Trump to feature on limited number of commemorative US passports The United States government has announced the release of a limited edition of passports that will feature a portrait of former President Donald Trump. The White House confirmed the initiative, which is part of the celebrations marking the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence in July. The design, first reported by Fox News, includes an image of Trump surrounded by text from the Declaration of Independence, the American flag, and his signature in gold. The passports will be available for any American citizen applying for a passport during the rollout period, though availability is expected to be limited. The Washington Passport Agency will be the sole location where these special editions can be obtained. The State Department released a rendering of the passport, showcasing Trump's portrait alongside the historical text and symbols. A White House spokesperson emphasized the significance of the design, stating it provides "yet another great way Americans can join in the spectacular celebrations for America's 250th birthday." The spokesperson also highlighted other events tied to the anniversary, including the UFC250 Fight, the Great American State Fair, and the Freedom250 Grand Prix, which they described as part of Trump's efforts to "renew national pride and patriotism." Current US passports depict scenes from the nation's history, such as the Moon landing, along with iconic symbols like the Statue of Liberty. It remains unclear whether citizens will have the option to opt out of the special edition. The initiative is part of a broader trend of associating Trump's name and likeness with government programs and public infrastructure.#donald_trump #white_house #trump_kennedy_center #declaration_of_independence #washington_passport_agency
