This is very funny, because the kind of people who want Trump's face smeared all over their official documents are probably not the kind of people who do a lot of international travel.
When I've traveled internationally, both during his first presidency and recently, people would occasionally ask me what I thought about him. I would tell them and they would often say something like "that's what everyone I've talked to seems to think," in a somewhat accusatory way (or maybe my embarrassment makes me a little paranoid,) like we are not being honest.
And I basically say what you just said. Sure, there are probably a few trump supporting liars among those you've spoken to, but for the most part, trump supporters are incurious people, scared of everything, and not interested in experiencing new things and places.
A trump supporter (he would just say Republican, but there is no difference imo) I work with just took his family on an international vacation for the first time about a month ago. He went to Costa Rica and stayed in a resort. When he got back and people asked him about it he would say "it's great, the resort had everything you need, there were lots of English TV stations with American programming, tons of 'normal' food, and everybody in stores spoke English" (in the little strip of stores right outside the resort designed to give just the right amount of 'local flavor' without being scary). That's about as adventurous as I imagine the average magat to be.
Everyone who does submit for a new passport should explicitly request a picture of Obama instead.
Kind of the point,. though, not? Punish those that hate trump by forcing them to have an image of trump on them
But they’ll actually GET one. Which, once the SAVE America Act passes thanks to the elimination of the filibuster thanks to this dumb ballroom, will allow them to still vote in our final contested election.
He’s not a smart man but his handlers are.
Can you opt out. ? Fuck I have to renew mine this year. God damn it.
Do it now; I don’t think this shit hits before July.
👍
I read that it's optional, you can still request a normal passport, and that it would be the DC office that first issues these new ones.
Can you renew early?
It's already expired so yeah I can do it now. I've just been lazy about getting a new photo. But I guess now I'm motivated.

🤢🤮
The commemorative passport will be the default document for people applying in person at the Washington office, although those who want a standard passport will be able to get one by applying online or outside Washington, officials said.
What do you mean applying online? Last I knew, you could only fill/print out documents online, and applied at the post office.
Renewals can be done online if you meet certain criteria, I got my passport card renewed recently and did it all on my phone, including taking the picture.
Glad I renewed mine early. Now if only I had a work visa from somewhere else to put in it....
Guy thinks he is the country, between this and the currency he wants his name on.
Cant forget about the National Park passes, either
I was at a national park last month, and they kept trying to sell me the pass since I'm old enough for the discount; I told the cashier that I would rather pay full price every single day I was there than have that garbage in my wallet. She was sympathetic.
Hey, he’s not in jail yet…
Can I pay extra not to have to see his ugly mug on my passport?
If I cover his face with a sticker of Snufflelufulcus does it invalidate my passport?
Fuck, right when I need to renew my passport
What happens to the legal validity of the passport if that page was missing?
What if he acquires a bespoke little toothbrush mustache and a forehead tattoo that says "pedo" all done in ink suspiciously similar to what's in my favorite pen?
Unfortunately, it's then altered and likely not valid anymore. That said, maybe a little black smudge under his nose will not go amiss.
It'll still make it hard to not puke to have it in my pocket
HA! I knew it. What a sleaze.
Christ am I glad that I just renewed my passport before this bullshit.
Can’t wait to pay a million bucks for one of those!!!
