President Donald Trump posted an image of a limited-edition "Patriot Passport" that places his portrait on a U.S. passport to mark the country's 250th anniversary, captioning it "The U.S.A.'s New Passport, which says, 'Welcome, but be good!'" The White House's official account reposted the rendering on Friday. A post attributed to the State Department said the edition will be issued only at the Washington Passport Agency beginning July 6. Commentators and analysts noted that a U.S. passport is issued to American citizens for travel abroad and questioned the inscription "Welcome, but be good," with one commentator, Miller, saying the design "raises the question, does Trump know what a passport is for?" The image and caption have become a focal point in coverage of presidential participation in the 250th anniversary events.
