Several weeks ago, the State Department rolled out a limited edition “Patriotic Passport,” as it’s called, featuring President Trump on it. This is intended to commemorate the 250th birthday of the United States, and it was only supposed to be available at the Washington Passport Agency, until quantities ran out.
Well, if you were dying to get one of these and couldn’t make it to the correct passport agency, there’s some great news…
In this post:
250K Trump passports will be available nationwide
The State Department has announced that in response to “overwhelming demand,” an additional 250,000 special commemorative passports are being made available to the public. That means Americans across the country will now have the opportunity to apply for one of these unique passports.
The State Department claims that “since its release in celebration of 250 years of American independence, the commemorative passport has generated extraordinary public interest.” So the State Department is hosting application events at passport agencies and centers for “patriots all across our nation.” Appointments are required to apply for the “Patriot Passport,” and can be scheduled at travel.state.gov/passport250.
The passport features a portrait of Trump alongside the text of the Declaration of Independence, a Freedom 250 gold flag, and an image of the Founding Fathers signing the Declaration of Independence.
At least applying for these passports is optional
It goes without saying that there’s no precedent for a sitting president putting their face on a passport, regardless of the circumstances. However, we don’t have to debate the merit of that.
I’m trying to be really balanced here, so let me just say that I at least appreciate that applying for this “Patriot Passport” is optional. At the Washington Passport Agency, people were being forced to apply for this passport, as there was no other option when applying there.
If someone wants to specifically make an appointment and apply for a “Patriot Passport,” hey, have at it. I am curious how many of these actually end up being requested. I imagine in the case of the Washington Passport Agency, it’s hard to assess just how much “overwhelming demand” was just due to people applying for passports because they needed them, vs. people specifically going to that passport agency because they wanted the Trump version.
There’s no denying that the special passport “generated extraordinary public interest,” though…
Bottom line
President Trump’s special “Patriotic Passport” will now be available nationwide, with an additional 250,000 expected to be produced. Initially these were only available at the Washington Passport Agency, while now they’re available nationwide by appointment. So if you’ve always wanted a passport with Trump’s face on it, you’re in luck!
Hallelujah, I thought I was going to be forced look at him for the next ten years………optional has never sounded so good
I will die before Ii have a passport with that jackasses 'mug shot on it
If you believe the "overwhelming demand," he also has a bridge to sell you....
In Brooklyn?? No way!!
*pulls out checkbook*
It was really "underwhelming demand" in the DC area and they have to get rid of the overstock!
What is REALLY happening here is that nobody wants them and they don't want to get stuck with all of these already-printed books that will eventually have to be destroyed. They are hoping to unload them by increasing the audience of eligible recipients.
No, no, no... you see, a random commenter at LALF, who goes by "Edw3rd," just assured me this morning that's all "Untrue," because he tried to get "appointments" for this commemorative passport at "ATL, MIA, etc." but could not find availability. So, there's at least one guy out there who really wants this, badly. Good luck to Edw3rd... *blows a single 'party horn' lethargically*
No actual patriot wants that ugly orange mug on their passport for the next decade.
At least it's optional... for now.
Pass.
Call me unbalanced, but not if you cried your eyes out would I want to see his mug on every international trip I take. Will use my Irish passport instead.
You really fall for this shit?
I'm surprised you are so gullible.

Translation: nobody locally wanted them so let’s open the audience to try and dump them before it goes public the idea stunk.
I'm wondering how many people who were forced to get one of these fold it with picture outward and put it in their back pocket with the picture facing their butt? That's something to consider!
There is no limit to trumps' many mental illnesses. I cannot begin to imagine the ego, the narcissism involved in this persons brain.
‘Dark triad’ incarnate.
Someone should stop Donald Trampel. America the land, where idiots can become president…
you do have to admire the irony of him in front of the constitution and Declaration of Independence as he tramples both and ignores the judiciary.
Even his team gets that they need to portray him as above the rule of law.
True, and those checks-and-balances only work if the co-equal branches actually choose to check the Executive. When a Republican partisan majority in Congress abdicates its oversight duties and the Supreme Court's 6-3 conservatives expand presidential immunity, the guardrails disappear by design. So, let us also not forget the enablers. 94 days until the Midterms.
Oh FFS...I submitted my application to renew my passport yesterday! Please...PLEASE tell me online passport renewals will not be subjected to this.
It clealry says you have to select it and there is only 250k available. Stop being so dramatic

