Eric Trump Unveils U.S. Passport Featuring President Trump's Portrait
· World · The Independent, Indian Express
Eric Trump showcased a new US passport featuring a portrait of President Trump imprinted over the Declaration of Independence. The document, dubbed the patriot passport, includes the president's signature and a "250" stamp marking the US Semiquincentennial. This marks the first time a living, current president has appeared on a US passport, following the recent introduction of President Trump's face on a $1 coin. New York Governor Kathy Hochul's press office responded to the video by sharing an image of Logan Roy from the HBO show Succession with the quote "You are not serious people." The State Department previously confirmed that applicants for the special passport must apply in person at a designated center.
