In his second term, Trump (79) attaches great importance to placing his name or likeness prominently. For example, there is the “Trump Gold Card”, which is supposed to offer a visa with the right to stay in the USA for one million dollars. Trump’s portrait can also be seen on the annual map for US national parks. His signature will also appear on dollar bills – a debut for a sitting president. He also had a renowned cultural institution in the capital, the Kennedy Center, renamed the Trump Kennedy Center.
The picture of Trump in the passport is based on the official portrait of his second term in office. The plan was met with biting criticism and ridicule on online platforms. Some users criticized that only autocratic rulers or dictators allowed their image to be glorified in such a way. The White House account on the online service (sda/dpa)
