US will issue commemorative passports with Trump’s picture for America’s 250th birthday

WASHINGTON (AP) — The State Department said Tuesday that it is preparing a limited release of commemorative U.S. passports celebrating America’s 250th birthday that feature a picture of President Donald Trump, who would be the first living president to be featured in the travel document.

The concept for the special passport, including a rendering of Trump’s stern-looking visage, had been under consideration for months before finally being approved late Monday. Between 25,000 and 30,000 of the new passports will be available to applicants at the Washington, D.C., passport office beginning shortly before July 4.

It’s the latest instance of Trump having his name and likeness added to buildings, documents and other highly visible tributes. There are efforts to put Trump’s signature on all new U.S. paper currency, also a first for a sitting president, as well as to include his image on a gold commemorative coin to celebrate the country’s founding.

The commemorative passport will be the default document for people applying in person at the Washington office, although those who want a standard passport will be able to get one by applying online or outside Washington, officials said.

I would expect additional scrutiny at any border I tried to cross, if nothing else for my lack of judgement and morals.

Fortunately I don’t think mine expires for some time. No international trips planned at the moment anyways.

But I’d be pissed if I had that thing. I’d be tempted to put some black electrical tape over it.

It tells the border agents in other countries that you are a Trump supporter.

by donors hoping to pump the numbers. Also, unlike a regular book, they're not going to be collectors items. It'll be interesting to see how many are actually issued.

Every god damned day he does something to make me hate him more. It's starting to make me physically ill. I want to "tune out" but I have to know what's going on. Anyone else on this same treadmill?
