Outgoing Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), a moderate Republican and former Air Force general, hammered President Donald Trump on Wednesday for adding his face to the U.S. passport the latest piece of American life to be adorned by Trumps image.
We got word this morning that the State Department is preparing to issue Donald Trump-branded passports, and I think we have a mockup of them so people can see there, began CNN anchor John Berman, who added:
Thats the outside. The inside has a picture of President Trump on the inside with a golden signature on top of the Declaration of Independence. They will be available, were told, at the Washington Passport Office, the default location. You may get your passport in Nebraska, but You know, I dont know if youre up for renewal, but how do you feel about going to get a Trump-branded passport?
Bacon replied, I have to renew it in about a year. I think its a little silly, but we laughed at Russia when they had pictures of Lenin and Stalin everywhere. Go to China, they had pictures of Mao everywhere. You go to North Korea, pictures of Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il, Kim Jong-un. Were America, and I think we do less of that. And I just think theres a bit of overreach by some of the subordinates of the president who are trying to cater to his attention. Its not really America to do this.
