make America Great Again” banner on its side.
Now, the truck will drive through Washington, D.C., on Jan. 20 to commemorate Trump’s second term.

Meanwhile, Washington, D.C., is anticipating a cold Inauguration Day. Every president has been inaugurated on Jan. 20 since 1937, according to the 20th Amendment.
Security will be tight, and dozens of road closures are planned for the event.
