A passport doesn't need a Welcome for someone who's already a citizen. What a moron.

Per Grok:

These limited-edition commemorative U.S. passports featuring President Trump’s image (on the inside cover, alongside Declaration of Independence text, American flag imagery, and his signature) are scheduled to begin issuance in summer 2026, around or shortly before July 4. 
They commemorate America’s 250th anniversary (Semiquincentennial) of independence. The U.S. State Department announced this in late April 2026. 
Key Details:
• Availability: Limited run (reports cite ~25,000–30,000 passports). They are issued only in person at the Washington, D.C. Passport Agency (not nationwide or by mail), and only while supplies last. They serve as the default option there for eligible in-person applicants during the rollout. 
• Timing: Rollout aligns with July 4, 2026 celebrations. The State Department has described it as beginning “this summer.” 
• Features: These maintain full standard security features of regular U.S. passports (they are valid for international travel). The Trump image is a commemorative design element, not a change to the standard passport format. 
This is a special, one-time limited edition—not the new standard passport for all applicants. For the latest official details or to apply, check the State Department’s passport site (travel.state.gov) or contact the Washington Passport Agency directly, as availability is expected to be very limited.
