US President Donald Trump has unveiled a new limited-edition US passport featuring his picture, sparking both praise and outrage. The passport, which marks the country's 250th anniversary of independence, is said to be a 'one-of-a-kind' collectible for Americans.

The image features a glowering Trump leaning on his desk and his signature, with the text of the Declaration of Independence in the background. It appears to be based on a portrait taken by White House photographer Daniel Torok. The opposite page shows a painting depicting the declaration's signing in 1776, with the words 'United States of America 250.'

The State Department had previously announced that a commemorative passport with 'custom artwork' would be available from July 6. However, it remains unclear whether Trump's passport will be available to the general public or only to those who make in-person appointments in Washington.

Trump has been known for his aggressive efforts to put his personal stamp on government institutions. Banners of the president have flown outside several government buildings, and the Treasury Department has said that his signature will soon appear on the one-dollar bill.

And the latest move has raised questions about the president's intentions and the potential implications for American democracy.

'The U.S.A.'s New Passport, which says, 'Welcome, but be good!'' Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform featuring the passport mock-up.

But it appears not everyone is pleased with the move. Some have taken to social media to express their outrage and disappointment, with many calling it a 'self-aggrandizing' move by the president.

In April, a department official said the Trump-themed passports would only be available at in-person appointments in Washington 'for as long as there is availability.' But it remains unclear whether that will be the case.

The controversy surrounding Trump's passport is just the latest in a long line of high-profile moves by the president to put his personal stamp on government institutions.

Some have questioned whether the move is an attempt to bolster Trump's image ahead of the impending elections.

The 45th US President, who was born in 1946, has been a polarizing figure throughout his career.

A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Trump went on to become a millionaire businessman before entering politics.

He won the presidency in 2016, defeating Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton, and has since become known for his hardline immigration policies and his 'America First' agenda.

Trump will be the first sitting US president featured in Americans' travel documents.

The new passport has been hailed by some as a 'novel gesture' by the president, but critics have accused him of 'politicizing' a symbol of American identity.

The controversy surrounding the passport has sparked renewed debate about the role of politics in American life and the limits of presidential power.

The question remains whether Trump's passport will become a collector's item or a symbol of division.
