State Department Releases 250,000 More Passports Featuring Trump’s Face
The agency said it was expanding access to the limited-edition travel documents because of “overwhelming demand.”
The U.S. Department of State has announced the expansion of the "Patriot Passport," a limited-edition travel document featuring President Donald Trump's image. This special passport commemorates America's 250th anniversary and was initially released in April. The State Department expanded access to the passport due to "overwhelming demand."
Initial appointments were only available at the Washington Passport Agency, but starting August 8, Americans can make appointments at passport agencies or centers nationwide. The "Patriot Passport" design includes an image of President Trump alongside the text of the Declaration of Independence and a depiction of the Founding Fathers signing the document.
Several Democrats have criticized the Trump Administration for diverting attention from other pressing issues like affordability and focusing on a Trump-branded commemorative passport instead.
