DONALD Trump’s inauguration planners incredibly picked a company with the name “Don’s Johns” to supply the porta-potties for the event — and now they’re scrambling to cover them with masking tape.

But New York Post reports the Virginia firm supplying the plastic thrones wants the world to know they landed the prestigious gig

“We’re proud to have our name on the units, and we’re planning to take the tape off of our logos,” Robert Weghorst, COO for the company, told The Post.

“We didn’t know who was doing it.”

Either way it seems somebody believes the company’s name is too close to that of the incoming President’s, Donald John Trump.

The likely culprits are inaugural workers concerned the name would anger the notoriously thin-skinned Trump.

A spokesman for the Architect of the Capitol, which oversees the Capitol and its grounds, said the logos were being covered or removed to comply with Capitol grounds restrictions on advertising.

Staff determined that signs for Gene’s Johns - a competitor that also is providing portable toilets for the inauguration - “can be easily peeled off,” the spokesman said in an email. The Don’s Johns logos cannot be removed easily “and are being covered with tape,” the email said.

Don’s Johns has provided portable toilets for many major events in Washington, including the 2009 and 2013 inauguration ceremonies for President Barack Obama, Weghorst said.

No logos were taped over during those events, he said. The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies and the Presidential Inaugural Committee declined to comment.

The Twitterverse went wild cracking wise.

“Attention Mr. President-elect: Don’s Johns prides itself on being #1 in the #2 business,” tweeted the Wall Street Journal’s Michael Saul.

“So the first great free speech battle of the Trump Presidency will be over Don’s Johns?’ wrote Jeremy Pressman.

“Trump didn’t want people confusing them with his Russian mattress company,” tweeted Nick Pappas.

“Will Don’s Johns have gold plated thrones for the inauguration?“ tweeted Russ Panneton.

“Don’s Johns. You can’t make this crap up. Guess they’re worried about something else smelling up the swamp,” added Good Day LA.

‏“Don’s Johns. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,” was all PaganChild had to say.

“Is Don’s Johns where he goes to take his golden showers?” wrote BluePixie, referring to the fake claims of a romp in a Russian hotel.

The company’s name is still visible behind the tape on close inspection, but would likely be invisible to a TV or still camera.

The Inauguration will take place on the west side of the Capitol facing the National Mall.

Portable toilets set up on the east side, near Senate office buildings, do not have taped-over logos, not yet at least.

Don’s Johns says on its website that it has provided portable toilets for many large events in Washington, including the 2009 inauguration ceremony for President Barack Obama. The company’s logos were visible during that event.

The Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies and the Presidential Inaugural Committee had no immediate comment Friday.

A spokeswoman for the president-elect did not respond to a question about whether Team Trump was behind the effort to hide the name.
