Description

Sam Stein and Ben Parker break down a Bulwark exclusive that the State Department is putting Trump's face on U.S. passports, as part of "America 250." Sam and Ben walk through what the redesign would actually include, why it’s unprecedented, and how it fits into a broader pattern of Trump branding across federal symbols and institutions. Plus, they break down how we reached out to the White House and State Department for comment and gave them time to respond. Instead, the White House sent the story to Fox News.

Stalin, Saddam, and Gaddafi all had statutes and buildings created to praise their glory. They were all torn down.

Sure! Let’s celebrate the 250th anniversary of our country with pictures of the man that ruined it. Sounds about right.

Putting a convicted felon's picture on a passport only puts a bigger target on Americans when they travel abroad.
