Trump Unveils Limited-Edition 'Patriot Passport' Featuring His Own Portrait and Signature

President Trump released images of a new limited-edition U.S. passport commemorating America’s 250th anniversary, with his portrait displayed on the inside cover against the Declaration of Independence and the American flag, alongside his signature in gold. The White House branded it the 'Patriot Passport.' Trump became the first living president to be featured on a U.S. passport, deepening his pattern of using federal documents and symbols for personal branding and self-glorification.

""Welcome, but be good!"" — Trump’s message to Americans receiving the new passport, suggesting conditional patriotism and good behavior as a condition of travel.
