The story is it’s about the 250 American Anniversary…
Bull Shit….
It IS about Donald J. Trump’s ‘Brand‘ ego….
Period….
It’s another limited edition Trump special like the sneakers and other stuff….
The Trump passports can only be obtained at the Washington Passport Agency….
Regular passports should be the same….
The State Department will begin offering a new version of U.S. passports featuring an image of President Donald Trump inside, said two U.S. administration officials, the latest effort to cement Trump’s brand on the nation.
A picture of Trump — surrounded by the text of the Declaration of Independence and the American flag — will be included on one of the inside pages of the new passports, with the president’s signature in gold appearing below it, to commemorate the 250th anniversary of American independence, said officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the program before its unveiling….

For Americans who don’t want Trump’s face on their passport, they can renew their passport online or go to a passport agency outside of Washington. But this will be the only available passport for those who show up in person at the Washington Passport Agency until this limited edition runs out.
“Online options or other locations will maintain the existing passport design,” said a State Department official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the technicalities of the program.
State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott said there would be a “limited number” of specially designed passports released for America’s 250th anniversary in July.
“These passports will feature customized artwork and enhanced imagery while maintaining the same security features that make the U.S. Passport the most secure documents in the world,” Pigott said in a statement.
The commemorative passports would be yet another instance where Trump has placed his name or likeness — or both — on an institution, initiative or government good since the start of his second term as president. He has proposed naming everything from tax-advantaged investment accounts for children to a new class of Navy battleships after himself….’
