Can I blacken out trump'asses picture on new passport? [View all]

My 'short' passport expires soon and I really do not want to renew it if trumpass picture is on it. So was wondering if it does appear, can I blacken it out with an indelible black magic marker, or will this invalidate my passport?
I know I could google 'defacing your passport' but thought this might make a humorous if not serious topic.
A short passport is not worldwide, just Canada and Mexico, maybe another nearby etcetra.

“Regardless of your political affiliation, your chance of getting a limited-edition passport featuring our current president is lower if you are located outside Washington, D.C., and even then, it is offered ‘when available,’ according to the State Department,” Katy Nastro, spokesperson for the travel app Going, told Afar in an email. “Above all else, let this be a reminder to check your passport book often to see when you’re due for a new one.”

Well, on the outside mischance that I get one.
And remember, check your passport book often to see when you're due, and keep those indelible black magic markers ready.
