Don's Johns provided port-a-potties for at least the past three inaugurations without incident, their logo intact on the individual decals. And while some golf tournaments have requested that the company remove branding on the portable facilities because it could wind up on the broadcast, that is written into the contract long before workers begin installation.

"We’ve never run into this before, someone placing this ugly blue tape over the logo," Weghorst says.

The company began installing the facilities on Sunday and has already put in place 1,500 of the total of 2,000 johns they are slated to provide through a contract with the Architect of the Capital and a sub-contract with United Site Services. Weghorst says that both of them denied directing the cover-up.

Don's Johns plans to send its own workers to remove the tape, likely some time over the weekend.

Coming just days after the media had to figure out how to explain "golden showers," the movement may be afoot to update to rebrand the day's events: urinauguration.

"It is very bizarre. This has thrown our office upside down. The calls are just off the hook," Weghorst says. "It's been great for our social media ... I just wish I knew what was going on."
