President Donald Trump unveiled a new rendering of a special commemorative US passport bearing his likeness Friday, debuting a limited-edition passport to mark America’s 250th anniversary this year.
“The U.S.A.’s New Passport, which says, ‘Welcome, but be good!’” Trump posted on Truth Social.
He included a sample passport page featuring an image of him looming over the Resolute Desk, the text of the original Declaration of Independence in the background and his signature on the bottom. The opposite page has an image of the “The Declaration of Independence” painting by John Trumbull.
Sigh. Passports aren’t supposed to have priddy pikshers of the current president scowling into a camera.
The new passport appears to feature a rendering of Trump based
off of[on] the president’s portrait from the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, and differs from renderings released by the State Department earlier this year, which featured a different image of the president.
The image, of course, is ludicrous – Tump’s familiar petulant scowl, aka constipated baby face.
The new limited-edition travel document was first announced in April as part of the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration. It was billed as “a limited-edition U.S. passport to commemorate the historic occasion of America’s 250th anniversary,” featuring “custom artwork and enhanced images on the front, back, and inside covers.”
Yeah yeah 250 whoopee, only it’s not looking so much like a celebration now, is it. The U.S. is now the deeply sick country that elected this horrendous man not once but twice. What’s to celebrate?
