A) if this is in celebration of 250 years of freedom, democracy etc why isn’t he smiling?? Why the glowering face of Doom??
B) since passports are frequently used as ID documents (that is, not just used for travel), why have his signature on it??? It’s not his passport, it’s mine (or yours etc).
I'm glad I renewed mine during the Biden administration. Next renewal time, if his face is still there, I'd prefer Chinese citizenship.
I think it’s an option if you want the 250th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence.

Clean your rump with Trump?
I think NPR this morning said "limited number" of these. Great relief to me if true! Then i wonder - will there be an extra charge for them? Where will it go? Will they become "collectible"...??
Regarding the facial expression - the ONLY apparently enthusiastic smiling pic of him i've seen was with King Charles yesterday. Any others with a smile were more like "gotcha" moments from rallies and maybe interviews.
all of this -- the huge banners of his mug on buildings in DC, adding his name to the Kennedy Center, the Peace Institute, image on a coin, signature on currency, and now this is clearly meant to overwhelm and demoralize us. Like Big Brother glaring at us all the time. So we just have to ignore it, or mock it. If I was issued one of these passports, I'd just put a post-it over his disgusting face. Pretty sure that wouldn't invalidate it.
just like I'm going to sharpie his signature off every bill I get my hands on.
don't forget the National Park pass. It's just sad and insane that we have such a narcissist in charge.

it's not just narcissism. it's calculated fascism. if it was just Trump's personal narcissism, this stuff would be slow-walked or rejected by the people tasked with carrying it out. But it's clear everyone in his regime is totally on board with these displays of authoritarianism.

Should we just add his name to the start of everything?
