What a way to commemorate the complete failure of the Founding Father's vision.

I wonder who would want this. I'm thinking most Trump supporters don't travel intentionally since every other country sucks.
Oh no. My passport is about to expire and I do need it renewed. I can't have that man's face on my gd passport
It's only from in person applicants at the DC office. As long as you don't go there to renew it, you won't get his dumb pedo face on yours.
Good to know. That's what I get for not R'ing the F'ing Article
If you wanted to be extra safe, you could just "lose" it now.
TIL that R'ing means reading and not raping.
I never rape the fucking article.
If I understand correctly, this face is only a passports from Washington?
There was another guy in the late 1930's to 1940's in Germany who also put his face on everything.
These will be collected decades from now like some people collect Nazi memorabilia.
Can you choose to get a real passport instead?
the point is to make travel for people who don't like him even more pain in the ass
any population that can travel freely can protest
any population that can't freely travel cain't
As noted elsewhere, there's only 25-30k total being produced and only for people who apply in person in DC. You're not going to get one of these unexpectedly.
I mean, odds are somebody is going to apply in person in DC without realizing it's a thing. Just not most people.
I think the point is to make it more likely that people who like Trump will get passports, and less likely for people who don't like Trump. Then when you say that voters need to have passports to vote, you have a structural advantage.
There's a german word for this: Führerkult.
A common denominator of dictatorships and facist regimes of all kind.
This is such typical dumb dictator shit -- Assad, Saddam, Pol Pot, Qaddafi, etc. Dictators do this all the time, look at my picture, look at my statue, look at me look at me aren't I so powerful
America as a whole is delusional and mental ill.
Enh. Not all the people all of the time.
This is something that will eventually rise in value. The same way as nazi memorabilia did.
If the US can decide my passport isn't valid because it has an F on it, other countries should be able to decide any passport with his shit smear on it is also invalid.
I had to renew mine this year and the first thing I did when I got it was to check for bullshit like this.
If we get this in the updated passport: we can and will rip this page out
If you don't need a valid passport than yes, you can totally do it.
Passport pages are numbered. Ripping one out may get you detained and questioned somewhere.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
the entire country is a fucking joke.
edit: I know the above is a flippant, throw-away comment, but jfc... anyone that supports the murder, the grift, the petty bullshit and threat of the boot on your face is an unserious human being. I am ashamed and disgusted to be trapped in this rathole with them.
I hope the world can continue on without the USA, because we have fucked this planet without a kiss and are now in the process of showing our ass to the world before we jump out of the fucking window.
fuck.
This is very funny, because the kind of people who want Trump's face smeared all over their official documents are probably not the kind of people who do a lot of international travel.
Everyone who does submit for a new passport should explicitly request a picture of Obama instead.
When I've traveled internationally, both during his first presidency and recently, people would occasionally ask me what I thought about him. I would tell them and they would often say something like "that's what everyone I've talked to seems to think," in a somewhat accusatory way (or maybe my embarrassment makes me a little paranoid,) like we are not being honest.
And I basically say what you just said. Sure, there are probably a few trump supporting liars among those you've spoken to, but for the most part, trump supporters are incurious people, scared of everything, and not interested in experiencing new things and places.
A trump supporter (he would just say Republican, but there is no difference imo) I work with just took his family on an international vacation for the first time about a month ago. He went to Costa Rica and stayed in a resort. When he got back and people asked him about it he would say "it's great, the resort had everything you need, there were lots of English TV stations with American programming, tons of 'normal' food, and everybody in stores spoke English" (in the little strip of stores right outside the resort designed to give just the right amount of 'local flavor' without being scary). That's about as adventurous as I imagine the average magat to be.
Kind of the point,. though, not? Punish those that hate trump by forcing them to have an image of trump on them
But they’ll actually GET one. Which, once the SAVE America Act passes thanks to the elimination of the filibuster thanks to this dumb ballroom, will allow them to still vote in our final contested election.
He’s not a smart man but his handlers are.
Can you opt out. ? Fuck I have to renew mine this year. God damn it.
Do it now; I don’t think this shit hits before July.
Can you renew early?
I read that it's optional, you can still request a normal passport, and that it would be the DC office that first issues these new ones.
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.
What do you mean applying online? Last I knew, you could only fill/print out documents online, and applied at the post office.
Guy thinks he is the country, between this and the currency he wants his name on.
Cant forget about the National Park passes, either
What happens to the legal validity of the passport if that page was missing?
What if he acquires a bespoke little toothbrush mustache and a forehead tattoo that says "pedo" all done in ink suspiciously similar to what's in my favorite pen?
Unfortunately, it's then altered and likely not valid anymore. That said, maybe a little black smudge under his nose will not go amiss.
If I cover his face with a sticker of Snufflelufulcus does it invalidate my passport?
Glad I renewed mine early. Now if only I had a work visa from somewhere else to put in it....
Imagine the ego to think you, the current president, should be commemorated for the country's 250th birthday. Shouldn't it be Washington? Or someone or something associated with the founding of the country?
(Note: I'm not saying Washington was a good person, just that he is associated with the beginning of the country)
Reminder: not even the UK monarch has his face on the passport. I doubt any monarch in europe has that
Ugh, I have mine and my son's that are in need of renewal. I really hope I don't get one with his loser pedophile face on it.
I read in the original comments that you'll only get this at the Washington DC office and only if you ask for it, so you and your sons are probably safe from having a demented fascist dictator in your passport for now, so that's something at least 🤷🏻
You can bet your bottom dollar that they'll try to make it the national default if it's profitable enough for them and their owner donors and they don't receive enough well-deserved pushback for sure, though.
