The US State Department is preparing to issue a limited edition passport featuring a large image of President Donald Trump on the inside cover, marking a historic first for a sitting president on an official US travel document. This initiative is part of the celebrations for America's 250th anniversary of independence in July. White House spokesperson Olivia Wales described the new design as a way for Americans to participate in the celebrations, emphasizing a renewal of national pride under Trump's leadership. In addition to the passport, Trump's signature will also be added to US dollar bills, making him the first sitting president to have his signature on currency. Critics, including Democratic Congressman Mike Levin, have voiced their disapproval, arguing that Trump's actions reflect vanity rather than patriotism. Mary Trump, the president's niece, humorously expressed her relief at having renewed her passport before this new design was announced.
