Why does Trump say 'WELCOME ..' on new Passports when they are issue to people LEAVING the USA???

Others have asked this question but I have NOT seen a response to the question!!


The State Department is issuing a limited-edition passport that features Donald Trump on the inside cover.

2. Good grief. Who'd want that image on their passport?

I’d be seriously nervous presenting that passport as I entered another country.

And struggling at that. Fists clenched, grimacing, hunched over.

To be legally allowed to get my drivers license..per new laws of Florida. A typo has been a nightmare to deal with and to not go into details, I will totally flip out if and when I get my passport and it’s defaced. I’ll have to send it back with a request to issue the original cover and if not, I’ll have to wait until he’s gone and try again.

who has absolutely no concept about anything. Too bad he doesn't have anyone around him who has the courage to tell him what a complete and total idiot he is.

Looks like the commonly-used 1823 Stone engraving.
But, like Trump, not the real thing.
