Images of the new passport were shared with The Bulwark on condition that it not publish them. According to the source, a government official who provided The Bulwark with color photographs of the redesign, the State Department is planning a “limited run” of 25,000 Trump-emblazoned passports. As of now, according to the source, the new design is still awaiting approval.

My bet is this is either a soft launch before they just use this one for all passports (discouraging left of center people from getting it) or a way to encourage old MAGA people who have never considered traveling to get proof of citizenship. Either way, it's about voting and citizenship checks, not just ego.

    They want to immortalize this guy so badly.

    Too bad he's pretty much a corpse who hasn't realized he expired some time ago.

    It's part of the firehose of bullshit. Every small thing he can do to irritate his critics is a victory, because you have to commit bandwidth to shutting down this bullshit.

    He doesn't actually care if he is successful in 90% of his schemes, as long it distracts people from all the thieving and the raping.

    What a perfectly normal thing for a regular president to do.

    Surely people see why this shit is fucking nuts right? Imagine if Obama went out of his way to "troll" his detractors like this..m

    Shit, looks like I will be renewing my passport a few months early. Can I put on the application that I am renewing it early because I don't want to carry around Trump's picture for the next 10 years?

    Unless you’re in DC and applying in person at a certain passport office, you have nothing to worry about. Headlines for this story make it seem like this is a nationwide thing for everyone because that idea drives engagement a lot more than the actual situation.
