Trump Unveils Design for “Patriotic Passport” Marking America’s 250th Anniversary

Donald Trump has unveiled a new design for a limited-edition “Patriotic Passport” prepared for the 250th anniversary of the United States.

In the sample the president posted on social media, Trump is shown standing at the Resolute Desk, with the text of the Declaration of Independence in the background. The second page features a reproduction of John Trumbull’s famous painting Declaration of Independence.

“The new U.S. passport that says: ‘Welcome, but behave!’” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The State Department announced special documents for the country’s anniversary back in April and published an earlier version of this design. The official White House account on social media reposted the version published by Trump with the caption: “PATRIOT PASSPORT.”

The limited-edition passport became part of a broader Trump administration campaign to use the president’s name or image in the design of federal buildings, online services, military ships and other government facilities.

The administration’s attempt to add Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center has already become the subject of a legal dispute. A court ordered the president’s name removed from the facade of the famous performing-arts center. The signage was taken down, but the Kennedy Center’s board continues to seek the renaming and plans to close the building for renovation this summer.

Last year, the Trump administration also faced a lawsuit over a proposal to issue a single national-parks pass in which an image of Glacier National Park in Montana was replaced with a photograph of Trump and former President George Washington.

Kieran Suckling, executive director of the Center for Biological Diversity, which filed the lawsuit, called it “Trump’s most crass and egocentric act.”

“It is disgusting that Trump is politicizing America’s most sacred natural lands by slapping his face on national parks the same way he puts his corporate name on buildings, restaurants and golf clubs,” Suckling said. “National parks are not an opportunity for personal branding. They are the pride and joy of the American people.”