Do yourself a favor, have your passport ready and open to the bio page. No one is going to see the inside cover. No one has time for anything else.
To be honest, if Trump's picture wasn't on it, I think it would be kind of cool to have a limited edition passport.
However, now everytime I see Trump's signature, it reminds me of his signature on the birthday card he sent to Epstein (and what his signature represents on the card). Gives me the creeps every time I see this passport.

I think this passport offers a hypothetical problem.
The people who actually have the means to see the world and some international experience will avoid this passport like the plague, as they know it will cause some strong reactions anywhere outside the USA, while those who actually want one don't have the means nor the mental capabilities to get their sorry asses abroad. These are also the people who keep telling themselves that 'abroad...

Stereotype much?
Dictator doing dictator things
The UK might was to adopt this practice. Therefore, the British could keep track of the revolving door of recent Prime Ministers.
Make these passports collector items
If Trump had branded toilet paper the same way, it would have been more useful and had more demand.
Especially with all the *explosive diarrhea* caused by his corruption and defunding of public health.
Love this! ❤️
Will be using it unashamedly. Please let me know where to send the royalty checks.

Voted for the guy, given same choices would vote for him again. But no, I do not want a passport with his pic on it, and I think it's inappropriate that he is on it. It's the 250th anniversary of the country not his own
"would vote for him again" ... *vomits on the 22nd Amendment*
"Voted for the guy"...that would be enough to get you imprisoned in my world, and you'd never see daylight again as long as you lived.
You think THAT's inappropriate but not the multitude of other things he's done - to the point you'd still vote for him again? I mean this passport thing is like a level 3 of 'inappropriate' things he's done.
I was just in Europe for 2+ weeks. While my group had other Americans, it was mostly Europeans. They absolutely hate Trump and our government. They can't fathom how we could have elected him our President.
Having Trump on your passport when you didn't have to means you're MAGA and it isn't going to make your entry into other countries any easier.
Glad you had a great trip over there!
While I’m no fan of the 'patriot passport' concept, border control just doesn't work that way. His portrait is printed on the inside front cover, not the exterior. Foreign border agents scan your RFID chip, check your visa status, and look for red flags; they’re not flipping through interior artwork to run political vibe checks on travelers. Or at least, they shouldn't be.
As I mentioned...

