META DESCRIPTION: Trump unveils a new US passport featuring his own image, marking America's 250th anniversary with a limited-edition design. (148 characters)
President Donald Trump on Friday unveiled a rendering of a new limited-edition US passport to mark the country's 250th anniversary of independence, featuring his stern-faced likeness. "The U.S.A.'s New Passport, which says, 'Welcome, but be good!'" Trump wrote on Truth Social alongside the passport mock-up.
The new passport shows a glowering Trump leaning on his desk, with his signature and the text of the Declaration of Independence in the background. The image appears to be based on a portrait taken by White House photographer Daniel Torok. The opposite page shows a painting of the declaration's 1776 signing, with the words "United States of America 250."
The White House posted the same rendering on its own accounts, labeling it the "PATRIOT PASSPORT." The State Department had previously announced that a commemorative passport with "custom artwork" would be available from July 6, though it did not immediately respond to a request for comment. In April, a department official said the Trump-themed passports would only be issued at in-person appointments in Washington, "for as long as there is availability."
Trump has aggressively put his personal stamp on government institutions. Banners of the president now fly outside several government buildings, and the Treasury Department has said his signature will soon appear on the one-dollar bill. Trump also added his name to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, until a court ruled that it should be removed.
Trump will be the first sitting US president featured in Americans' travel documents.
