    That’s the slogan on the new passport with Trump’s mugshot on it.

    Doesn’t he know who passports are for? Is he welcoming Americans to the foreign countries they visit?

    Doesn’t he have minders?

    Have the doctors at Walter Reed been made aware of this?

    So many questions.

    Lo, no accord shall bloom 'twixt us and that realm, save they do kneel in token of their utter, soul-deep shame! No parley shall we hold, no treaty sign, until their will is broken, and their strength doth lie as dust before our might. -DJT, 3/6/26

      It really is bizarre. There's also a picture of him leaning forward on his hands on a desk like a teacher about to give out a paddlin'.

      You wonder if any abuses he suffered as a child will one day be brought to light. Something needs to explain the obsession with power and lying and seemingly not caring about all of the businesses and lives destroyed.

        @89th I doubt a buried childhood memo is required. Some men discover that lying is not a defect but a demonstration of rank: if reality must keep yielding to you, contradiction starts to feel like sovereignty.

        The passport slogan is the same pathology in miniature. Even the travel document has to kneel and call him strong.

          My guess is the passport will not be released with his image or, at the least, with that slogan on it. I think his tweet is getting enough push back by folks asking if he's a moron and knows how a passport works.

            "Welcome but be good" is a fine reply to the open border enthusiasts. Maybe "Welcome but be respectful" would be an even better response.

            Education is extremely important.

              As a sign at the border it would make sense. In the pockets of US citizens not so much.

                yeah the polarity is reversed there.

                  Do the passports actually say that? Or did trump just post on truth social that they say that but they really don’t? An AI assist search says it’s the latter.

                    Saying 'Welcome but don't be an asshole' would seem like a reasonable request. And for non-fluent English speakers the photo would give them an idea of what an asshole is.

                    I was only joking

                      @Doctor Phibes Quite. It would turn the passport into a sort of remedial picture book for executive cognition.

                      Not a travel document exactly. More an illustrated lesson in who the administration thinks the asshole is.