As I mentioned earlier, we shouldn't be eager to judge or penalize everyday citizens for the actions of their political leaders, especially when so many of us didn't vote for this.
There are plenty of countries where they very much do flip through all the pages looking for red flags. In an African, or non-Gulf Muslim country I'd say that having requested one of these would be a red flag.
And even in Europe, if a particular guard or check-in clerk decided to slap an SSSS sticker or similar on everyone presenting one, and it became public, the reaction from the vast majority would be congratulations.
Albert, often immigration officers in Africa or the Middle East are looking for specific visa violations or restricted country stamps (like Israeli or Iranian entry marks).
Also, the dreaded 'SSSS' on a boarding pass (additional screening) is a US TSA/DHS security flag. Neither foreign check-in agents nor European border guards have the ability or authority to issue 'SSSS' tags to punish travelers over domestic political preferences.
Aka: They overproduced these and have excess stock, so they're hoping by allowing anyone to get one, they'll run down the supply faster
Nah, you can also exaggerate now other passport offices have the ability to print them also.
All he has to do is to decree an order. Even if 2 out of 250,000. Still plural suckers, which makes it a “demand.”
Makes no sense, if people are struggling to get Real IDs, what makes getting a passport easier? They are more expensive and require more proof.
If you're ever on a flight and there's a hijacking or other terrorism incident, expect the holders of these passports to be the first hostages that get shot. Or beheaded with rusty Saudi boxcutters.
Will this incent a few of the 50%-ish of Americans who don't have a passport to get one?
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness," from Mark Twain's 1869 book The Innocents Abroad. So, maybe there is still 'hope'... or, we'll send a bunch of *idiots* abroad.
Not necessarily. I have previously had neutral opinions about certain countries and came back having negative opinions and vice versa. So in some cases, travel made things worse.
Is that you again, Col. Saunders (sic)... another finger lickin' bad hot-take, like usual.
Most people getting these passports have never left the country let alone the state they reside. More novelty to add to their altar of Trump memorabilia.
Biased website?????? Gtfoh. Done with this site since u can’t be neutral. And no. I am not a Republican
Bye ✌️
This is a travel blog and not an airport so no need to announce your departure.
Zing!!
Santa Fe... *chef's kiss*
Came to say this!
Noooo. Please don’t go.,,
“And no. I am not a Republican”
And we all believe you.
> I am not a Republican.
You're definitely MAGA which is even worse.
Seriously, does that 'I'm not x' or 'as a X' stuff still work on anyone? Reminds me of in November 2020 when Pennsylvania Republican politician Dean Browning went viral for accidentally tweeting, "I'm a black gay guy and I can personally say that Obama did nothing for me... Everything is so much better under Trump though," from his main account while trying to use a burner/sock-puppet account. Call it out when you see it, folks!
F off maga asshat
Please don't go, Elizabeth!
Elizabeth, please allow me to quote and paraphrase the leader which you clearly admire. He’s clearly grabbed you by the pussy, and you were happy to let him. So you must know that your value resides only in producing children and taking care of your man. However you got out of the kitchen long enough to post this is beyond me, but you really need to go back to your place. M
Oh! And any problem with this, Piggy? “Fuck your feelings!”
To quote Jerry Springer: The Opera, "All women are whores, whores and sluts and prostitutes." And here's the proof.
Always "winning" here in the USA - glad we added a convicted sexual predator to our Passports - proving that America has lost the plot.
The cynic in me thinks this is tied to the SAVE Act, which makes it difficult to vote without a passport, and which large swaths of the MAGA base won’t have. One way to encourage them to get a passport is to put Trump’s picture on it.
I suspect the validity of this passport will be no longer than the current administration. If the next President is a Democrat, he can invalidate these passports and require holders to get them replaced with standard issue.
Fascinating theories ya got there, Johnny boy. While the SAVE Act passed the House, it is unlikely to pass the Senate, and even if it did, it doesn't actually force anyone to use a passport; voters can still use birth certificates, naturalization papers, etc. to prove citizenship. As for validity, future presidents legally can't arbitrarily mass-cancel legal travel documents (of course, laws are human constructs and can change). Besides, the US State Department only made...

Issuing tens of millions before November is logistically unlikely; maybe by 2028, ya know, for the 'third term'... *facepalm*
The next US President invalidating these "special passports" is as absurd as calls for Democratic candidates for US President in 2028 needing to affirm they will tear down the new White House "Trump" ballroom. Stupid. Period.
BTW: I would be fine if all 2026 passports were of the Trump style. I would however select the standard passport because liberal nut job activists would harass me for no reason other than that being their chosen...

Did anyone ever not get a passport because of images of Washington or Jefferson being within the pages? Both were slave owners.
Remember there are many counties where a citizen may not protest (on line or in person) decisions made by their duly elected (or in many cases non-duly elected) leadership. If you hold a US Passport, you are lucky. How many people travel hundreds of kilometers in the desert heat to sneak into China, North Korea, Iran, Russia ?
Oh, and you don't need a passport for the SAVE Act. I agree we are too close to the 2026 election to make any major changes like this, But ID to vote? That is just common sense. Please tell me about the wonderful countries where you don't need an ID to vote?
Steve, there's a difference between proving identity (showing an ID) and proving citizenship (which is what the SAVE Act says it's trying to address). Driver’s licenses and REAL IDs don't satisfy the SAVE Act in 45 states because legal residents can hold them. Without a passport, you would need a birth certificate, which hits married women with name changes hard.
Other Western democracies (Canada, Australia, Europe) do not make voters bring paper birth certificates...

