TOI Correspondent from Washington: The US State Department is preparing to roll out a limited-edition “Trump passport” to mark America’s 250th birthday – a glossy, gold-accented document that is equal parts travel permit, commemorative souvenir, and a divisive red flag, an ode to both American independence and, critics say, presidential narcissism.
The redesigned passport, slated for a summer debut pending final approval, keeps the familiar navy exterior but tweaks it just enough to announce the occasion. “United States of America” will loom larger and higher on the cover, perched above the crest like a headline that insists on being read first. Flip it over, and the back features a stylized American flag with “250” nestled between the original 13 stars.
