Images of the new passport were shared with The Bulwark on condition that it not publish them. According to the source, a government official who provided The Bulwark with color photographs of the redesign, the State Department is planning a “limited run” of 25,000 Trump-emblazoned passports. As of now, according to the source, the new design is still awaiting approval.
Shit, looks like I will be renewing my passport a few months early. Can I put on the application that I am renewing it early because I don’t want to carry around Trump’s picture for the next 10 years?
