Trump unveils new US passport featuring his stern-faced image

President Donald Trump unveiled a limited-edition US passport rendering on June 26 in Washington to mark the country's 250th anniversary, featuring his stern-faced likeness.

The initiative includes a painting of the 1776 declaration signing and the banner "United States of America 250," reflecting Trump's push to center national identity around his persona.

This move signals a new phase in American political branding where the president's image becomes a standard element of official state documents.

  • The United States will celebrate its 250th birthday on July 4, 2026, with major national events planned across Washington and other cities.
  • Trump has previously issued commemorative coins and medals featuring his likeness, often selling them as limited-edition collectibles.
  • The 1776 Declaration of Independence signing painting shown on the passport is based on a well-known historical engraving by John Trumbull.
