Senators Tell Rubio Trump’s Face Doesn’t Belong on Passports
A group led by Democratic senators has urged Secretary of State Marco Rubio to halt plans for a limited-edition U.S. passport featuring President Donald Trump’s likeness. The senators argue that such an action would be anti-democratic and politicize a document central to national identity, potentially incurring wasteful taxpayer costs. These passports, intended to commemorate the nation’s 250th anniversary, are part of a broader trend of the Trump administration placing his image on various national symbols and currency.
