Donald Trumps efforts to brand the US government with his name and image advanced on Friday when the White House unveiled new images of a passport watermarked with his portrait to mark Americas 250th anniversary.
The White House called it simply the patriot passport, while on Truth Social the president introduced it as The U.S.A.s New Passport, which says, Welcome, but be good!
The state department says the limited-edition commemorative US passport was created to commemorate the historic occasion of Americas 250th anniversary and will be issued at the Washington Passport Agency in Washington, DC starting on July 6, 2026, while supplies last.
The state department said it would issue a commemorative passport in April, but the finished item features different artwork.

(13,653 posts)And how does Trump's photo commemorate our 250th anniversary. He had nothing to do with founding the country and is working hard to ensure that the democracy ends at 250.

(10 posts)Why add "Welcome, but be good!"? Only U.S. Citizens and certain U.S. Nationals have a passport in the first place.

(184,043 posts)I saw the trump post on new passports and laughed. The holders of these passports are being told "Welcome, but be good". The only people who get these passports are US citizens who live here already

Before moving on to more serious topics, The Weekend co-host Jackie Alemany told the panel, Let's talk about Donald Trump's new commemorative passport. This features a picture of the President leaning over scowling with his signature scowl, but it also has a new catchphrase on it. His message: Welcome, but be good.
That led to an initial outburst of laughter and all five panelists talking over each other before conservative journalist David Drucker attempted, I mean sure, we should all be good, whether you're coming here or not.
I don't I mean, what do you do with that? he asked before pausing, which led to another outburst of laughter.
Boston Globe columnist Kimberly Atkins Stohr interjected, Does he understand what a passport does? A passport allows you to travel .
To leave the country! co-host Eugene Daniels interrupted.