Other Western democracies (Canada, Australia, Europe) do not make voters bring paper birth certificates to register; they use automatic government registration; when you turn 18, the state adds you to the rolls automatically because civil registries already exist. You don't have to hunt down paper birth certificates.
The SAVE Act does the opposite. It rejects automated systems and forces individual citizens to navigate state bureaucracy with paper documents in-hand. Conservatives have historically fought against a 'national identity database' or federal registry as massive federal overreach.
I am fully aware of the content of the SAVE act legislation. I never said REAL ID was ok. READ ID was always about TSA and airplanes. Please don't use "married women" as a statement in thsi area as anyone can change their name.
It needs refining, and a longer time period for people to get appropriate documentation. 2030 election. Yes, if you changed your name, declared gender etc., it is harder - but...

It needs refining, and a longer time period for people to get appropriate documentation. 2030 election. Yes, if you changed your name, declared gender etc., it is harder - but honest and fair elections matter too much. Take time and do it right. You need all those same documents to get a passport, which according to the lefty nut-jobs that post here - no Republicans have.
Those Western democracies you refer to have national ID cards, which as you state, we don't have in the USA. I am okay with national identity cards and make them mandatory to vote (and free). The liberals really don't want them to be honest - even more than the right, because then you can't vote in multiple states, collect benefits in multiple states, and non-citizens would be easy to identify.
Steve, I travel to Australia and Canada, and have friends who live there. In Australia, they don't need any ID to vote on election day; they simply state their name and address. In Canada, photo ID isn't required either; they can present non-photo documents (like a utility bill) or have another registered voter vouch for you. Neither has widespread voter fraud.
The difference isn't that other democracies demand citizens hoard paper birth certificates; it's that...

The difference isn't that other democracies demand citizens hoard paper birth certificates; it's that their governments use automatic civil registries to verify citizenship on the back end when citizens turn 18. The SAVE Act would do the opposite; it forces individual citizens to navigate red tape or pay out-of-pocket for passports ($130+) and birth certificates just to register. Charging citizens money for government documents to exercise a constitutional right is a modern-day poll tax. We recognized those were unconstitutional, lest we forget.
To fix issue moving forward, I am ok with a national birth database along with a DNA sample.
Makes crime solving much easier.
Steve, proposing a mandatory federal DNA database for every American citizen to solve a non-existent voter fraud 'problem' is a wild jump into total government surveillance.
The Fourth Amendment exists to prevent the government from collecting genetic profiles on innocent citizens without a warrant. Sheesh, how quickly those claiming 'common sense' and 'voter integrity' turn into 'mandatory government DNA harvesting.' *facepalm*
We already have a federal DNA database. What do you think all of those covid nasal swabs were about....you know....the ones where you were required to show ID and have your information recorded? Sure they checked for covid but they also collected DNA and submitted it to the .gov Between them and the Mormons, I'd say they have a pretty complete DNA profile of most if not all Americans.
@ Steve K
Oh, have you not thought about the contamination risk?
It's not just contamination of the samples, but of the data - E.g. some sloppy SQL coding joins you to a criminal and the police treat you as though you were them.
Albert gets it. Two sci-fi films, Gattaca (1997, Ethan Hawke, Jude Law) and Minority Report (2002, Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell), each worth a watch/re-watch; even just the trailers are enough of a reminder of why Steve K's ideas on DNA are horrible.
typo "countries" not "counties"
We need an edit function Ben. Just for first hour of a post?
I'm with you on an 'edit' button, even for just 5 minutes, like Crank Flier, Frequent Miler, and a few other blogs have. I swear, I try to proof-read, too, but it doesn't always work-out.
Ugh. *Cranky (not Crank, sorry, Brett!)
I hope they have bandages available for the people, they’ll need them after their knuckles drag on the sidewalk getting there.
Waiting for all the Communists to have a melt down over this.
Speak up commies!
Not wanting the leader's picture on your passport makes you a communist?
"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!" (Love that guy.)
Dude, no one cares.
Republicans have nationalized far more private industry in the last 20 years than Democrats, and one of Trump's only foreign political allies left was literally born in the Soviet Union. Workers of the world unite!
For real, Winston. Especially after that forced sale of a 10% 'golden share' of Intel, DJT is ironically the most 'socialist' president of my lifetime... if MAGAs didn't have double-standards, they'd have no standards at all!
You do understand that placing statues and photos of Dear Leader everywhere is actually a communist practice, not a capitalist one?
The former Soviet Union has a ton of statue graveyards packed with sculptured Lenins and Stalins... And the US will son have a few with gilded Trumps, I guess.

