US launches Patriot Passport with Trump image for 250th anniversary

US President Donald Trump unveiled a commemorative ‘Patriot Passport’ featuring his portrait at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office, alongside artwork of the 1776 Declaration of Independence and the inscription ‘United States of America 250’. The limited‑edition passport, announced on Truth Social, will be issued only through in‑person appointments at the Washington Passport Agency and selected special events nationwide; applicants using online, mail, embassy or consulate channels will receive the standard blue passport. State Department officials say the design marks the nation’s 250th year of independence and will be available while supplies last. The move has drawn criticism from opponents who see it as politicizing a federal document, while supporters praise it as a patriotic tribute to America’s history. The passport is part of a series of symbolic projects launched during Trump’s second term to celebrate the semiquincentennial. Will you schedule an in‑person appointment for the Patriot Passport, or stick with the regular passport given the extra effort required?
