The slogan is a tongue-in-cheek dig at the District’s lack of voting representation in Congress, and a play on the famous slogan, “No taxation without representation,” which was used in the American colonies to voice dissatisfaction with colonists’ lack of representation in British Parliament.

One long-proposed solution to D.C.’s representation conundrum is granting the District statehood, a prospect support by both Clinton and Obama during their presidencies.

Washington, D.C., voters overwhelmingly voted to make the District the 51st state in November. But because the area is a federal district and falls under the authority of Congress, the ballot measure alone doesn’t guarantee statehood.

That measure also provides for the creation of a smaller federal district where much of the federal government is already based.

And it’s unlikely that a Republican-controlled Congress would grant D.C. such a status. The District is heavily Democratic, making it likely that voters would elect Democrats to Congress, giving the party more sway and a greater chance of retaking a majority.

Trump told The Post last year that he had “no position” on the issue, but mentioned that he doesn’t “see statehood for D.C.”