If you're lucky; if not and you draw ATF Agent Ryan Flemming's (Robert Stack) foreign colleague at Immigration, then it will be "cavity searches all around and go deep on 'em."
The Trump passport makes clearance into Epstein Island a breeze!
I look forward to the day I can put my US passport and citizenship in the shredder.
^Bad ideas, even if you're no-fan of this administration or its policies. They won't last forever.
Are we sure about that? On 3 separate occasions a large minority of this country decided that these policies were good ideas, and one of the two only parties in the country formed its identity around them. The man will leave, but the ideas will stay

prepare for secondary inspection every time you present this at a foreign country
That was my thought too. Kind of depends where you go. I travel a lot for work. Seems foolish to risk the ire of an immigration officer who has the ability to give you trouble. It's not a political statement. Just a fact of reality in some places. We've all seen how unhinged someone who is trigged can be.
"prepare for secondary inspection every time you present this at a foreign country"
Exactly. Would love to know the percentage of these who are first time passport holders. Who in their right mind with any travel experience would want the risk of using one of these with how popular DJT is overseas. Stupid is as stupid does.
Imagine getting to a Schengen country, waiting in line 2-3 hours, finally getting to the immigration officer who is tired from a long day, people's attitudes, and has full blown TDS. You get sent to secondary screening where some 300 plus pound guy named Delores with fingers the size of sausages has you crying out Tim Dunn's name as you are "searched." All because you thought it would be cute to have one of these...

I'm curious if Official (government employee) and Diplomat passports have the picture. It wouldn't be surprising.
I definitely don't want one of these (nor would I want one with any sitting president on the pages). But, you observation faces two challenges. First, my passports isn't getting stamped at entry in most countries I frequent. Second, agents have a lot more on their mind than noticing whether Trump's picture is included.
"This cones to mind" ... I always knew you were a cone-head! Ohio...
"any sitting president" what if they 'stand' or 'lay' or 'jog'... where do you draw the line? Bah.
Looks like ya forgot " sh*ting President " as well ...
...although maybe I could be enticed to renewing my passport with a pic of him crouching on the toilet !
... lol
"Popular demand"
We know that sentence
But of course holders of such document should be denied entry into EU. Should go without saying.
No, 'collective punishment' is not the answer, either; there are tens of millions of Americans (maybe more) who oppose this administration and its horrible policies (at home and abroad); we, too, are also applaud by the way this president has treated our allies, like Denmark. It may not help, but, sorry. (Personally, I'm huge fan of my visits to Copenhagen, Faroe Islands; and I love LEGO since I was a child; but, I know you,...

*appalled (Yikes. Most do not 'applaud' absurd attempts to take Greenland, or Canada.)
I don't think people who oppose this administration will get this passport. So they won't be denied entry.
Someone pointed out these say “Welcome, but be good!” which implies that whoever designed it didn’t even really grasp what a passport is for. It’s like they didn’t understand people who want to travel outside the US need to apply for a passport, not foreigners travelling to the US…
Best I can tell, the administration's motto is, "More and more, on and on!"
